In 2003, microbiologists made a huge discovery. One that would force us to reconsider a lot of what we thought we knew about the evolution of microbial life: giant viruses.

You've heard of Breast Cancer, Skin Cancer, Colon Cancer, and many others. But this specific cancer was something entirely different—it took a research team five months to diagnose this specific cancer case, and that’s due purely to its...

The simplest organisms can still accomplish wonders.

Scientific discoveries, futurist Juan Enriquez notes, demand a shift in code, and our ability to thrive depends on our mastery of that code. Here, he applies this notion to the field of genomics.

Jumping into a refreshingly cold body of water on a hot summer day can feel wonderful, except for your nose. Why does it hurt so much when you get water up your nose?

Join the Amoeba Sisters in discovering how to use a dichotomous key to identify organisms. This video also touches on the importance of scientific names. Table of Contents: Intro 00:00 What is a Dichotomous Key? 0:29 Scientific Names vs....

Get introduced to protists and fungi with the Amoeba Sisters! This video explores basic cell type, mode of feeding, habitat examples, and ecology of both protists and fungi. This video also mentions a few examples of how protists and...

The medical industry has developed countless methods and tools for diagnosing the myriad of illnesses that can befall us. This, as you might guess, includes cancer. But it took a research team five months to diagnose this specific cancer...

Microbes are all around us, on everything we touch, drink, or eat. While most microbes can't hurt us, you don't have to go much farther than your own backyard to find some that really can! Chapters PLAGUE 0:39 TULAREMIA 4:48...

Compares and contrasts prokaryote cells and eukaryote cells before exploring organelle structures and functions! Video includes the modern cell theory and plant vs. animal cell comparisons. See table of contents by expanding video...

Scientists have discovered viruses that infect viruses... virusception, if you will. Does this mean viruses qualify as life yet? Or are they still hanging out in the misfits drawer with sporks and Pluto?

Paul Andersen surveys organisms in the protists. He reviews the diversity found within the domain Eukarya and explains that the Kindgom Protista is simple a junk drawer for organisms that don't fit elsewhere.

You might have been one of those lucky people that had a microscope to tinker with as a kid. But if you missed out on that, it’s not too late! If you’re interested in making your very own foray into the world of microscopy, here are four...

Hank veers away from human anatomy to teach us about the (mostly) single-celled organisms that make up two of the three taxonomic domains of life, and one of the four kingdoms: Archaea, Bacteria, and Protists. They are by far the most...

In this video, we learn about the fascinating amoeba, an organism that has been around for billions of years and functions without a brain or multiple cells. Despite its simple appearance, the amoeba showcases remarkable movement through...

In this video, we explore the fascinating world of protozoans, animal-like protists that are grouped by their unique modes of movement. These diverse protozoans exhibit various structures and behaviors, highlighting the incredible...

In this video, we explore the differences between a microscopic organism called an amoeba and a bird. We also learn about the concept of multicellularity, where living things like flowers, human beings, and marine iguanas are made up of...

The video is a tutorial for drawing organic shapes using cross contour lines, specifically an apple and an amoeba. The teacher provides step-by-step instructions and tips for creating the illusion of 3D shape through curved cross contour...
