As a science teacher, this video strikes me as a BIG part of what I try to do with my students. Students create models of a phenomenon- in this case, a virus entering a cell- and then we compare the models looking for strengths and weaknesses of them. You should take your skills to the classroom! Or create a new channel and have people send in models so you can review them! I enjoyed this a lot!

After getting my bachelor in bio-informatics and starting in IT in 2019, I thought I would never need the microbiology I learned in college. Then the pandemic hit...

Have not seen a MinuteEarth video this good in a long time. For some reason the music and Ever and illustrations were just perfect together. P. S. I know I am a little late. And I still do like every other video, but for some reason Ever just does it way better.

[@GeekmanCA]

Any illustration/animation is going to be somewhat abstracted, and should be! This is a technical communication strategy choice. Just like you chose to put faces on viruses or not go deep down a rabbit hole on the difference between a virus and virion, we have to simplify and abstract anything we explain depending on the audience. And it almost all the cases here, it's an audience of laypersons. So while the painting is indeed incredible in its detail and beauty, Stickfigure Henry needs to chill on the simplified Netflix animation that probably does the job for the purpose it serves and the audience it's delivered to. ;) Simple illustrations and animations aren't necessarily "wrong", just necessarily abstracted. I think the video more or less explains this.

[@Zcon18]

I do agree that in all other circumstances illustration should be abstracted because how something looks generally isn't the focus point of a particular lesson, but sometimes it's nice to see the pure complexity of biology. You can't film cells (at the protein and chemical level) after all.

[@GeekmanCA]

@@Zcon18 Indeed! We're in a beautiful overlap between highly-accurate instructional graphics and pure art with that painting. Brings me back to being a kid and gazing at science article illustrations in National Geographic for hours on end.

[@tristanmoller9498]

Virions (or viral particles) aren't alive. But once the virus has taken over the host cell, they're definitely alive. The thing is that a virus (the one that's considered alive) is way more than a virion: it's the whole entity that exists during the infection cycle.
