Some Budding Yeast I Used to Grow

[@ShyamBhakta]

I saw this in undergrad when you released it, and it continues to be a jam and inspiration through grad school 😄

[@AnotherSpecialEdMom]

I don't know who could dislike this. It's beautifully done. I'm sharing it will all my cancer and genetics researchers. I know they'll LOVE it. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@squeeeeb]

I don’t know why but this was part of my childhood and now I’m back and almost graduating high school. I don’t know why but this video just stuck to me throughout my life, I found this somehow when I had to do a project about yeast in 5th grade. Im glad I can always com back to this.

[@frawgtastic]

My genetics prof showed us this yesterday in class. Awesome! Love the "Competing Financial Interests"

[@lavieja4673]

This is still a banger, ten years later

[@betobermudez4075]

Such masterpiece! amazing job!!! I've lost count how many times I've seen it :)

[@boehrb]

Love the authorship, materials and methods at the end. Well done!

[@jchvatal1]

I've got a long way to go until I have that much quality in a nerdy science video. Great job on the Lab Grammy!

[@MartynDerg]

I would absolutely love to see more stuff from you! You're amazing!

[@helenight]

I feel your pain. Your lab diary is so neat! Mine are always a mess... Good luck in your future fundings and thank you for this!

[@LukeDOMGBBQ]

I think it's ridiculous that it's taken 8 years for me to discover this.

[@emilyk8755]

Thank you for sharing this video! I found it through an NPR link. I too work in a yeast lab and fully enjoyed and empathize with your sad love song. I made sure to share it with my lab mates. Good luck in your future research!

[@achmed6704]

"I forgot to give you glucose, and you just died." Oh god my sides.

[@evolvwing]

watching this again, so amazing

I really hope you guys win the award. Your video was the best by far.

[@PcBY]

Genuine tears out of my eyes. This is brilliant!

[@RodAGTotoro]

Oh my yeast!! This video is so awesome! Great work, i loved it.

[@Violetentity]

That was awesome! Nice reference concerning funding and too true if its not a study involving something that the large pharmaceutical can develop and make a lot of money off there is no funding, However maybe someday. Videos like this could be used as an educational tool in elementary school. Science set to music gets kids interested and motivated.

[@kenkclam]

Brilliant The tight NIH funding for basic research makes me sad

[@esevas]

This cracked me up! I used to work Jasper Rine's lab ages ago. Nice work :)

[@lirael030]

This is the best thing I have ever seen/heard in my entire life.

[@peachesandsunshine9]

You, sir, have persuaded me to take up my Plant Biology Ph.D at UC-Berkeley in 2014. Thank you. LOL

[@MrTetrads]

This reminded me I needed to go to the lab and make some patches from single colonies!

[@peachesandsunshine9]

Of course I am! :) I still have college tours, fellowship applications and university applications and it's no light task. It's good to see graduate students who are able to express themselves in creative ways while doing research. Creativity plays a HUGE role in science communication and skarefamena is doing an awesome job! I recently read an article titled "The Myth of the Well-Rounded Scientist" by Adam Ruben published on Science Careers. Yes, we are scientists, but it is ok to be human.

[@eleabell7607]

So many people saying that this is funny... I found myself crying over the yeast.

[@FelicityWhiteArt]

This is amazing! Brightened my lab report writing day write up

[@Taegre]

This is really well done! I love it.

[@sciencewithtom]

Awesome work.

[@gdp3rd]

Great parody! I really miss the Follies (I was in Mol Biol 1984-88) ...

[@javierjavier296]

This is so good for some reason

[@mehedihassan7668]

This is funny but so interesting. I like this.

[@adamperrotta462]

We need more open source funding for science. There will always be things the NIH cannot or will not fund. Besides, when federal budgets are tight, science funding always seems to be cut.

[@barbatusimperator]

Instant classic.

[@gzentner]

As a yeast chromatin guy, this brought a tear to my eye. But, to S. cerevisiae, I say, in the immortal words of Rick Astley... "Never gonna give you up..."

[@MariyukiM]

Awesome video!! Good luck! I love yeast too :-)

[@rosifischer1363]

Super! Very original and creative.

[@kirstenska]

Y'all are amazing!!!

[@kgpartsi]

Really love it! Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a lab star!

[@rylanm92]

Awww, poor yeasts!!! The NIH should fund the poor souls

[@mnibis591]

This is so brilliant...I'm dazzled.

[@steenaire]

This is amazing.

[@snabbott]

Congratulations! This video is awesome!

[@colleendunseath2596]

Thank you! Improbable Research had yours and the Gotye vid and I like yours so much better. Of course this a post-menopausal Old Broad who needs less romance and more parody in life. Or of life. Thanks again.

[@JonDuanePerry]

Awesome video! Love the tattoo.

[@nerdra]

This is pretty great.

[@DocRandal]

Brilliant!

[@XeeleeFoe]

This was great. And educational. I can pronounce saccharomyces correctly now.

[@ShinogamiLealaii]

Absolutely awesome! Wicked tattoo too, by the way :D

[@naomisorbet481]

Love it. Thank you!

[@pacoed]

Awesome!!!

[@sosyPel]

this is amazing

[@solarvalkyrie]

Amazing!

[@omgdflea]

like i mean other kinds of data that may have stemmed from your original work that may not be necessarily related?

[@johannaludeke7016]

This is awesome!

[@zuza3956]

Brilliant!!!

[@omgdflea]

sorry for my ignorance for exactly what occurred, but didnt u collect enough data to keep the fund givers interested?

[@Krisjenn7]

How did i get on to this!?

[@Ekergaard]

BTW does all North America scientists make music videos about their work problem, or is it just you and the people in Hui Zheng lab.

[@Ekergaard]

This is welldone. I don't understand everything but I'm just an undergraduate.

[@violaneve6614]

This is a thing of beauty and joy forever. M a g i c a l.

[@littlelifes]

Oh! :(

[@ilanasivan]

Beautiful lab book :)

[@benofreedman]

double helix tattoo at 3:37

[@Mrotot098]

How many hours cutting the video?

[@Eurika83]

wow! good job!

[@Melissa-in2wu]

So clever. Love it :)

[@mindylinky]

OMG funniest science video yet XD

[@alokkimbo]

Don't plz don'ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt uh uh *heart attack * dead

[@LPSlionlife]

Cool!

[@Nina-fw6un]

I'll never listen to 'Somebody that I used to know' the same ; - ;

[@vsrangan]

priceless

[@Sajjuuuk]

sweet tattoo you got there on your forearm!

[@benofreedman]

Well it's still an awesome video... very poignant. I found myself humming auxotrophs this morning.

[@EsmeraldaVermeulen]

Hi, I posted your video on my Science So Sexy blog. I hope it's OK.

[@Kilanyist]

LoL! that's scientifically hilarious !! :D

[@merdershewrote371]

this is sooooo funny!!!
