This video made me remember why I love biology and why I almost dedicated my life to it. The curiosity and passion for how life works on this planet can create the most beautiful research and discoveries. If I’d had a bio teacher like him my senior year of high school, I probably would’ve continued w my plan of zoology.

As a biology major, this video is really cool! Thank you for bringing someone so passionate and that speaks so well!

It's so cool that grass grows the same way that fingernails do, it's almost like the earth is touching us when we walk on it. Also, I was always taught that yawning was a multipurpose tool in the sense that it generates an empathic response in other individuals and it's a good way to see who feels connected to us. Another thing it does is stimulate the tear ducts, generating lubrication for the eyes so if your eyes are dry then your body will produce a yawn which ties into why we yawn when we're tired.

As a biology major this video made me feel sad for not having great professionals as passionate to their jobs as this man!

this guy reminds me of all of my best professors and all the reasons i became a biologist. i love his energy and would love to ever attend a class of his!

Man id love listening to this man talk about this profession. I could listen to him on hours on end

I like how he didn't know what AF stood for. Was told what it was, asked of its okay to say it.

He is so pure

I honestly feel people would learn a lot more in school if every professor/teacher would explain subjects with this kind of passion. Usually I have no interest in biology, but this guy’s demeanor and passion and just how he explained it made the whole topic so much more fascinating. We need more people like him.

He has written a couple of great books.

I would not skip a class if this man was my teacher

I would have liked some insight into the lack of traditional evolutionary pressure in our further evolution. Nevertheless, awesome dude! Had a few professors like him that were willing to share their passion for hours!

Thor is so dynamic and engaging. He's the kind of professor you'd love to have in college when you never wanted to take biology in the first place, the kind who attracts students no matter what they teach.

The ultimate school: All the professors and researchers that WIRED has featured. All of the guests are so passionate about their area that it makes me want to become a major in everything granted that they are the teachers.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one binging on these videos one after another? there's just something so therapeutic about listening to an expert explain their passion

Thank you so much, I really appreciate how happy he seems to be to answer all of these qustions.

His voice is so soothing, I’d never be bored with him as my Biology teacher.

WIRED: Hey would you like to create a Biology Support video This dude: hold on let me grab my entire office

lovee this guy you can tell he loves what he does

thor used to give talks at my tiny little elementary school in the pnw, genuinely one of the smartest and most passionate people i have ever met in my life (and yes, he brought this many props for presentations, too)

Thor? Bro how's that Midgard life treating you lmfao

I love that no matter the question, Thor is considerate in tone without a hint of condescension. This series is such great content.

That is true passion. Not everybody understands that word.

I wish this man was my Biology teacher when I was in high school. He needs his own show!

This man is a gem, the way he talks so enthusiastically and happily answers these questions reminds me of my favorite teachers.

This guy is incredible. I hated biology after 3 years of my degree but a teacher like this would have changed my outlook entirely! Thank you so much for your passion:)

Sadly a lot of teachers for a good 30 years have been rather lack luster, very few seem to actually enjoy their profession. I can only think of a hand full of teachers that made learning actually interesting or I wish I had myself.... Most just droned on reading out of the book hardly seeming to know the material they were teaching.

@@SilvaDreams cuz after through years they seem to stop discovering something new to themselves like in her case "biology", kept repeating the same topic, lessons, etc. for years with no growth will definitely result to that.

I love it whenever people who dont generally frequent the internet enough to learn specific acronyms have a short moment of "whats this mean?" Only to be surprised by the guys in the back. That on top of their passionate display and talk makes them feel more human, cause we humans enjoy learning regardless of what it is we learn

Original comment talks about even like somebody ( the biologist in this case ) who really looks very knowledgable about the stuff he passionate about can still have a moment of confusion about a little things. 12:22 Such as this internet lingo that seems unfamiliar to him. Next to the "ohhhhhh that's what that is" after somebody on the back explain it to him. It makes a sweet moment to like explaining to your parents about these zoomer thingy that seems to captivated them.

I just absolutely know I'd love having this guy as a professor. Just watching his videos makes me want to go take some bio classes!

I love him so much!!! Give this man a show ❤

I only known this man for 20 minutes and I love him already. His voice has the same cadence as David Attenborough so I just find him so wonderfully soothing and fun to listen to with his passion! Thanks for bringing him in, would love to see him back in future!

he seems like such a sweet and fun person to talk to i love him

I could watch him educate all day long. Highly intelligent and a fantastic speaker.

Please please get him back to do more such videos.

I have literally wanted a biology WIRED episode for so long and this really hit the nail on the head! This guy perfectly describes all of the reasons I love studying biology every day.

Man you can hear the passion he has for his field in every word
