So cool!!!

Petition for the studytubers to run for president

[@TheHollyChronicle]

I love this channel because it gives me the opportunity to learn about topics I’d never search for myself!!

[@felicity0825]

This series is a superb idea. I've watched the presenters as students, but now they're acting more like professionals. I find those subjects which are taught only at universities or higher levels particularly interesting. Thank you so much.

[@TheHollyChronicle]

“Give a thumbs up if you have a skull or a pelvis” 😂

[@violahelen_]

I never knew you could tell someone’s sex based on their skull. Such an interesting video Rosie!! & so well edited xx

[@RosieCrawford]

Thank you so much 💓💓💓💓💓

[@suzannekruyswijk]

My 16 year old 'Bones the TV-show'' obsessed self is living it up with this video. Thanks so much!😍

[@abderahmanffoujamaa4938]

Thank you Rosie for this perfect video! I'm a fan of archeology and seeing an archeology student here made me really glad! I've often seen experts aging skelton by using the skull and the pelvis but never knew exactly how. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@nadineebada6557]

those skull drawings are so so good!!

[@RosieCrawford]

Thank you!

[@gsmith037]

I've wanted to study archaeology for years now and never knew you were here! It's giving me good vibes knowing that I'll get obsessed in no time :)

[@RosieCrawford]

Oh heeey yesss we love archaeology 💓💓💓

[@oliviax6839]

I love this channel since I get to learn something new everyday! :) (My favourite subject is French, because I love learning new languages!)

[@grantmarshall3026]

I’ve only heard the term bio archaeology today after watching a video on the wellcome collection. So fascinating, thanks for the uploads, my wife absolutely hates my weird fascination with brow ridges and stable isotope testing 🤣🤣

[@No-zl2tm]

1st view!!! Exactly what everyone needs in this time, thank you all

[@Anne-id2zt]

This video was really fascinating Might have to do with my interest in forensics. I am already looking forward to your next video.

[@wahwahida]

the way you explain is very engaging!

[@andreamaritz993]

Absolutely loved this! Bones are honestly so so cool 👌🏻 Love from South Africa ❤️🇿🇦

[@CinnamonToast]

This video is so well made! I can tell you put lots of effort into it and really love the subject. My favorite subject is english literature, especially poetry.

[@samiraansari5686]

Wow! Super fascinating video- well done!

[@studyingantiquities2657]

This is really interesting! I'm hoping to do an archaeology unit when I do my degree

[@oxlMiaowlxo]

I didn’t expect to find this topic very interesting but it really was :) great video!

[@avadavies240]

Super interesting. This sounds like my kind of thing.. thanks!

[@koresu60]

i love all these videos, they are so interesting and I look forward to them every day :) please keep them up ! :D

[@emma-lucilleblayney4214]

This is so interesting!! Thank you Rosie xx

[@bedroomsoliloquies]

I love this so much! I'm interested in Forensic Anthropology and the likes so this was incredibly cool to watch and learn. It also inspired me to finally start a Future Learn course on forensic facial reconstruction I had saved ages ago and all the things you covered, Rosie, came up in the basics and I was granted the chance to smugly go "I knew this!" :D Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and passion with us, it is very much appreciated!

[@thestudytubeproject5210]

I've just started a course on Future Learn too, on Forensic Archaeology and Anthropology! It's what my MSc is going to be in next year :) Rosie x

[@bedroomsoliloquies]

@@thestudytubeproject5210 I'm taking that course as well! Haven't had the time to really dig in, but I'm very excited about it. I hope you enjoy it! :D

[@jessicachristina9978]

loved the video!

[@sshah_4]

So interesting! The pores on the skull creeped me out a bit though hahaha

[@beththornton]

This was actually so so interesting!! thank you so much

[@rahmahmohamed1598]

This was really interesting!!!

[@speaksofluid5502]

SO interesting!

[@danblessinger9106]

Thank you!

[@savant472]

That is so interesting !!!

[@melissramos9493]

Can you please do a live stream or video about student finance, what to do and what not to do? Please. I haven't applied yet for student finance and really need advice from other students' experience. Thank you so much.

[@thestudytubeproject5210]

Helloo, Rosie here, if you are a UK student in year 13 then student finance is open right now. You should be applying sooner rather than later (as in asap). The Student Finance England website is pretty straight forward from what I can remember but you will need to ask parents to help with their earnings and things like that if possible.

[@lifewithdylan]

ima put this in my dissertation

[@thestudytubeproject5210]

Oh heeey! What's your diss on?? Hope it's going well, Rosie :)

[@uwantedausernamebutitwasmedio]

What if the bone is from a prehistoric age? will it still have the same characteristics and differences?

[@nim_19]

❤️❤️❤️ this is so interesting!!

[@elleh7916]

YESSSS SO EXCITED!!!!!!

[@ninaandianfan21]

Touching my face all throughout this video 🙊but other than that definitely liking this video 😅😅😅

[@thestudytubeproject5210]

This sums up how I sat through every lesson on the subject at undergrad lol - Rosie

[@calebdutton5660]

Hey! Was wondering if you have seen the tv show Bones?? I find it really interesting and cool but I’m sure to some extent it is inaccurate in its depiction of archaeology

[@TheHollyChronicle]

#skullsareawesomeclub

[@EvaMarieJenkins]

Where can I find your video on your dissertation?

[@ameliapc3943]

boo

[@ellieoberstein4172]

My skeleton just jumped out my bod
