@gordogordito87 King of Biologists: Forrest Valkai,
know him?
Looks like a troon.
I hate him already.
@__loafy__ wut?

This guy is like the child of David Attenborough and Willem Dafoe I love it
B: I happen to have some murder hornets here…
M: AAAAAHHHHH
B: In this stasis container.
M: Oh.
B: Hmm, it’s empty.
M: AAAAAHHHHHHHH
He looks like Bruce Jenner right before he became Caitlyn.
2:32 My first thought was „but dogs bleed in heat!“ but when I think about it, it’s not as „clotty“ as in humans. So maybe not the actual membrane being shed?
I don’t like that he uses expressions like “…the female will HAPPILY decapitate the male…” (speaking of mantis) they’re not happy to do it, or sad, or mad, it’s just their nature.
boneworm pog
ozzy is so good at explaining biology with passion
I’m so tapped in
Please tell me this dude has his own YouTube channel, I need like 40 more hours of this
I’d hit a a J with this prefessor. Absolute legend! 💜
Super smart stoneman. Nice 👍🏼
9:44 How can we more quickly domesticate our viruses? Does this mean that a virus becoming endemic is a milestone in a virus becoming less deady? Like all the other non-lethal and benign viruses.
Crispin Glover?
I always thought the Ostrich “Burying” their heads in the “Sands” was them adjusting the Eggs in the Nest; or otherwise tricking trying to fool Egg Thieves into attacking False Nest.
3:10 LOL. That question killed me.
This man is a bubble of sunshine.
This is one enthusiastic biologist. Wish my teacher was this enthusiastic. Would make biology more fun as well as interesting
Crispin Glover has really branched out.
I loved every second of this.
