Hey your blog is really funny and cool keep up the good work!

P.s. I showed my science teacher your blog, now she loves your blog.

You showed it to your science teacher?!? I'm honored, truly. Thank you <3

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that your blog will pop up on my feed occasionally, and it always makes me happy to know that someone out there is taking the time to put microbes in hats. This blog is genius

I appreciate you! I do need to get back into being more consistent though lol. ADHD moment

Could you do bacillus anthracis in a burger king crown?

I know I've considered anthrax before, but haven't because all the image options kinda suck. But for you, dear follower, I will do it.

Diatom with those silly fakes glasses with the spring eyeballs

Ooh that's a good one. Again comes dangerously close to "does this count as a hat"...... buuut who cares I make the rules.

You should put parakaryon myojinensis in a hat. Maybe a detective hat and magnifying glass, since the creature is a bit of a mystery

Can do!

Sorry for the lack of hat-related microbial activity lately. Between work, school, and executive dysfunction purgatory, I haven't felt up to working on making posts. Might try and get back on track next week, but this week I've got a lot on my plate. No promises, though.

my friend wants to know if you can do/have done euplotes?

I don't think so! If you have any specific requests, I can do those, otherwise just I'll pick one that I find! (Probably whatever one I can find the best image of.)

And if you've got any hat requests, you can send that in as well.

Candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator

The species name of this bacterium contains the Latin phrase Candidatus (candidate) due to the fact that the species record has not been published in a taxonomically valid manner. It is not associated with any family, order, or class, but is included as a candidate under the phylum Firmicutes.

Candidatus D. audaxviator is a unique species, isolated from the Earth's surface for millions of years and a loner in its ecosystem. These bacteria do not need sunlight or chemical energy for their food or metabolic processes, instead subsisting on radioactive energy for their needs. They are able to fix their own nitrogen and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen.

The species name, audaxviator, is taken from Jules Verne’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” and means “descend, bold traveler, and attain the center of the Earth.” Photo credit: NASA (public domain)

Keep up with the good stuff! Hope this semester is not too hard for you. College can be a lot

Thank you! Though I'll admit my inactivity in the past couple weeks has been pure laziness, really. The semester did just start this week, and I'm finally having to take calculus and I'm scared lol. Last semester until I finally get my darn Associate's after five years. (My excuses being working part-time and not knowing what I wanted to study for the first half lmao.)

Then I get to go to a four-year and dive into more chemistry and microbiology!

it would be so cool if you did e. coli in a jason mask (my friend brought this up. doesn’t have to be e. coli tho :P)

or if you did a microbe with the markiplier pink mustache :DDDDD

I've definitely done E. coli before, but I'll absolutely take the hat suggestions! I'm always in need of those.
