I like how Emily is doing the rock out hand sign thing with her right hand most of the video.

[@thenoeggplantzone]

Emily, when i'm sad with life, I binge on your science videos and it helps :-) xxx

[@Fieldsofheather]

This makes me want to go to a museum.

[@musingsofajay387]

my god. shes so passionate about this i nearly teared up eating my sandwich. it was nothing to tear up over either.. just the tone of her voice

[@SciJoy]

You are helping fix the biggest problem. Thank you for spreading not only information but also excitement.

[@naraferalina2308]

Yeah, she brought back my love for biology!

[@ianprohofsky7681]

All your videos are great and I can't wait for more!

[@KnightsOfBellamy]

I love this show so much. Emily, you're awesome.

[@kaylabessey5712]

literally you and this channel are my fave things on the internet.

[@HayleyBarrickman]

This was the funniest Ask Emily yet! Thank you!

[@Romanlieutenant19]

This is legit my favorite channel. Like seriously I can't even

[@xdanniex92x]

It was so nice meeting you and Michael! I love this show so much.

[@The214thRabidFangirl]

Emily is adorable and I want to be her friend. Her upbeat attitude makes me happy when I watch her videos no matter what the topic is. You are awesome!

[@Lady_Charlotta]

This video looks great! I can't wait for the dissecting videos :D

[@Kram1032]

The Brainscoop always has been awesome. But in this episode I can see a clear jump in editing. So gorgeous! Really nice! Also, YAAY another Ask Emily. Also Soonracoon!

[@Kbroadd1]

best episode yet

[@TheLavLav]

This is the exact reason this channel is so great

[@stecky87]

Your passion for this is inspiring!

[@ExclaimationPoint27]

This show is so great :D

[@snookie65]

Love your channel!

[@aaizuss]

god i love this show. everything is fascinating indeed.

[@katielyden858]

I love how passionate Emily is...she's amazing

[@locovanpete]

4:15 priceless. please oh please don't stop your videos!

[@ales.f]

Great idea for showing the questions with blurred Emily in the background. Top notch editing!

[@booksandcat]

I really had no idea how much went on behind the scenes at museums until I started watching the Brain Scoop! So thanks :)

[@gamebent]

Another great vid!

[@Sabotski]

I really really really really REALLY like this!

[@lindawisebear]

AHAHAHA - that eery music combined with that slowly zoom-in, and those widening eyes, and the Google logo becoming gradually clearer : SO GOOD!!

[@SarahKaising]

I LOVE the Brain Scoop videos that feature Emily answering questions and going more in depth about topics personally. I do believe the Field Museum episodes were both educational and fascinating, but I really think Brain Scoop shines by utilizing Emily in her element.

[@aloizio3d]

LOVED IT

[@bm1167]

I was at the field museum on Saturday. It was an amazing collection and in that one day I only saw about 1/4 of the exhibits. Well worth the trip.

[@VanessaM.88]

I love this channel :)

[@Quasar502]

Soo many good questions. Good vid.

[@ReflectionBasin]

This is a very well made video. I laughed audibly.

[@sorianasanchez6911]

as one artist to another artist, you make science so accessible and truly fascinating

[@kelseylizabeth657]

Thanks! That was a great vid!

[@advancedninjastudies]

I love the Brain Scoop so much. We need more channels nerding out on natural history. Nature is a real cool thing and everybody needs to know it.

[@Moonprismpower]

You are awesome!

[@SaffyTheGeek]

My god Emily, I do love how you have maintained (even worked on) the sense of humour in this show, the google bit made me laugh so much.

[@Aaron16M]

I LOVE YOU EMILY

[@katherinechunky]

I totally love what you're doing here(:

[@UninspiredFilm5]

Emily was right hand rocking out the whole dang time! Awesome hahaha

[@Hazel0096]

I love Brain Scoop!

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

Yay!

[@KiddsockTV]

Very Cool Emily and Team. Thank you. HUGS

[@LudwigSpiegel]

Lovely channel. You are very,very talented! Also,your voice is very pleasant to listen to.

[@realSmittyWerbenjagermanjensen]

I'm so jealous of you, Emily. You get to do so much interesting stuff! I didn't realize your job was so fascinating, what with dissecting and skinning animals. I hope Chicago will fit you well!

[@CharlesDourdy]

Obviously, Emily Rocks!

[@PedroHenriqueScloneski]

Michael Aranda is a genious!

[@CBaggers]

Woo! more dissections!

[@scottswan9292]

Best jfgi I have ever seen in my life!

[@mariavolk1418]

THE SOON RACCON! Loved the video, keep up the good work!

[@psychopurple]

Looking forward to it =D

[@2702]

awh, so cute!

[@1StoryB]

Everything is fascinating

[@LiviaRevan]

Oh my I cant wait to see what will be dissected next.

[@Justasweird]

the humor in this was gold

[@metacrisis47]

The trading of different species to fill the museum sort of reminded me of a very early version of Pokemon.

[@garethbaus5471]

Dead pikachu.

[@mnkee11]

I love when the question I asked is answered, but attributed to someone else. It feels so great to know that other people are wondering the same things as I am. Brains are so cool.

[@Agent_Dangles]

Watching the brain scoop inspired me to turn this past summer into my Dangles' Great Big Summer Museum Adventure. I went to a natural science museum, a general science museum, a space museum, a history museum, a zoo, and an aquarium that were all pretty close to my home town, and were all ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Other than the zoo and aquarium I had never been to them before. It can seem a bit expensive at first, but we were there until closing time in most of them, so you get your money's worth.

[@llroySaves]

Emily YOU are fascinating. It doesn't matter what you are talking about, for some reason I could watch you ramble on all day.

[@myrealname114]

This is the best

[@Meh1479]

God I love you guys at the Brain Scoop xD

[@Lacoux]

YES I WANT THIS

[@13SilentSandy13]

YOU'RE WEARING THE ABOUT THE ARTIST DRESS! I LOVE THAT DRESS. I JUST BOUGHT ONE OFF MOD CLOTH IN NAVY. OMG.

[@Rithene]

I laughed so hard at Soon at the end. Gets me every time.

[@CampColombo]

I love, love, love natural history museums! I agree that not many people realize these places are active laboratories. If we are interested to know what kind of great things are being learned/reseached behind the scenes, where is the best place to look?

[@AndreesSC]

I love how you hold your hand in rock 'n' roll style the whole time :D

[@ErinKwed]

Love the shout out to UMich! And another great way to use Wikipedia is to look at the bibliography and explore those sites/journals!

[@ZacharyGalifianakis]

Your videos are edited so well ... gudjob.

[@JonathanAcostaValverde]

what the hell is wrong with people who thumb down such awesome videos. That I'll never understand.

[@holymoloney]

Emily! More videos!

[@realspacemodels]

The Brain Scoop has done much to repair the damage done to natural history museums by those "Night at the Museum" movies. What really happens at a natural history museum is SOOO much more interesting and cool. Thanks Emily et al!

[@izzytheiz]

Go Emily!

[@flabellinopsis]

Fabulous! My students will be so excited to hear your answer - thank you :)

[@minergmaingx2000]

The first part was cute!

[@themaypole]

Saw a woman with an Everything is Dead shirt on at the museum of natural science in Houston with my gf, and as a brain scoop poster owner in England I love seeing the merch out and about! Can't wait for another skinning video, the wolf one was what rle made me love the brain scoop, it jus fascinated me beyond words

[@My2ndnephew]

Rocky, good to see ya! Run!

[@Begviling]

It's what makes this entire series entertaining. I am a firm believer that if you want to "sell" science to anyone you need a salesperson with two qualities: knowledge, if you're going to talk about science you need to know about science like any other kind of teacher; second, Enthusiasm, AKA passion. You need to be someone so obviously and hopelessly in love with whatever you're talking about that your audience empathises with that passion and wants to listen to you.

[@the_candy_man_can]

That "soon" was priceless.

[@self6942]

Just wanted to say, excellent response to a rather limited question. Well done.

[@cablestick]

Excellent

[@pead0smiles]

for my 17th birthday i'm going to the natural history museum in london, travelling 3 hours on a coach to go to a museum......yup, i can't thank you enough emily for the brain scoop that has gotten me so interested in natural history!

[@pourcelaine]

Guh you combine science and adorable quirkyness and brains and I just love it X_X

[@steelvenom2003]

i'm so angry about how perfect this channel is

[@Shunga4]

Emily is hilarious!!!

[@SciencePlug]

New skinning video to come YEAAAAAH

[@TwinkTwinkle]

Micheal is awesomely great at making the videos. :-)

[@SummerLeppanen]

Oh, I'm 18 now. I have to go back and watch the skinning video! YAY!

[@100crisps]

Yau soon. I love watching dissections. Something about seeing what really makes and animal tick is really cool. I especially like that show into natures giants where they dissect huge animals.

[@melowmedia]

Im diggin the question graphics

[@thestrangejames]

When I was in elementary school we took bi-monthly trips to the public library and had to do a mini book report on one book that interested us. Somewhat different from now, being in university, while during full time semesters I literally spend upwards of twenty hours a week in the library in between classes and doing research.

[@kchiem]

Rock on Emily!

[@Boudiccat]

My Uncle works in the Laboratories behind the scenes in the Natural History Museum (London) and when i went and looked around it was amazing the amount of things on not on display either because of lack of space or just it being too fragile. I saw almost every specimen collected by Charles Darwin on his Beagle voyage as well as huge amounts of Taxidermy that mostly is over 300 years old. Sometimes people just underestimate Museums and take them for granted here in the UK as they are free.

[@TheUnchainedMind]

Ok, this was a really good video :)

[@lemake72]

This show makes me so happy. Like, stupid smiling happy. I wish I was older with a job and money to give you. It really makes my day.

[@ChristopherMei86]

Raccon look so cute and cuddly for us from places where we don't have them!

[@goodbyhalf]

4:16 - That's when I decided I was going to subscribe.

[@Zralf]

4:15 is the best advice that can be given to anyone, ever.

[@LisaThinksALot]

Animal Diversity Web!!! I just heard their business pitch Wednesday. They're trying to expand to help out parks and such, it's pretty awesome.

[@LNkitybacon]

Yay you mentioned U of M! :D
