As a microwave repair man, yes, you 100% need to clean your microwave. The leftover food will change the way it works, eventually burning up the heating element or burning holes in the inside shielding.
Also, microwaves don't kill small things. You can put a ton of fruit flies in a microwave, turn it on and they are fine. Only things that are somewhat electrically conductive and larger (or many small things touching each other) get hot.
@@thorwaldjohanson2526 This is why I was a little confused, since ants and flies don't die to microwave due to their small surface area, how can a microbe?

The man speaks the truth. Our "zombie" movies nowadays are really just extreme outbreaks of a mutated rabies. A zombie originally was something that was mindless in the sense that it could be controlled, as a slave, by the person who reanimated it. The first 'modern' zombie movie was Night of the Living Dead but that film never said the word zombie once. People later on for some genuinely unknown reason started calling the monsters in it zombies years after it was released. Something like 28 Days Later is just turbo rabies.
But rabies doesn't do the kind of stuff to a person that lots of zombie viruses do to people in these fictional pieces of media. How is something like The Last Of Us fungus infection similar to rabies besides make a person "crazy"?
Yeah except the zombies never attack each other like they would if they were rabid. But considering all the ways parasites can affect behavior, it's definitely plausible enough for a movie. Probably not in real life though.
Of course you are right. We all know which end of the pin is head, yet we let some fast-talking microbiologist snow us. I was raised Catholic, so I know how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. How many microbes, I defer to Dan Buckley. If he can figure out which end is the head.
About Ophiocordiceps, the "zombifying" fungus: In studying infected ants, scientists found out that the fungi cells actually grow in the muscle tissue, NOT the brain. They control the motoric system. Applying that to humans would mean you were completely lucid about what is going on, yet unable to control your movements. Like you would have to consciously watch yourself predate on your loved ones, eat human flesh while being mentally horrified by it.
That C Diff is no joke. My potassium got to 1.6 (3.5 is low) and I couldn't walk. 4 days in ICU. I lost 5 stone over the next 2 years and got a 2.4 potassium level with partial liver failure indicated by ascites on the second round. Over a year now and all is good. Gaining weight and no ascites (they waited 6 months to give me a paracentesis for some reason),. The intrusion of the ascites through my diaphragm into my chest cavity wasn't good enough for them to give me a paracentesis, which is recommended by the NIH for all new cases of ascites. I got a hernia 6 months later as the ascites penetrated my abdomen. Then the emergency room doctor recommended a paracentesis which cured the ascites.
Antibiotic resistance is the reason you should always finish your antibiotics even if you feel fine, if you stop early there may be survivors that will eventually get resistance. That's partially the reason why there are hospital superbugs that are highly resistant to most or all of our known antibiotics.
There's also way too many people who think antibiotics are a panacea for any given illness, and way too many doctors who will prescribe antibiotics to any patient who asks for them. I'm not sure why there's such a lack of knowledge out there about when antibiotic treatment is appropriate, it seems pretty black and white to me.
Shame no one brought up cable bacteria. They do "group respiration" where they share the responsibility of electron exchange using long strings of them lined up where the ones higher in the soil have access to oxygen or sulfur to do the electron exchange for respiration. It's kind of a unique thing and a relatively new discovery. It's one of those that makes mud stink.
Awesome comment ! You just sent me down a rabbit hole. I've been really interested in the symbiotic nature of lichen recently and this is totally scratching that same itch 😊
As a doctor, the combination of avian flu and human influenza is scary asf. You can't control it, and the spread is freakishly hard to stop since it can spread through droplets or can be carried by migratory birds.
As another doctor living in another part of the world, I'm glad you cured diseases like TB. We have XDR TB problems here. So for us your concerns are ACADEMIC and if we were where you are, we'd be happy.
@@peterc4082 Idk if we can call TB cured. Yes there are antibiotics available which can treat it, but you need to take a cocktail of these for about a year to fully remove the infection. Considering the rate at which antibiotic resistance is advancing, how many years do we have before we can no longer treat TB? A couple decades at best, is my guess. We need to focus more on prevention-based methods for combating this terrible disease.

For those still wondering, the size of the average pin head is roughly 2,000 microns. Using his reference of 2 microns per microbe, roughly 1,000 can fit presumably
Microwaves don’t operate on heat, nor do they “get hot”. But MORE importantly, your microwave does NOT distribute its radiation evenly inside. It has beams that point and shoot in very specific directions inside. Some areas inside get very little radiation exposure. It’s primarily focused straight at the center. That’s why most microwaves have a turnstile inside.
This is maybe the best of these that I've seen, this guy is great! I was hoping someone would ask about the deep-drill-core bacteria living in solid rock---wasn't there a recent finding that >1 km underground there are still very-slow-metabolism, 1000s of years old bacteria that speed up when we add water and food? And that their density in the crust implies that **most** biomass on Earth is these microbes?
Pyrococcus Furiosus. Now that is such a badass name I haven't heard in a while for a microbe. Also, if I'm understanding this correctly, is he eluding to Tardigrades basically pulling off Suspended Animation to survive those extreme conditions?.
Yep, that's exactly it. There's some lichens and other things that can pull it off too. Some viruses are pretty immortal too but it's easier to survive when you're such a simple organism you barely qualify as 'life'.
Ive studied Micriobiology for my bachelors, and eventhough I knew the answer to lots of the questions, still the responses made by him were extremelly interesting! Thank you so much!

For aging the edges of pages realistically I've had a lot of success by (with the book firmly closed) dampening the edges of the pages then going over them with a stiff wire brush.

Seriously you need to consult a clinical psychologist. There might have been things going on in your spirituality. You have to find them out with the help of a professional.
If you are concerned about your attention, I recommend talking to a professional for treatment or a diagnosis!! For some advice or just general conversation, comments like these are fine :^] Both places are giving information!! It's just a different type!! I have autism and a bunch of other conditions that can affect attention!! While it is true that this video is a lot of information at once and thus could affect your knowledge retention and attention, try and think of other things that could affect your attention too!! Like, are you tired or hungry?? Have you slept well lately?? Or how is your mental and emotional state!! Just because you can't pay attention doesn't mean you have ADD, autism, or ADHD!! It could be something else or it could actually be ADD or ADHD!! please talk to a doctor for a diagnosis and listen to others for some advice or a sense of community :3c
@Birdman-z6o He wasn’t specifically referring to this video but was instead discussing the broader difficulties he faces when required to learn new things. His comments suggest that he may struggle with mental stability, which could be affecting his ability to process or adapt to new information. This ongoing issue seems to hinder his capacity to engage with new concepts or tasks, potentially indicating a deeper cognitive or emotional challenge. Therefore, it is suggested that he consult a professional. However, this does not imply that he is mad or insane.
As someone who studies microbiology, it's actually an fascinating world but it's complicated at the same time. I am amused how much I have learned in class and watching this video made me understand why we need to learn and understand microbiology. I pray I could finish this course for this semester with flying colors🥹
Thanks. Your comment just led me to a search that crushed my childhood belief (that never had reason to be challenged) that Suzanne Somers and Mark Summers were married. Starting with the realization that it was Mark SUMMERS not SOMERS.
You might have wanted to consult with an infectious disease microbiologist on some of these questions since you said you're a soil microbiologist. About the subway pole hygiene question, a lot of healthy people are MRSA carriers so there's actually a decent chance there's MRSA on that subway pole.
Hello. Can your talk about quorum sensing? For some reason I believed that when bacterium enter the body they “count,” or sense the amount of immunity/immune cells we have & that if there are more of “us,” then they become dormant/fall asleep so they’re undetectable to our immune system…. & that when our immunity depletes the bacterium will become opportunistic & attack/invade or make more of itself. Thank you…
Mr. Buckley thank you for this wonderfully informative and interesting ... and FUN video!!! I remember a friend (also a microbiologist ) who told me alot of this years ago but I loved seeing the examples and found your presentation fascinating ... Thank you again!!😝👍

As a microbiology student, I have to correct the answer at 2:46 saying that the amount of microbial cell in a body is the same as the amount of human cell in our bodies : as cited in "20 Things you Didn’t Know About the Human gut Microbiome" doi: 10.1097/JCN.0000000000000166 , "There are 10x the number of microbial cells in the human gut than in the whole human body, totaling roughly 100 trillion microbes representing as many as 5,000 different species and weighing approximately 2 kilograms." I just find this fact so interesting and wanted to share it :))
another thing you didn´t want to know: a swimming pool with chlorine in it does not smell like the typical swimming pool unless you pee into it. WHat you smell is the result of chlorine reacting with urea.

This cat’s actual Egon haircut is an inspiration. He realized that he literally did collect molds, bacteria and fungi and knew what he had to do
02:27 the head of a pin is the non-pointy end of a pin (the fat, blunt end), but I don't expect a microbiologist to be an expert in needlework
The head of a pin is the other end. LOL That was the tip.
Thanks. I was beginning to doubt myself. 😅
Microwaves don’t operate on heat, nor do they “get hot”. But MORE importantly, your microwave does NOT distribute its radiation evenly inside. It has beams that point and shoot in very specific directions inside. Some areas inside get very little radiation exposure. It’s primarily focused straight at the center. That’s why most microwaves have a turnstile inside.
This is maybe the best of these that I've seen, this guy is great!
I was hoping someone would ask about the deep-drill-core bacteria living in solid rock---wasn't there a recent finding that >1 km underground there are still very-slow-metabolism, 1000s of years old bacteria that speed up when we add water and food? And that their density in the crust implies that **most** biomass on Earth is these microbes?
Yes!!!!
[Beep]....your english is so clear to my spanish ears.....so easy to undestand you saying complex themes.
"How many microbes could dance on the head of a pin?" 😂 I understood that reference.
So did I, and it surprises me to see such few comments commenting on it.
MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
How dare you!
Pyrococcus Furiosus. Now that is such a badass name I haven't heard in a while for a microbe.
Also, if I'm understanding this correctly, is he eluding to Tardigrades basically pulling off Suspended Animation to survive those extreme conditions?.
Yep, that's exactly it. There's some lichens and other things that can pull it off too. Some viruses are pretty immortal too but it's easier to survive when you're such a simple organism you barely qualify as 'life'.
Why do I picture Professor Snape using this phrase?
@@margotchurchill5593 With this trademark "Word Emphasis" style of speaking too I would assume 😂
This guy manifested when Hank Green decided he was never gonna give you up.
12:05 A little bit of Christoper Walken there on that "thrive". xD
2:36 He's talking about the point of the pin. The head of the pin is the other end.
THANK YOU!!!!
Oh good, now I don't have to be the one to point this out. ;-)
Ive studied Micriobiology for my bachelors, and eventhough I knew the answer to lots of the questions, still the responses made by him were extremelly interesting! Thank you so much!
Amazing video! Dr. Buckley and Hank Green sound so similar! I thought this was Hank at first before I saw it wasn't him haha
13:29 The auto translate changed Eukaryote Cells to Karate Cells, and I love that.
The head of a pin: The small metal or plastic part at the top of a pin. The surface area of a straight pin's head is about one square millimeter.
So about 1000 bacteria on the head of a pin.
So 1000
Really interesting and important information that I wish people were less resistant to. Also Mr.Buckley's punch perm is amazing
Microbes move in a similar way to how ChatGPT forms sentences.
By using cloud data and statistics?
I was a cleaner in several dental practices and first thing i did was stick a bowl of hot water into the microwave and zap it for fifteen minutes to steam soften the baked on egg, spaghetti sauce baked potato etc
There was always a three course meal present!
Microbiologist here. Entertaining and informative, but it really makes my head explode to see the random lab glassware filled with water and food coloring. Walt Disney science props.
stool samples would be more realistic
Dw... I saw the "hacker" one and it was the same thing. It helps the normies relate
It’s not that deep
@@Jump-n-smashpiss, stool, spit, and blood...
They did dig out a binocular microscope for him. And he brought lots of good visuals to balance out the good old food coloring and Erlenmeyer.
For aging the edges of pages realistically I've had a lot of success by (with the book firmly closed) dampening the edges of the pages then going over them with a stiff wire brush. For an even more antique finish a blend of tea and coffee can be used, going darker for older, again painting the edges with the book closed and going over
with a stiff wire brush while damp.
Does he remind anyone else of Hank Green?
Yeah, a bit LOL
Knew I couldn't be the only one who flagged this - I'd love to see them collab 😂
yeah like the 80's version of Hank Green that's a complement btw (I think) anyway the hairstyle looks great on him
I was thinking Biff + Hank Green
Another commenter noted the striking similarities to a one Rick Astley
for the record, brain eating amoeba infections are lethal in 97% of cases. They are actually a fairly common micro organism as well. There have been cases as far north as Minnesota and they have some very harsh winters. You can bet that lakes and soil in your state have it.
Yeah, but it'd have to actually get to your brain, not just on your skin.
@@jerricabursik3284 But that's not _that_ difficult. All it takes is for your head to be fully submerged at some point when swimming. Or to get a little water up your nose, which can easily happen when jumping into water. Both actions are common when swimming for leisure.
i like it when a microbiologist isn't afraid to have a dirty mouth
finna get dem fuckin microbes yo
This guy is definitely Hank and John Green coded
This was fascinating!
13:50 Viewer: "I just learned like 10 seconds ago that there are magnetic bacteria!" Me: :O "I just learned like 0 seconds ago that there are magnetic bacteria!"
Bro, I am listening and literally dont take my eyes or ears off the videos and i dont remember not a single thing. This happens with everythingwhen i comes to learning stuff no matter the topic.
Seriously you need to consult a clinical psychologist. There might have been things going on in your spirituality. You have to find them out with the help of a professional.
ADD, maybe? You may want to consult a psychiatrist for evaluation and treatment.
If you are concerned about your attention, I recommend talking to a professional for treatment or a diagnosis!! For some advice or just general conversation, comments like these are fine :^] Both places are giving information!! It's just a different type!!
I have autism and a bunch of other conditions that can affect attention!! While it is true that this video is a lot of information at once and thus could affect your knowledge retention and attention, try and think of other things that could affect your attention too!! Like, are you tired or hungry?? Have you slept well lately?? Or how is your mental and emotional state!! Just because you can't pay attention doesn't mean you have ADD, autism, or ADHD!! It could be something else or it could actually be ADD or ADHD!! please talk to a doctor for a diagnosis and listen to others for some advice or a sense of community :3c
@Birdman-z6o He wasn’t specifically referring to this video but was instead discussing the broader difficulties he faces when required to learn new things. His comments suggest that he may struggle with mental stability, which could be affecting his ability to process or adapt to new information. This ongoing issue seems to hinder his capacity to engage with new concepts or tasks, potentially indicating a deeper cognitive or emotional challenge. Therefore, it is suggested that he consult a professional. However, this does not imply that he is mad or insane.
did u just say something
As someone who studies microbiology, it's actually an fascinating world but it's complicated at the same time. I am amused how much I have learned in class and watching this video made me understand why we need to learn and understand microbiology.
I pray I could finish this course for this semester with flying colors🥹
You know he's the real deal cus he handles the culture plates with his bare hands
I love these interviews in general.
But this has been one of the most interesting.
I'm glad to see that Marc Summers's son is so successful.
That his kid?!
@@gachawolfpaw1783 It was a joke, friend :) the resemblance is wild.
THANK YOU! I was like "How can a modern man look so genetically 1990s?"
Thanks. Your comment just led me to a search that crushed my childhood belief (that never had reason to be challenged) that Suzanne Somers and Mark Summers were married. Starting with the realization that it was Mark SUMMERS not SOMERS.
You might have wanted to consult with an infectious disease microbiologist on some of these questions since you said you're a soil microbiologist. About the subway pole hygiene question, a lot of healthy people are MRSA carriers so there's actually a decent chance there's MRSA on that subway pole.
Great. Now I can say
"I just love the smell of streptomyces after it rains"
Hello. Can your talk about quorum sensing? For some reason I believed that when bacterium enter the body they “count,” or sense the amount of immunity/immune cells we have & that if there are more of “us,” then they become dormant/fall asleep so they’re undetectable to our immune system…. & that when our immunity depletes the bacterium will become opportunistic & attack/invade or make more of itself.
Thank you…
Mr. Buckley thank you for this wonderfully informative and interesting ... and FUN video!!! I remember a friend (also a microbiologist ) who told me alot of this years ago but I loved seeing the examples and found your presentation fascinating ... Thank you again!!😝👍
This is the most informative and interesting one that I've seen.
Mitochondria the power house of a cell 🥸
Love to see him again - thank you for all of the information 😊
close enough, welcome back Hank Green!
Dr Dan is brilliant 🔥 explains so clearly and so well 🙏 appreciated!
Not related to the topic but he's rocking that 80's hairstyle looks great on him
Reminds me of a young Paul Reiser, particularly his appearance in Aliens.
Thank you so much! That was extremely interesting and informative! You’re so packed with information I hope you will write a book, because all this information is just too much for my brain to comprehend 🤯 in one sitting! Let us know when your book comes out! 😉👍🥳🥳🥳🌷
Wasn't the 1918 flu pandemic a swine flu not avian? Also respect for not calling it the Spanish Flu. I really hate that misnomer!
That was super interesting. Most of was the very last, the cause of the "fresh rain" smell. I always wondered about that phenomenon.
This Dude looks and sounds like the wholesome family dad in a 1950's PSA about nutrition or hygiene.
As a biology student I really love this video and I'm a little proud of how many questions I also could have answered myself
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek would have loved this video. I sure did
🥰🥰
As a microbiology student, I have to correct the answer at 2:46 saying that the amount of microbial cell in a body is the same as the amount of human cell in our bodies : as cited in "20 Things you Didn’t Know About the Human gut Microbiome" doi: 10.1097/JCN.0000000000000166 , "There are 10x the number of microbial cells in the human gut than in the whole human body, totaling roughly 100 trillion microbes representing as many as 5,000 different species and weighing approximately 2 kilograms." I just find this fact so interesting and wanted to share it :))
That statistic was actually debunked
when one of these bad boys pops up on tuesday i'm a happy camper
amazing info, very educational and good presented, well done!
Yay another video for me to learn about stuff I was okay NOT knowing! 🙃
another thing you didn´t want to know: a swimming pool with chlorine in it does not smell like the typical swimming pool unless you pee into it. WHat you smell is the result of chlorine reacting with urea.
Pyrococcus furiosus... Sounds like a new villain on Mad Max.
Or a Harry Potter spell!
