    Microorganisms shown from sneeze by a scientist

    I'm a microbiologist who wanted to show the importance of covering your mouth properly - using a tissue to cover your mouth and nose, or into your elbow, turned away from others. In this clip I sneezed onto an agar plate, which is a jello-like substance used in microbiology labs to grow bacteria. And within 24 hours you can see the thousands of bacterial colonies growing on the plate. This is what people spread when they sneeze!

    This is a timelapse of the brine shrimp lifecycle. These were collected as cysts (eggs) from the Great Salt Lake in Utah, and they took about 5 weeks to reach adulthood.

    This microbe is called a stentor. In this clip, it contracts about 10 seconds in. It does this to protect itself. I got it to contract like this by tapping the microscope with a pencil.

    Filmer uses microscope to see microscopic creatures Part 1

    This is a microscopic creature called a ciliate, and it is trying to eat a diatom (a type of single-celled algae) longer than its body. It struggles and then spits it out.
