Bananas! They’ve got a long trip from harvest to table, and a lot of science goes into keeping them delicious. This episode was produced in collaboration with and sponsored by Emerson.

Welcome back to SciShow News! Michael Aranda explains how a male's health affects their sperm.

Hank shares some developments in cancer research, from new insights into the behavior of zombie cancer cells, to a new method that uses nanotechnology to kill cancer from within.

Until now, researchers have assumed that healthy cells switch off the enzyme telomerase as a way to protect themselves from turning cancerous. But a new study suggests the enzyme may have a healthier role than we previously thought....

Your body usually does a great job defending you from all kinds of viruses, fungi, and bacteria. However, there are some pathogens out there that can hide from your immune system and stay dormant in your body, waiting for their...

Hank brings us breaking news from a team of geneticists working on figuring out what all that "junk DNA" in the human genome really is - turns out it's not junk after all.

Sometimes, plants do unexpected things. Like control their own body temperature.

Despite some bold claims, most supplements can’t really "boost" your metabolism, and the actual changes we can make to it are pretty limited.

Neurons often get all the credit for running the brain, but the work done by Ben Barres at Stanford University proved that glial cells are far more crucial to brain functioning than we had previously realized.

We all know turtles live an amazingly long time, but what's their secret? And can we apply it to humans?

Is there actually a cure for cancer? A universal cure would be a truly historic achievement in medicine, and it seems that scientists may have found it... by accident. Watch this new episode of SciShow and find out more! Hosted by: Hank...

How do you track turtles that spend most of their time in muddy water and also look like rocks? It turns out, scientists have found a way to track such hidden animals using eDNA.

You'd think we'd know everything there is to know about sexual reproduction. But as it turns out, there are still quite a few things we picked up that aren't exactly true, and we're here to correct that.

While it’s probably most famous for its role in gene editing, CRISPR does more than just that: its ability to precisely cut and alter DNA could lead to new antibiotics, faster diagnosis tools, and more.

Venomous snakes produce some of the world’s deadliest substances, so they have to be pretty careful about how they use it. But what happens if they accidentally inject themselves with their own harmful cocktail?

While viruses can be deadly and completely wreak havoc on humanity, they can also sometimes change our world for the better. Join Hank Green for a new episode of SciShow and learn the truth about the viruses that have shaped humanity...

There’s still a lot of work to be done before HIV is cured, but this week scientists reported the second-ever case of full HIV remission in a patient.

Taking photos used to require technical knowledge and time in a lab, but now we have electronic devices in our pockets that do all of the work for us. How do these miracle devices do it? Hosted by: Olivia Gordon

3 billion base pairs is a pretty typical genome size for organisms like us, but there are a few plants and animals with genomes so huge they completely blow this number out of the water. Hosted by: Olivia Gordon

The cell nucleus is crucial to multicellular life, so you think science would have a good idea how it evolved. The truth is, we don't, but Scientists do have some theories, including invading giant viruses!

With their squishy bodies and color-changing abilities, octopuses and other cephalopods already look like our planet’s resident aliens. But researchers have discovered yet another thing that separates them from most other animals on...

Hank talks about chimeras, and why Venus the cat probably isn't one - but your mom might be!
