Day 8 of saying nice things about biology,
I actually really enjoyed learning biochemistry back in the day. A molecular understanding of biology cannot exclude biochemistry, after all. If you want to know "why molecules be like that" - you gotta deal with chemistry.

Phage. If they were a work of fiction, you'd give props to the artist for having such a unique, compelling design. Looking at EM images of them is weirder still because these things ACTUALLY exist - hunting bacteria that potentially hunt you.

Day 6 of saying nice things about biology.
Chemotaxis is a bit like seeing some closely guarded secret. It's easy to describe movement as "intelligent and motivated", but at the cellular level, movement actually follows some simple rules - follow that scent!

Day 5 of saying nice things about biology
I'm amazed at the extent to which we actually do understand embryonic development. Sure, there's a lot we don't know about what's going on here, but considering the cell fate of every cell in c-elegans has been mapped, I'd say that's a good start.

Learning that our mitochondria are powered by these weird little turbines in the form of ATP synthase opened my eyes to the fact that beneath the mystery of life is just fancy little legos - molecular machines!

Did you know that ULTRASOUND is being explored as a potential complementary therapy for breast cancer treatment? Ultrasound has a funny way of interacting with cancer cells, making this a non-invasive, accessible option to combat cancer. We'll talk more about it on Saturday!

Day 3 of saying nice things about biology.
Biology is one of a very few STEM disciplines where it is OK to anthropomorphize concepts (to a limited degree). Every cell, every protein, every gene has its own story, and it's kind of the foundation of my whole channel!

Day 2 of saying nice things about biology.
You may already be aware of the Sonic Hedgehog gene. But there are two other mammalian hedgehog genes: Indian hedgehog and Desert Hedgehog. It was by complete chance that Sonic Hedgehog ended up being the most important of the 3! A plot by robotnik maybe?

I'm a neurobiologist. I like the fact that that beneath the infinity complex mind is a system of fancy molecular Legos. Makes me appreciate how individual cells, no matter how insignificant on their own, can contribute to a something truly amazing!

I recently uploaded a video discussing pathogens smaller and more simple than viruses! Subviral infectious agents are a deeply fascinating rabbit hole to dive into, and for the most part, these are unknown in the broader public context! I want to fix that!
