    These two have kept me sane for YEARS of last minute projects because theyā€™re the only ones who can actually help me understand science
  • @drasios
    im only here for quarantine... i gotta get my grades up
  • @atsukoprice4826
    Thank you so much for having such vocal variety in your voice. Iā€™m literally so tired but I have to finish this assignment and I could drop and fall asleep any second. But since youā€™re voice sounds so passionate and entertaining it makes me feel like I should be just as passionate about learning. So itā€™s not hard to stay up and learn. Thank you Sooooo much.
  • You know why Carbon is my favorite? Because that's the only cycle I can memorize
  • @user-tp5bu5gh6m
    My school uses one assignment per week My biology teacher uses 10 per week
  • @ComersCave
    When any of your vids come on in bio class it gets lit
  • @joshirwin9156
    As a a high school teacher these videos make perfect supplementary material. Some videos are too long-winded and dull for teenagers and some are overly childish. I find that these ones strike a perfect balance.
  • When you're in second year of uni and this is more helpful than your lecturer
  • amoeba sisters need to make videos that don't appeal to my biology teacher so he wont use them
  • @avawestfall2939
