It's so cool that grass grows the same way that fingernails do, it's almost like the earth is touching us when we walk on it. Also, I was always taught that yawning was a multipurpose tool in the sense that it generates an empathic response in other individuals and it's a good way to see who feels connected to us. Another thing it does is stimulate the tear ducts, generating lubrication for the eyes so if your eyes are dry then your body will produce a yawn which ties into why we yawn when we're tired.

The ultimate school: All the professors and researchers that WIRED has featured. All of the guests are so passionate about their area that it makes me want to become a major in everything granted that they are the teachers.

Thor is so dynamic and engaging. He's the kind of professor you'd love to have in college when you never wanted to take biology in the first place, the kind who attracts students no matter what they teach.
@DarrenMc Рік тому
I'm guessing I'm not the only one binging on these videos one after another? there's just something so therapeutic about listening to an expert explain their passion

I would not skip a class if this man was my teacher
@mello8506 2 роки тому
I honestly feel people would learn a lot more in school if every professor/teacher would explain subjects with this kind of passion. Usually I have no interest in biology, but this guy’s demeanor and passion and just how he explained it made the whole topic so much more fascinating. We need more people like him.

That last statement is my favorite. "Can we do these things, but should we?" - Thor Hanson “...Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” - Ian Malcolm (Jurassic Park) Epic.

He should do biology audiobooks. I'd become a master biologist through bed-time listening in a matter of months haha.

@fusionwing4208 2 роки тому
I love it whenever people who dont generally frequent the internet enough to learn specific acronyms have a short moment of "whats this mean?" Only to be surprised by the guys in the back. That on top of their passionate display and talk makes them feel more human, cause we humans enjoy learning regardless of what it is we learn
@MrEazyE357 2 роки тому
What?!
@DanielChse 2 роки тому
Original comment talks about even like somebody ( the biologist in this case ) who really looks very knowledgable about the stuff he passionate about can still have a moment of confusion about a little things. 12:22 Such as this internet lingo that seems unfamiliar to him. Next to the "ohhhhhh that's what that is" after somebody on the back explain it to him. It makes a sweet moment to like explaining to your parents about these zoomer thingy that seems to captivated them.
@jessicalund9269 2 роки тому
This guy is incredible. I hated biology after 3 years of my degree but a teacher like this would have changed my outlook entirely! Thank you so much for your passion:)
@SilvaDreams 2 роки тому
Sadly a lot of teachers for a good 30 years have been rather lack luster, very few seem to actually enjoy their profession. I can only think of a hand full of teachers that made learning actually interesting or I wish I had myself.... Most just droned on reading out of the book hardly seeming to know the material they were teaching.
@koniku3y 2 роки тому
@@SilvaDreams cuz after through years they seem to stop discovering something new to themselves like in her case "biology", kept repeating the same topic, lessons, etc. for years with no growth will definitely result to that.
@natmerco Місяць тому
the passion he has for biology is giving me so much joy, and his communication skills are incredible. i could probably listen to him explain an entire biology textbook, front to back
