You're the channel whose taught knowledge ACTUALLY stays with a person

[@jump186]

There's also kurzgesagt

[@sasha7614]

I would say it helps to have 'students' that come to your 'lessons' willing to learn making a noteworthy difference than maybe being forced to listen as a kid, but the cute drawing do stick with you big time 😂♥️

[@NDSiXL]

Right? Also your channel makes learning more clearer to comprehend.

[@cj-cv7zv]

I still remember the digestive system videos from when I watched them 2 years ago

[@Emcron]

as an MD, I just wanna say that I absolutely love these vids for the adorable animation! wish I had these back in medical school!

[@JakeAndBeastBoy2002]

Wow sound lovely

[@Waterthieve]

You're not a doctor Greg.... Dentists aren't doctors get a real job

[@dr.amanulhaque8941]

Being a doctor I want to congratulate you and all those learning from you for creating such a unique way of learning.. Really wish I had these resources back when I was in med school👍👍

[@CoolScratcher]

My bio teacher uses your vids, I'm in 9th grade so I'm just getting started with all this science-y stuff... thanks for the resources, they work so well and really help me out while studying :)

[@tiniwhiffles]

9th grade??? im in 6th and i have to learn this :((

[@jessie1932]

I'm also in 9th grade learning this

[@FetishEwing]

I'm a sophomore in college learning this for Anatomy & Physiology II. Emphasis on "II." I love that you guys are learning this. I cannot wait for your generation to lead. You all are so intelligent, you care, you prioritize your happiness and mental well-being. I support you guys and everything you'd like your future to be 💯

[@Phymacss]

Me too I’m in 9th grade and learning it for biology!

[@Phymacss]

@@FetishEwingwow! that was a very kind and motivating message, thank you! Good luck with university!

[@spenhunter3592]

bro you taught me more than my science teacher in 3 weeks 💀

[@mofifoluwaojo]

😂 true

[@senior_duck968]

Y’all don’t got health?

[@197_.09]

I graduated high school but I still watch this channel for fun

[@njyoung4373]

I honestly appreciate how much effort you put into these videos. I can't tell you how useful they've been for my studies. Please DON'T STOP.

[@tianacameron659]

My science teacher last year put me onto your videos. You explain it in a way that most teachers cannot. Thankyou.

[@Benni777]

As someone who has hypothyroidism is was really helpful to learn more about the endocrine system. Anyone else have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism? 🤝

[@absolutelyaweirdo]

Can you tell us what it means

[@mariettevanjaarsveld4006]

Just love how simple you make topics - and how cute!!! So great to watch for an intro and then delve deeper! Thank you 💕

[@tanyagomez310]

Your channel has been sooooo helpful for me during my Nursing school. THANK YOU for all the effort you put into these videos, you have really made a difference in my studying.

[@betheltorres2550]

You make learning biology so much fun! 🤩 I hope you can make a playlist for chemistry as well.

[@PoppaBoomer]

this lady is single-handedly helping me ace my matric year. Thank you so very much

[@theelvenjedi7045]

"Kidney party hats" at the end took me OUT 😂😂

[@yunusemreulger4715]

It s really perfect but it was too quick to understand and integrate so much new information. It is useful to examine in more detail.

[@ohlookadandelion]

that's why I always read down the text first b4 watching videos, but I must say, her teaching is WAYY slower than crash course's hank lmao (no hate to crash course, infact, I watch both these channels)

[@qamarinahayum4514]

I found your vid & score almost dean list during foundation program, then went for degree in nursing. Now an O&G nurse for almost 3 years & I still watch ur vid for fun!!💫

[@pirateninja1001]

you guys are absolute legends ❤ you inspired me to do bio :))

[@shahmeenawan4788]

Do you guys plan to explore other sciences like physics or chemistry? Because you are my anchor in biology!

[@lagituaivaflinders1400]

This was a great explanation that really interests me.

[@mukundg3815]

Your work is incredibly useful throughout highschool life, can we get a video about insects circulatory systems

[@triocha233]

from hating Anatomy & Physiology... to absolutely loving it & getting high grades... all thanks to you

[@LostIcul]

First off, I'm just going to say that I HATE biology. With a passion. BUT, I catch myself smiling and laughing at these videos more often than not. I got a 70 on my first bio exam from trying to read the textbook and memorize what I could. Then I found these videos and I got a 90 on my second exam. Y'all are the best :D

[@sarmadsardar2218]

You guys are doing great job❤
