“We also get a ton of questions about how to identify microbes. We've made an episode about just this very thing, but the crux of that whole discussion is that... it's really a thing build on a lot of internet sleuthing and practice. But with that said, our very own James Weiss will be publishing a book next year called "The Hidden Beuty of the Microscopic World" to be published by Penguin Random House, which will be a picture heavy book that might help you with your identification needs. Which is very exciting! Congratulations James!“

“Of course, microscopes are only on part of the microcosmos experience--the other big thing are the microbes that you're gonna look at with them. And we've gotten a few questions about how to best take care of our invisible friends for the long term. The key is to try to get samples that are on the larger size. Having a larger sample will make any environmental changes happen slower. It's like the difference between leaving a bottle of water out in the sun versus a whole pool of water: the bottle will get warmer faster.”
