I am in college Anatomy and Physiology and my professor told us to watch this video. This video is soooo helpful thank you for making it!

[@user-bw4yw7ul5m]

Can you translate these videos into arbic

[@jorgepineda7482]

I truly congratulate you on this video. This is how molecular biology should be tought. I have had great scientists as teachers but they lack the simplicity and fun factor in their teachings. Please keep on with this kind of videos, you may just encourage young minds to pursuit a career in the scientific field.

[@craigusher4036]

I’m 35 with no biology knowledge behind me studying Paramedic Science all the way in Scotland. I have understood more about DNA and RNA from these videos than the textbooks and lecture videos. It’s given me a baseline for further understanding. I love the combination of teaching with the cartoons (I’m a big kid really) which are humorous, love the accent and it’s clear the passion for the subject. More teachers / lectures need to be like this. It’s concerning how much I love these videos.

[@carmendelgado105]

It’s not concerning! We all have become audio visual learners due to the technology all around us! Educators must embrace these videos in their classrooms to help explain in various formats and meet different learning needs! I am a teacher and am adding videos like these to my curriculum. Not concerning at all!

[@gaminggalaxy8909]

Once during class while we were learning about mitosis and DNA, The science teacher showed us a few of your videos. They were really helpful because they taught us helpful facts about DNA in a humorous and engaging way with very good colorful pictures. Most of the kids didn't watch you ever again but I did and got a 20/20 on the test and everyone was like "HOW did u do that" now its about 2 months later and coronavirus is striking so there is no school. Yet my mom said I was going to have to do some education everyday including 45 minutes of science. So I asked her if I could watch science videos and my mom said she had to approve of them, so I showed her your video about meiosis and then my sister (who had the same teacher) walked by and said, "Oh the Amoeba Sisters, yeah they great." Then my mom approved of the video and now for 45 minutes for what I'm assuming is going to be the whole next month, I'm gonna watch your videos. Thank you so much
