I always struggled with the principle of Eukaryotic cells through biology class at school. This is by far the best explanation I've come across. Kudos!
I love the change in his voice. On other channels Hank is energised, fast talking and enthousiastic. It fits the content of that material, but here his voice is almost therapeutic. And then there is the psycodelic music to it. Keep them videos coming guys!
Damn I'd love to learn more about bacteriophage. I wonder if I can culture some out of my own drain pipe as they do in Georgia. All jokes aside it seems like great research
So nice. I already knew the most of information in that video, but visual part of the video, combined with voice and music, is wonderful enough to be watched.
I can't express enough gratitude to you guys responsible for making this channel! After learning about our bodies' mechanisms at the celular level in my university I became really interested in and amazed at these subjects, so to have all this beautiful imagery and information so easily accessible on youtube is a great pleasure to me. This channel has instantly become my favorite along with PBS Eons. Keep up the good work! Love from Brazil.
Andrew Huang is a genius of electronic music. The first of these videos that I watched I spent half of it wondering why it sounded so good, then I saw his name in the credits and was immediately just like "oh, now it all makes sense".
You know what's kind of beautiful about this. Is that we've often attributed the origin of complex life to the evolution of predation. And no one can argue the role predation played in accelerating the process. But it sound here that what in fact really got the ball rolling when it comes to complex cells. Was an act of mercy. Perhaps the very first one. It was probably not selfless and certainly not emotional but still .. nice.
same here. this combined with learning about our biomolecular nanomachinary and the intracellular skeletal filaments and suddenly my mind is extrapolating the many possibilities.
If you live near a university, it might be worth checking if they sell their old equipment. Many amateur microscopes you can buy now have similar quality to 30-40 year old research microscopes. And the scientists find them sorta useless for research purposes, so they throw them away or give them to whoever wants them.
I love that you guys made this video! When people talk about endosymbiosis, they almost always talk about it as freak events happening in the distant past, which makes it seem sort of speculative. In actual fact, cells living symbiotically inside other cells is incredibly common.
found this channel two months ago and now my bio lab makes me watch it for homework. Not the first time the TH-camrs I watch have been used for school and won't be the last.
Prokaryotic turning Eukaryotic is likely not just a great leap for life on Earth, but a likely huge barrier for life on other worlds ( if it exists). A great filter for the Fermi paradox.
There might be life forms not based on carbon, or on DNA. They might've had a different evolution from what life had on Earth and might have not get through a prokaryotic to eukaryotic cells step. They would have had their own filters and unlikely leaps though.
Well hang on, you're assuming it's the same as with us, I mean if life forms under Ice and near volcanoes u won't have much sunlight, and maybe places are anaerobic, so it's not like our membrane bound organelles
"And blood-black nothingness began to spin. A system of cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within one stem. And dreadfully distinct against the dark, a tall white fountain played."
Hank, I love this entire channel. I’m so happy I discovered this as my pandemic time, labless, zoom lecture microbiology summer semester just started last week (my last nursing school prerequisite, happy dance!). You’ve helped me through so much of my nursing sciences journey via crash course, thank you! My brain assimilates new info macro to micro so your Sean Shannon-esque “cliffs notes” presentations were super helpful to pair with lecture. I stumbled upon this channel by happenstance the other night, and I’m so glad I did. I have to say, your calm voice (in my humble opinion) is perfect, and the microcinematogrophy in these episodes is absolutely amazing, elegant, and mesmerizing. This channel is my new “It’s after midnight-my brain is fried from studying-I’m too tired to do real schoolwork-but I need to input all the things” bedtime story. Thank you so much for all you do 🙏🏼❤️
This is my new favorite science channel. Seriously. The videos are stunning, and Hank's narration coupled with the music is just the calm we need in this crazy, messed up world! Also, really fascinating! Who knew so much went on in a water drop?
Can I just say that you have the found the most absolute perfect music for these videos. It is just that, perfect. It fits the tone, the style, the subject matter and everything so incredibly well. God there's so much love in these videos I can feel it and they consume me.
Just a little comment that idk if anyone else points out but the utter quality of these videos is so amazing and I want to thank you so much. Even something like the sound design is so thought out and detailed. It really adds to the experience
In evolutionary biology lectures my professor gave the argument of genetic transfer to the host's nucleus as a differentiation of a seperate endosymbiont and an organelle. Basically we have observed that mitochondrial and plastid genomes are far smaller than those of their free living ancestors since many of their genes have either become redundant and subsequently lost or transferred to the host genome. We can also observe this tenedency in the genus Paulinella who also aquired photosynthetic endosymbionts, and have undergone some, but not nearly as much genomic reduction as Mitochondria and Chloroplasts.
Love the show. Keep it coming! The scientific accuracy and ability to make myself question my own existentialism is simply brilliant! Well done indeed!
I hope this is shown in classrooms. A big problem I had in highschool was that the people/videos narrating in a very boring manner. They already knew and were required to inform us. Hank sounds so excited about what he is sharing that it makes me so excited to listen to these.
Loving this channel so much! Thank you for the content. Appreciate the magnification info, but is there anyway to include a scale in microns or some other unit for us micro nerds out there?

And the scientists find them sorta useless for research purposes, so they throw them away or give them to whoever wants them.
After some research, you can get a decent one for around $250. Do a bit of research, though. $350 nets you one with a camera.
