I thought this would make me the scientist. I should have known that the thing that slides out of the petri dish never gets to speak for itself. I know there’s no happy ending, but I thought maybe this video could bring me better results. However, I’d have needed a stronger hypothesis. And I didn’t know what I was doing, or really why. I just had to do it. And maybe it will still yield a meaningful finding, but before that I have to live through this feeling of being the thing under the microscope and everybody taking a look, saying my Latin name, guessing at my taxonomy.
