Tiny exoskeleton fragments may have allowed some of the most important microbes in the planet’s history to set sail out into the open ocean and change the world forever.

Elephants might be strong, but they are weak compared to ants because ants have certain advantages that allow them to outlift their larger competitors.

Having bones is pretty cool. They make our blood, let us hear, and keep us from being just a squishy puddle on the floor. But for every species with bones, there are at least 20 species on Earth with exoskeletons instead. And those...

Almost every human has told a lie at some point or another - but did you know that we are not the only species to do this? From dogs to cuttlefish to thornbills, these 7 animals also lie!

Hank faces off against Minute Physics's Henry Reich in a battle of eccentricities, fashion, and plant puns.

This arthropod may look modest, but it actually used brilliant engineering to become the world’s most resilient beetle - and we might be able to use its design for our own engineering purposes.

When faced with life's toughest circumstances, how should we respond: as an optimist, a realist or something else? In an unforgettable talk, explorer Mark Pollock and human rights lawyer Simone George explore the tension between...

Many species of mantis shrimp rely on their incredible punching abilities to stun their prey. But it turns out they don’t have to be mature mantis shrimp to start getting their punch on. And baby Philippine mantis shrimp can punch nearly...

Meet the Mad Haterpillar with Henry Reich from Minute Physics

Big or small, most creatures end up on something else's dinner menu. But the velvet ant combines a ton of defenses into one very unappetizing package. 

Hank introduces us to the framework of our bodies, our skeleton, which apart from being the support and protection for all our fleshy parts, is involved in many other vital processes that help our bodies to function properly.

Eythor Bender of Berkeley Bionics brings onstage two amazing exoskeletons, HULC and eLEGS -- robotic add-ons that could one day allow a human to carry 200 pounds without tiring, or allow a wheelchair user to stand and walk. It's a...

Hank and physiologist Jon Harrison discuss the question of insect size and major theories that attempt to explain why there is a limit to how large insects can get with current conditions on Earth.

Hank continues our exploration of animal phyla with the more complexly organized annelida and arthropoda, and a biolography on insects.
