It's like a maze for my nanomice! #nanocosmos https://t.co/0pT0PVREjL

@jondrori Geeks are Kings of the Nanocosmos, friend!

Did you know? #Pollen is so distinctive that it can be used as forensic evidence. Learn more from @jondrori https://t.co/aDMKbjhPAI

It's #spring, comrades! And that means pollen. Tons and tons of pollen.

An excellent moving picture of the nanocosmos in action. Great work, comrades! 🔬 https://t.co/VPNiXo06U2

We of the Committee want to thank you for your patience and your input. To the nanocosmos!

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

🚨Update from the Department of Nanoscale Exploration🚨

Due to low ratings on the expedition thus far, the Committee has decided to reformat the broadcast.

Captain Banks may be a goofball and slow learner, but we of the Committee are not.

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

Key learnings thus far that will influence the new direction:
1) Twitter is not suited for a narrative format.
2) Compelling visuals are more valuable than narrative.
3) Capt Banks should tap into his strengths, which include micro photography and nanoscale simulation.

@RNASociety @KateAdamala I may be biased, but it should be Nanocosmos Day!

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

@cupandcone You could always come join me in the NANOCOSMOS, Patrick. Behold, the spinneret of a spider! 🔬

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

@jhardin925 On behalf of the U.S. Department of Nanoscale Exploration and the NANOCOSMOS, I salute you Nanocomrade Hardin! 🔬

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

It's a very NANOCOSMIC day, folks: #DNADay2018!

And not to steal DNA's thunder, but today is also KING of the NANOCOSMOS K. Eric Drexler's birthday! 🎈🎈🎈

Drexler's science writing has inspired generations of NANOCOSMONAUTS like myself. 🔬

Happy bday Drexler & happy #DNADay!

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

@real_shackleton When you swing at Drexler, you swing at the NANOCOSMONAUT!

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

@happybdauthors HBD Drexler!

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

@BUGSSlab Great work, comrades. Together, we will bring the NANOCOSMOS to the people! 🔬🤩

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

@smartereveryday Don't sweat it, Destin. Compared to the NANOCOSMOS, nothing is that big of a deal. Thank you for your service!

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

Hoping one day everyone will get a chance to explore the inside of these cells and the NANOCOSMOS.

Alright, just assembled my handy dandy CARBON NANOTUBE! I'll use this as a scaffold to climb down into the NANOCOSMOS!

No vapor winds can stop the NANOCOSMONAUT!

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

Looks like we overshot our calculations, Nelson. The pressure release just shot me 10 microns into the air! Gonna feel that one tomorrow....

Time for the backup plan. Nelson, send me some CARBON RINGS, and set my scale to 1 NANOMETER!

[Capt Banks, Nanocosmonaut 🔬 @nanocosmic]

LOG220424-1

Alrighty, Nelson, it's time! Put your cell phone down!

On the count of three, drop the humidity. That should crank up the hydrostatic differential, cracking open this GATEWAY TO THE NANOCOSMOS! 🤩

One... two.... THR-
