Scientists have developed a way to grow miniature versions of human organs; some of the weirdest organoids are the mini brains.

Large clumps of wasps can occasionally be found on the tops of tall structures, and although you probably still don’t want to mess with them, these aren’t angry swarms—they’re actually super chill parties.

Of all the weird animals that exist in the world, platypuses are up there with the weirdest, and last year scientists discovered something even more peculiar about their fur: it glows! What may be even more strange, though, is how little...

Humans make a lot of noise! Transportation, industries, & how we work and play in natural spaces all have an impact on the sound we put out every day, and all this noise pollution is disrupting how animals use sound to communicate.

Future advances in engineering may come from chemistry. From molecular motors to salt-shaker-drug-deliverers, the future looks small.

We can learn a lot from dinosaur fossils, but figuring how they behaved is a real challenge.

Amazing scientific discoveries aren't always made by renowned scientists! Here's a few examples of times ordinary people unlocked some incredible discoveries! Let's' check it out!

When you think "parasite," you might think of leeches or some nasty tape worm, but there are some that can live inside your very own cells.

Unless you saw the spider bite you, that swollen, bite-looking lesion on your arm is probably something else, and blaming it on an innocent 8-legged critter might do more harm than good. Hosted by: Stefan Chin

The group of bacteria known as Chlamydiae doesn't do much to endear itself to us since these bacteria can cause a variety of illnesses. But it turns out that we may have Chlamydiae to thank for life as we know it!

Did you know there are everyday practices that can reduce your risk of Cancer? Science can prove it. In a study published this week in the journal Frontiers in Aging, researchers propose a combination of simple strategies to help prevent...

You might not think much of your tongue, but without it, we may have never conquered dry land and the world as we know it.

Statistics! They're every scientist's friend. But they can be easy to misinterpret. Check out this thought exercise with Hank to understand how some mental kung fu known as Bayesian reasoning can use stats to draw some downright...

This week, researches published a genetic analysis of the 11,500-year-old remains of a baby found in Alaska, near where the first Americans crossed the Bering land bridge. That analysis has answered some lingering questions about human...

Lizards tend to scurry around in short bursts rather than running long distances, and the reason why might be nearly as old as life on land. Hosted by: Stefan Chin

Is there a chance that more species may actually be closer to fish than we originally thought?

The answer to why wasabi is such a nose burner has to do with a compound that researchers are trying to use in a creative way! Hosted by: Stefan Chin

Could the next wonder drug be somewhere in Canada's snowy north? Take a trip to this beautiful, frigid landscape as chemist Normand Voyer explores the mysterious molecular treasures found in plants thriving in the cold. These scarcely...

The 1930s in the United States were pretty bad for employment in all industries, and the theater was no exception. As part of Roosevelt's New Deal, the Works Progress Administration created a division called the Federal Theatre Project....

Youth leader Shreya Joshi diagnoses a key source of political polarization in the US and shows why having "uncomfortable conversations" with people you disagree with is crucial to bridging the divide. "When we are able to recognize what...

Global consumer strategist Aparna Bharadwaj shares a fascinating glimpse at under-the-radar affinities that transcend cultures and borders -- from the way people snack in China and Saudi Arabia to how people shop for clothes in the US...

Things have been getting more and more complicated here in Crash Course Organic Chemistry, and as we deal with more complex molecules, parts of molecules we don’t want to react will start reacting along with the parts that we do....

An introduction to group theory, and the monster group.
