It's 5 am and I kind of understood this. That is some impressive explaining you did.
That's a success metric I'm happy to get behind ;)
same here. same time of the day. what that also teaches me is that should probably get a life...
This is my favorite of the four types of episodes. So useful. I have two BAs and have worked at NASA, and I still appreciate the scientific literature being denatured into a digestable form. You could make a whole channel just of this type of video.
I love it when scientists properly critique their own findings.
Cheers for taking on a paper with such a daunting title for your first De-Natured segment! As an ecologist, I always find molecular biology papers dense and jargon-heavy. That's not to say ecology papers don't ever include jargon, but I would like to think many of them are a simpler read. I especially appreciate your criticism section - SO important for us to constantly turn the lens back on ourselves!
(I'm sure you've already noticed it, but I hope you get your green screen figured out.)
I have all the complaints in the world about jargon-heavy papers, but as an aspiring researcher, I have to ask. How are you sure that the ecology papers are not also jargon-heavy and you are just familiarized with the concepts?
That's a great question! I feel pretty comfortable with my assessment because of my "pre-science" background: I started out life with dual majors in English literature and environmental education. This means that I didn't start out with any "formal" science training, but I did spend a lot of time learning about what makes good writing. I will never profess to be an expert, of course, but I think my different perspective is important, especially in my home lab.
The Roving Naturalist Thank you for sharing that you also sometimes dont understand biology jargen. It makes me feel better about not understanding it. Not to say that we're at the same level. You're, legit, probably way smarter than I am. Its comforting to hear that really smart people also sometimes dont understand some things. I love all all her segments but especially this one and the etymology one
I wouldn't worry about the jargon - many more scientists are learning how to make what they do accessible to other people. That being said, it's still nice to find a broad community of science communicators who present information like this!
As far as "smarts" go, I definitely do not always feel smart. In grad school, my days are filled with questions I have to find the answer for, so I always feel like I'm trying to play catch-up. It's much less about being smart and much more about doing the work to find the answers to the questions you have :)
Love this series! Well done for breaking down some very complicated research! Keep up the great work.
As someone who has read sooo many scientific papers in college, you did an awesome job of explaining this article!!! It was broken in a way that was easy to understand without completely losing the more complex aspects. Looking forward to more episodes!!
I have to say that I'm excited to see what is in store for this channel. I REALLY like this segment. De-Natured is a fantastic idea and would love for this to continue through any changes you decide to make to the channel. Wonderful job!
I think I just found something good with this channel...
This is my favorite segment you have. Currently, I see studies portrayed with either daunting academic titles or misleading click-bait headlines. This is a great happy medium. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. About time people looking at it seriously again. Metabolism first is the start so get on it. You humans have a lot of catching up to do.
I love this! I would especially love to see some neuroscience articles broken down this way, since I am studying that subject right now. :)
Well that was fascinating! 👌
Wish this had been around back between 2000-2007 when I was at Uni! Thanks Brit
This was really well done. Thanks a lot :)
I appologize for just now gettig to watch this. School has been so hectic it hasn't let me watch much of your videos. :'C
Thanks for the breakdown!
I thing this is my favorite segments that she does. I dont understand big words. I become annoyed at mu self and uninterested by things I dont understand. I love how she broke this article down. It was so cool and i love how honest the authors were. I love learning about how everything may have started.....even origins of bugs. I dont want to say I hate bugs, but I am afraid and get the chills even seeing a bug on screen lol. But they are still cool. Wow tgis was a really long comment! Lol
I love it
i call this the bar special. so, if you go to a bar (or a restaurant or a pub or whatever) and they have a drink named after the bar, like cheers special ale, or flaming moe's (easy examples), you should order them at least to try them. most likely these drinks are what makes the owner or management particularly happy and they put effort on it, so give it a chance. you can order a whiskey sour anywhere else, but this special drink may have something particularly interesting.
3:23 OMG
Thanks for this de-naturation (with heat? acid? hehe) this remind me this theory: th-cam.com/video/mRzxTzKIsp8/w-d-xo.html
