She is so passionate about the topic, wonderful presentation!
Helen's lecture presentation was great for the lay person like me, fantastic!
I think this is the way a presentation on a scientific subject, to the lay audience should be. I hope speakers would emulate Helen Scales.
Thank you so much .Lots of information in just one presentation.
Aristotle is remarked to have said "No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness." What a brilliantly mad and passionate lecture.
You're never far from a mollusc...love it!
Great presentation! Thanks for sharing all the amazing facts.
This was really interesting talk! Thanks a lot!
Those sea snails create impressive houses - each a unique masterpiece. Upon that all this without any lectures about architecture, any tools and without a complex brain. Just amazing.
Hermit Crab cueing hilarious and awesome
Brilliant
Amazing !
GREAT presentation! Learned tons of stuff! Speaker is mesmerizing (very nearly)!
I unwillingly share Ri channel with my friends hoping RI would flourish. I'm greedy of the knowledge I get here.
Wow! wonderful lecture thank you.
Marine biologist named Scales? Very fitting! :-)
How can I reach Helen Scales or Philip Bushey mentioned? Happy to Host both of them for their next visit to Papua New Guinea.. Thanks
Wow hermit crabs are upwardly mobile property prospectors, who knew that!
Redistributing shells for British crabs. Pretty sure that's why Corbyn is so popular. ;)
At 14:12 many of this particular species has an internal shell, it's round and thin.
All picture all in my province in East New Britain Province in Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
if school when I was a kid was as good as this I'd have 10 PHD's today.
See the importance of conch blowing. Hindu spiritual instrument called "Shankh" शंख

Earth 1 true, and I also love her passion
Lol shell trumpet... What it should sound like check in context of Hinduism.. We have had eons of practice to perfect it.
Under the sea with Helen SCALES? HAHAHAHAHA, I'm not buying that.
To bad or seas are fast dying and becoming lifeless trash filled waste dumps :/
Great exposure of marine life....however, there are no "creatures"...in the ocean, or anywhere. There are animals. Let's get the "creation/creatures" ideas out of our language...and our science lectures!
