So do you wanna set the stage for listeners and viewers?

Uh, sure.

So, um, you know, so, uh, uh, people who work with microbes, um, the ones that we can culture and plate on the lab, are very familiar with the image on, uh, figure one, which looks like a colony.

It's a, it's a close-up of a colony.

It's a very familiar, uh... very, very, very familiar.

It's the kind of thing you wanna see most of the time when you're interested in growing something and, and growing it on a plate.

And since there are really so many microbiologists in the world, this is probably one of the most common biology sort of images that you will, that you will have, because there's just a, a bajillion microbiologists.

Mm-hmm
