"Nature doesn't trade in inconsequential tragedies" is a superb line.
like the tragedy of your own words sounding odd coming out of your mouth
because someone else speaks them better
It’s easy to say, and annoying to hear. Great quote.
Beautiful line
Can you explain what that means please?😊
@@puggilove its a poetic way of saying everything happens for a reason. Or a stupid version of thermodynamics. Take your pick.
Good lord. It does NOT feel like it's been two years. Time really does fly. I've been here since the very beginning, and I'm proud to say it. This channel is so amazing.
I've been here for like 1.5 years, I think, but with a break of a few months but yeah I'm kinda scared of time. Like how is it April already?!
Same here---I remember seeing an announcement for a new channel, and watched the first episode the first day it had posted, and when I heard "...back in 2019" I thought NO WAY it has been that long already!
When he said "70 episodes", I was like hold on a sec... what?
I feel the same haha it feels like last week i caught that first episode on my feed
Yeah agreed I've been here since the start it doesn't not feel like it's been that long at all.
Thank you so much James, Hank, Deboki and Matthew. We live in a Diatom's world. Please don't forget the way Diatoms regulate climate and life on Earth 🙏💗
Happy to hear a new voice, but the low key soft tone I'm used to hearing here is a bit missing. I'm sure there is a learning curve, it will get there. Thanks for the video!
She just loves this topic!
Hank sounds like he's doing ASMR. Deboki sounds like she's giving a Ted talk. I miss the soothing, relaxing vibe.
yaaa like this organism hass like these frustules, omg like wow! she sounds like a sephora employee not a biologist
Beautiful footage and excellent narration! Diatoms are by far the most peculiar and aesthetically pleasing microgems.
Diatomaceous are the source of diatomaceous earths (food grade is at health food stores). This is how to get the widest variety of probiotics for your gut. Veterinarians and doctors have recommended over thousands of years for gut health.
I am a retired physician so I by law have to tell you this information does not make a doctor/patient relationship. Consider this a public service announcement.
Have you considered what makes them aesthetically pleasing?
I know the dark secret to Hank's extra-chill voice he uses in these - he's totally into ASMR! If Deboki wants to master this mode of talking, I'm afraid there's no going around it - she'll have to dive into the ASMR rabbit hole :D
Leaving my fooling around behind, the writing on this show has always been on point, glad to here the voice behind the words!
+
In my honest opinion, ASMR needs to die
@@junholee4961 Oh yes, just because you don't like something, it has to die. Sure, that makes sense!
@@williandalsoto806 Lol I said "opinion". + ASMR brings this sexual implication, which imho is not great
@@junholee4961 its a comfortable tingling feeling in the head, so it really shouldn't.
I love diatoms. They’re so sparkly ✨
They are like little angels... Or little sparkly robots. Angelic robots?
Thanks Deboki! Both for your beautiful narration, and for your wonderful writing!
Deboki does a good job at narration, but Hanks voice is just perfect.
WAIT, this is HANK? Your whisper voice was so different, I didn't know it was you and I've been following this channel for months. Amazing
Always has been *pulls gun... in space*
I was looking for this comment. Lol surprised me too.
shoutout to Deboki for acing the narration for this episode
Refreshing to hear a different voice
I look forward to her more, but I will never not like Hank
Wow. This new narrator is a welcome addition to the channel. Hank has this Zen vibe in the way he narrates, but with Deboki you can hear the subtle excitement of a writer speaking her own words. She's less a nature documentary narrator, like David Attenborough, and more of a great college lecturer, like E.O. Wilson.
I think I still slightly prefer Hanks narration, but it was still interesting to see another take on it. And it still was her amazing writing that made Hanks narration that good, so she really is amazing.
Hi Deboki!
Really love the stories you've written. I never thought I'd be interested on watching microorganisms, but here I am enjoying Journey to the Microcosmos thanks to you and the rest of the Journey to the Microcosmos team!
Deboki is a wonderful writer, but I must admit that Hank's narration creates a magical atmosphere that makes the experience truly unique in TH-cam. With all my respects to Deboki's narration, I would be very sad to lose Hank's. But if it's only occasionally, that is fine :)
It's already been seventy episodes! Man time flies when you're watching great content!
Hank wanting free time / starting new projects = new narrator
I look forward to hearing more from Deboki
As a kid my dad used Diatomaceous Earth (DE) as the substrate of our pool filter. It's like chalk. It blew both our minds when your first video explained what they are. The thought of trillions of shells cleaning pool water is amazing.
Deboki is wonderful, but she’ll never be able to coax me to sleep like Hank.
i agree
That's my problem, I use Hanks voice to sleep to it's way more soothing
I think she can if spoken on a more asmr tone, like slow and calm
I've loved Hank's soothing voice the whole series, but Deboki's scientific excitement comes through more and it is just lovely. The writing on this series has always been wonderful and this is an exciting new addition!
"Nature doesn't trade in inconsequential tragedies"
Hot damn, I needed to rewind and write that down
Yeah what a great line.
I LOVE the narrations and often enjoy just the audio to fall into sleep.
Amazing how changing the narrator gives the episode a whole different feel! I’m not complaining though. The quality of the content remains top notch! Looking forward to seeing more from Deboki!
hooray deboki!! i love the vibe of her narration, its very science-y sounding, i feel like im in high school & our teacher put on a documentary
Welcome Deboki, im happy to hear your voice!!
At the beginning of the episode I thought that Deboki was leaving complexly and was mentally prepping myself to be really sad. But learning that they're now going to be an occassional host quickly changed that sadness into joy. I love this channel and everything it represents and I'm glad to have a new voice telling some of its tales.
Its been that long? It feels like the announcement of the launch like it was last year...
Welcome to Deboki -- though I may add, her narration is slightly less dreamy and a bit faster than Hank's.
Regardless of the differences, also a welcome guide on this journey :)
Diatoms: The most chill and relaxing short documentary to fall asleep to.
I mean this as a complement.
Deboki, it's really exciting to hear your voice and learn your name after hearing your words for so long!
Wow.... Has it already been 70 episodes? It feels like only a few weeks ago that the channel launched! I've been a devoted fan since then; sometimes I'll just put on the list of all the JttM videos as a calming background to help centre myself on a rough day, and watching a new video is always an exciting, fascinating event in my week :)
Her voice is nice and shes clearly used to video presentation but she doesn’t quite capture the same image that Hank did. Hank makes it feel like we’re these gentle giants peering into a world that we shouldn’t be allowed to see. It’s almost like if hank is too loud he’ll startle the microbes and they’ll hide. I’m hopeful that either by herself or with hanks help she’ll develop a similar style too.
I imagine she’s going to be trying to develop her own style too though.
@@Flamingtaint Well, she _has_ been doing the script writing so I don't imagine her style is too different.
Hank's narration style is* almost like he's reading a bedtime story.
I find it very relaxing.
The issie I'm personally running into is that voices with a lot of treble demand my attention in such a way that, while useful if I need to be alert, is providing the opposite effort I come to this channel for. Perhaps it's not an issue for most others, but I'm curious if anyone else finds that a voice with more bass and a slower annunciation helps sooth them.
I was actually surprised to find that Hank was the narrator when I came across this channel, having started on the 5th or so video; the energy that I associated with Hank's work in the paat, with SciShow, Crash Course, and the like, was more frenzied and energetic, so I have no doubt that this wonderful madam can sync with the existing mood of narration with more practice. I just hope that they examine what attributes the existing audio had and try to capture the same qualities.
Regrettably, I'm not able to be lulled to sleep with this audio track, and the peaks in treble are tickling my ears in an uncomfortable way. I hope it's enjoyable for someone else, though! Just not my cup of tea, sorry.
She is just talking and she sounds normal omg. it shouldn't matter anyways. what matters is the information being presented, we don't need to "experience" these microbes they are literally microbes they are thoughtless biological machines, the fascinating thing about them is the information about them not the voice people put on when they talk about them. These videos aren't meant to be an asmr video for you to be lulled by, they are meant to teach you interesting information. Jeez people are so fucking annoying, they'll find anything to complain about. People just hate when women do anything I guess.
@@mako3951 this channel has became much more than just an informational channel. This place is capturing the attention by those who were never tempted by the micro universe (biology). Its more special than a documentary and borderlines art in the way the information is presented. It almost makes science seductive to those that never developed the interest
Good job Deboki!
Our universe is so complex. Even the simplest functions of the smallest life mystifies me. This will always be a source of infinite wonder. No matter the narrator.
Wait.... For all these months I've been listening to Hank Green? The Hank Green Hank Green!?
Who is hank green?
@@FAMOUS4EVER3000 Hank Green from SciShow, PBS Space, Crash Course, Vlog brother etc.
Hah, this man confuses everybody with the amount of things he does on the internet.
@@samudrajs5409 oh I've heard of pbs, that's pretty cool I didn't know that
who the eff is hank?
Deboki is such an expert, and the writing on this show is truly top notch. But! This episode felt more like a science lecture and less like the soothing meditation that I come to Microcosmos for. I am professor of mathematical physics. My life is being excited about science. I’m not looking for more exciting lectures. I come here when I run out of Bob Ross episodes.
(Granted, Hank plays so different a character here than his high-energy Sci Show persona that I didn’t recognize him until many episodes in. This is surely due to Deboki’s excellence.)
Congratulations Deboki for getting out from behind the camera to in front (in a manner of speaking). Your words (in Hank's voice) and your research on the microcosmos have always been a brilliant addition to Jame's brilliant filming and Hank's asmr tones. Looking forward to hearing your take on this ... oh, it's now. [Deboki speaks] wow!! Nicely done. So nicely done. Thanks Hank for getting her on board.
I am Proud.....that deboki has joined this team 🌺
Awesome narration, Deboki! Thank you for all the hard work you've put into this show over the years!
Thank you for always showing the name of the species that you show in your videos.
I'm a secondary teacher of biology and some time ago I took a sample from a lake to show it to my students. Sure it was filled to the brim with copepods and some diatoms, but it was my first time coming across with bacillaria paxillifer. I tried my earnest to identify it under a school 30 euro microscope to no avail. I was able to see that it had the usual diatom wall, but it's odd movement caught me completely by surprise.
I have to say that I have managed to get some students in secondary school to be attracted by microscopy, to be point where one brought a sample from a pond filled with ostracods!
Thank you
I would love to hear more about these jewels of the ocean. What a fascinating way to live live! I would love to see more about how they build these glass houses on a more granular level. Pun intended... =]
Thank you all, love this show...
Glad to have Deboki sharing the
Thanx guys, nice to see you all at the 500k sub video! Excellent work.
The microcosmos is so exciting to explore.
Fascinating and wondrous, as per usual. So lovely to hear Deboki's excitement about these amazing little geo-germs.
I kinda envy you guys for doing something you love and spreading knowledge through great videos in the process. And as for narration, both you guys do a fantastic job, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Thanks for leading us on this journey!
Thank you all for creating these fantastic insights into the microcosmos. Every video is a beautiful meditation. I really appreciate it.
Hank! Teach her how to do the asmr-esque narrator voice, please :)
Mike, Teach yourself to be appreciative of truth and facts!
Hank*
@@willemvandebeek lmao how did i mess that one up. Damn Green brothers have become a singular entity in my mind. It changes names depending on the day lol
@@nightlightabcd are you okay?
Or at the very least tell her that you're not supposed to deep throat the mic. Sigh. The gain levels on her microphone and her mouth positioning are making the sound quality TERRIBLE.
Hi, Deboki! Thanks for your contributions so far to this lovely show! You have a very nice voice and your writing style has been amazing. Glad to hear from you!
Love it! I've always enjoyed the way these episodes are written.
I was worried about the change in narrator when Hank announced it. Glad it was a baseless worry; the new narrator's voice is pleasant and clearly conveys her love of the subject!
This is such an amazing channel, It's possibly my favorite biology channel on youtube. The videos are so high quality, the topics are fresh and interesting, you just can't go wrong here.
Thank you Deboki
Hank, I watch Journey to the Microcosmos because of you.
One of the best things about this channel is the soothing, relaxing narration. While I'm sure she is a great host on a purely learning channel, her voiceover is currently too rigid and instructional. I recommend something more along the lines of the sultry voice stylings of a jazz singer (ex.: Jessica Rabbit, Hannah Gill with PMJ), or the stereotypical stoner lilt (ex. Tommy Chong, Janice from the Muppet Show)
yaaaay new narrator!!! so excited. i love diatoms so much, it's hard not to photograph only them while exploring the microcosmos
deboki you're awesome!!!! thank you for helping make all these videos along with everyone at the microcosmos team! I look forward to each one of these videos
Deboki is so cool!
I'm always happy when she visits tangent too
Really beautiful episode!! I especially loved the part about how the diatoms eventually sink, it was so poetically written
I get so into your videos I keep forgetting to like them. so, I am going go back through my history and like all of them.. love this, love all you all do and grateful for you!
Is this the finest content you have ever seen on YT? Have you noticed how inner space resembles outer space? Bless you all.
I love the diatom content. Ever since the first diatom video I've been obsessed with them!
A really admire microscopic skills of James, those videos of diatoms looks amazing
You guys make a great team. Thank you for all that you do. It's one of the best channels on youtube. I tell everyone about it.
I recently tattooed a colony of diatoms.
The original episode about diatoms has started a long love tale between me and the diatoms that lately culminated in me getting a colony of diatoms as tattoos!
It really has been quite a while since this channel started. Glad to see (or hear, I guess) a new narrator
Just love how much more laid back you both are here as compared to crash course, it's like ASMR
I Love this channel. It reminds me that I am not the only one who loves his microscope. I do not use one at work. I am not a scientist, just a science nerd. On cloudy nights when I cannot use my telescope, my microscope comes in very handy.
Welcome, Dr. C. Wonderful to hear your voice reading your writing. Great job!
Lovely to finally hear from the writer of the videos I enjoy so much 🐝
Diatoms are my favourite microorganisms by far, super pretty
Soothing and beautiful! What a combo. I love you guys.
The narration was wonderful. Looking forward to more!
I love these videos! Thank you both for all your hard work.
Amazing narration and footage. Thank you.
I love your channel so much! It is one of the best highlights of my day!
Thank you for another great episode
the scintillating, hidden world of diatoms... ✨✨✨✨
Hehe deboki sounds like the deep look narrator i love it!
Welcome Deboki! Your narration is a great addition to an already perfect work. Congratulations. Koray
Welcome to the channel, Deboki's narrating voice!
Well, hmmm - the new narrator is real good, think right now still voting for Hank. I think I really like the quiet way he speaks, sorta like we are looking over the microbes shoulder and trying not to disturb it. Am looking forward do the crash course organic chemistry however, think this narrator is probably just really good at that.
Incredible images.
Incredible plot.
Incredible narrators.
Welcome Dr. Chakravarti! I really enjoyed the video, looking forward to more. I'd be willing to bet that a background track that's heavier on baritone and bass would complement your voice even better, if that's an option. Thank you for stepping up to the mic!
This series needs to release its sound track
Hank seems like a great boss, always giving others opportunities to grow! The new hosts here and elsewhere are fantastic!
this was a really nice change! Dr. Chakravarti is a lovely narrator
Awesome episode! Excited to hear more of Deboki!
Wonderful & informative, but one of the few times I've really wanted James to have access to electron microscopy. So much of the details of Diatom's constructions are just too small for optics.
I can only imagine what we'd be able to engineer if we could learn how Diatoms build their frustules.
(I have to admit I miss the ASMR of Hank's dulcet tones)
I got a quote for a tabletop SEM just today! 😉
@@JamsGerms
(Googles Desktop Scanning Electron Microscopes)
Oooooh, pretty! Such exquisite engineering in a remarkably small package.
Of course, it's kismet - now you've got to get one. 😁 And I've the perfect organism for your first set of images.
This channel is amazing! Thank you so much!
'Nature doesn't trade in inconsequential tragedies' What a line
Love the show, Thank you so much
Youve done a great job with your scripts! And i love your voice!, im sitting here trying to picture your face by uour voice, but i know itll be wrong lol
Yay! I love every time we get to hear Deboki!
"Nature doesn't trade in inconsequential tragedies"
Damn well said
Best channel of all time
My favourite forever
I love yall thank you for your wild work
This is so amazing
I love this channel, thank you so much for your work!
OK.......that was even more beautiful than your usual stunning content. Thank you all.
Dr. Deboki! Thank you so much for your knowledge and research that you have provided for this show--
I am glad you are get to read your own research 🧐 you have provided me with so much intrigue -!!!
I love this channel, because it is not as uppity as the other channels and just as knowledge packed.
Hank narrated with his mouth a little too close to the microphone, and maybe he is trying to lul me to relaxation with microbes. I luv it. ASMR with Microbes.
Welcome to the stage, Deboki! Thanks for all the script writing you've done up until this point.
Oh no! Sleepy microbes are not so sleepy this time :(
Great content anyway and it's cool that you are trying something new, but I loved the bedtime story feeling that Hank made.
Deboki did a wonderful job narrating however, Hank is the reason I started watching this channel and I hope to hear him narrating still. Hank, I would be willing to guess you have probably heard this before but when I listen to you narrate your videos it is very reminiscent of Carl Sagan who I very much enjoy listening to. Your timing and enunciation is on point!
I come here for hank's lovely voice.. I don't think I want to watch without him.
The shell is shape by how the diatom reacts to the surrounding electric charges and it's movement through the electric field. Great video by the way! very informative.
Hank's voice is ethereal and mysterious, which is great; but Deboki's one is warm and welcoming, and I think it is overwhelmingly nice.
Mmm I'm afraid I strongly disagree... With all my respect to Deboki, I found her narration monotonous, purely informational, and even the content was a bit excessive: too much information. In contrast, Hank transmits a wondrous feeling like in no other TH-cam science channel. His narration is truly unique and I'd be very sad if he stopped doing it.
Loving the video layout, and the additional info about you all. But being new, chapters would be cool. Then as the new commer, I can jump forward to the info - to see if you're my kinda educational video.
FYI, so far it's a 'oh yeah'. Nice VO handover, pics and info so far. 😊
That's my favorite episode!
