 Good morning, John. In a single drop of water, thousands of organisms can live and thrive. An ecosystem all on its own in a space the size of your fingertip. Varied, peculiar, intricate, and magnificent. There's so much that we know about these miniscule beasts, but also many mysteries left. Even we talk about exploration by going deep or high or far, but there is a whole other world within an arm's reach that nonetheless exists outside of our notice, and the world of the microcosmos is as close as we have ever gotten to something truly alien. Like animals living alongside single-celled giants, diatoms with cell walls made of glass, massive amoebas oozing, ancient mutualistic relationships astounding mysterious abilities. I can't quite explain why I am so astounded by this life. Maybe it's because it was for almost all of human history completely invisible and unknown. Maybe because its discovery transformed how we saw not just life but ourselves and led directly to the improvement of billions of lives. Maybe it's because it gives us a glimpse at cellular machinery, the chemical basis for the majesty of life. Or maybe it's just because it's really pretty and these organisms are our neighbors and I want to know more about them. Whatever it is, I am fascinated by it, and I watch a lot of YouTube videos showcasing this wonderful world. And then I got so obsessed that I reached out to one of my favorites, a guy named James who lives in Poland, and I asked him if he wanted to work together with me on a YouTube channel. You can find his videos primarily on Instagram, there's a link in the description, but we've been working on a channel together for the last few months, and John, it just launched and I love it. It's called Journey to the Microcosmos. Our first episode is out and we'll have a new one every week. It features original music from Andrew Huang and great design and editing from our people here at Complexly. Some of the organisms we feature might be familiar, like we're planning on following a family of tardigrades as they hatch and grow and develop. Some will almost certainly be unfamiliar, but we hope that you will come to love and appreciate them as much as we do. Like Stentor Carulius, one of the largest single-celled organisms on Earth, big enough to be seen with a naked eye. It's big and beautiful and voracious, the blue whale of Pondskum. There's so much to see, so much to know, and Journey to the Microcosmos will take us there. Not rapid-fire educational, like a lot of the stuff I've done before, but chill and laid back. Cause that's how I'm feeling sometimes these days. Though this is not to say that there won't be drama. So you can watch it here, and subscribe here. It's a very different thing than I have done in the past, so I really hope you like it. John, I'll see you on Tuesday.
