    I'm a biologist, and while I'm finishing my thesis and stressed out beyond my limits and regretting many life decisions, I kind of needed this video to remind myself why I love this field. So thank you!

    I find it truly amazing that content with this much effort put into it is completely free for those who can't afford to pay. Love CrashCourse forever

      Medical students sometimes have a bs in biology. It isn't for everyone.

      Drug-resistant pathogens. Or an environmental field.

      Biology is such a big field. You have to break down what makes you happy.
      Do you want to work in a clinical lab, a research lab, out in the field, a mix of roles? Wildlife conservation?
      When you know what you like, that will help you pick a direction.

      in the same boat here. its crazy that you can graduate w a degree in biology and still have no idea what biologists really do in practice or the different paths available

    I'm becoming more and more fond of this as we go on. It's so clear how much this host adores the topic and that is SO wonderful. Looking forward to the next!

    caught the "turtles all the way down" reference xD honestly really love how crash course is showcasing non-white perspectives on old topics where important progress made by indigenous, black, and other peoples of colour has often been buried.

    Thanks for doing a scene about the brilliant George Washington Carver. He is a hero to me. This is one of his most famous and important discoveries. Unfortunately, too many southern farmers rejected his suggestions and emphasized cotton farming. One should read his biography.
    Also, I recommend the Library of America volume of the works of Edward O. Wilson. I recently read his "Biophilia" and hope to start on "The Diversity of Life" and "Naturalist" soon.
    Also, I would recommend "A Sand County Almanac & Other Writings on Ecology and Conservation" by Aldo Leopold. 👍🤔😀😄

    I love how this series has given so much credits to non-white and non-male scientists which are still underrepresented in the scientific community.

  • @samwill7259
    @samwill7259 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If we had more passion about jobs like this in schools we wouldn't be having so much trouble filling STEM positions.
    Oh, also the crippling debt costs of college. That also hurts when you can't afford a higher education and also food.

    Crash course team, i love your videos, only thing i wish was that if they were from an indian perspective too, like jee etc. Cause even though ap and jee may have some similar syllabus the content in them is kinda different
