  • Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA

    We've been hearing about DNA since the third grade, and we all know that it's a double helix with little ladder rungs. But now we are ready to understand this molecule on a more fundamental level, which will enable to us to understand how this molecule can serve as the genetic code. Let's see what nucleic acids are all about!

  • Transcription and Translation: From DNA to Protein

    Ok, so everyone knows that DNA is the genetic code, but what does that mean? How can some little molecule be a code that makes a single cell develop into a giraffe, or a monkey, or Tony Danza? Within this clip lie the answers, child! It's all about transcription and translation.

  • Amphibian Diversity Part 2: Order Anura (Frogs)

    We've covered two orders within class Amphibia, so now let's move on to the third, the order Anura. This contains all of the frogs. There are so many different kinds of frogs! Some of them do fascinating things. Let's learn all about them.

  • Receptors: Signal Transduction and Phosphorylation Cascade

    Did you know that cells can talk to one another? One cell can send a molecule over to another cell, and a receptor protein in the cell membrane will receive it, just like molecular walkie-talkies. Check it out!

  • What is a Crime? (The Six Types of Crimes)

    In this series we are going to learn all about crime scene investigation. But we must first understand precisely what crimes are. What does it mean to say that someone has committed a crime? What are the types of crime that can be committed? There's more to it than you think!

  • Kent Hovind is Still Grifting!

    Would you believe me if I told you that Kent Hovind is still alive, and still running the same pathetic grifter script? It's true. Jail time can't keep this guy down. Tax evasion, wife beating, pedophile-enabling be damned! He's gotta get the word out about Jesus and that evil demonic religion of evolution. Join me in mocking this turd sandwich as he's interviewed by some guy named George Janko. There's some funny stuff in here.

  • Structure Of The Cell Membrane: Active and Passive Transport

    What is it that separates what's inside a cell from what's outside of a cell? Why, that's the cell membrane. What's it made out of? How does it work? How do molecules get in and out of the cell? These are super-important concepts! Let's take a look.

  • Symmetries in Particle Physics

    One of the most important concepts in particle physics is symmetry. And this goes way deeper than just thinking about simple reflections. There are abstract symmetries that are directly responsible for fundamental conservation laws. There are also thinks called gauge symmetries. Let's get a closer look!

  • Lipids Part 2: Steroids

    Steroids have gotten a pretty bad rap! In reality, they're not just the big bad anabolic steroids. This class of molecules includes many vitamins as well as cholesterol. Cholesterol has also gotten a bad rap! We need cholesterol for our cell membranes to be rigid enough to stay intact, and for our bodies to build other important molecules. What I'm saying is that you should watch all of these tutorials, and don't believe everything you hear around town about molecules!

  • Fingerprint Development on Challenging Surfaces

    Sometimes developing fingerprints at a crime scene is trivial, while sometimes it's extremely challenging. Did you know that we can even retrieve fingerprints from wet surfaces? It's true. Let me tell you all about it.
