A quick anecdote that Emily really has inspired someone: I went to my local museum (the RMSC) recently and got to photograph their passenger pigeon specimens which I found out is the largest collection of passenger pigeons in the world. Never have I cared about pigeons or birds on sticks until I watched the brain scoop and now I’m even the president of my school’s environmental club. So yeah. Thanks Emily.
Emily is such a huge inspiration, you don't even know how much it meant to me to find out she started as an artist who was bad at science- that's me, I'm an art major, I've always been bad at science, but I think it's so cool. Emily gives me hooooope.
There are lots of things you can do that are related to science, but don't involve the actual nitty gritty of research. Science communication and public engagement are just examples of those. :D
You see, "What would that wolf look without skin?" is the first place my brain takes me. Thankyou Brainscoop. I am now an amateur entomologist (Easier than scooping roadkill off the road).
Nivedita Tewary it's not the first place my mind goes, but when someone else shows me I'm like "OH FUCK THAT'S AWESOME I never would have thought to look, thanks for showing me!"
I’m SOOOO glad that the interviewer (Mr. Degrasse-Tyson) is of the scientific field and knows how to approach sciences he might not be as familiar with as the interviewee. And he’s so respectful. And he’s awesome. And he’s a badass, but so is Emily!
Emily has such a good channel and is such an inspiration to me. Her channel helped me remember my love for history and science and inspired me to want to work at a museum.
I can only answer for myself, but, "are the viewers also the explorers?" That depends on how the video is taken and the host interacts with the environment and the audience. In The Brain Scoop videos, I feel like I'm also the explorer, because her genuine curiosity and attention to detail bring you in. The same thing happens with one urban explorer I watch. Every time I'm watching a video and think "I wonder what's in that cupboard" or "does that piano still work?" the explorer almost immediately says the same thing and tests it out, so it feels like I'm there and I'm the one doing the exploring and experiencing the place. "Will videos get people off the couch?" It works for me. When my sister first suggested we do a road trip from Alberta to New York, my first thought was "I can stop at the Field Museum!" Without the Brain Scoop, I never would have heard of it or known how amazing it would be to visit. Every time I watch a video on paleontology in Alberta, or on the Royal Tyrrell Museum, it makes me want to go back to Drumheller. If you have any curiosity left in you, seeing a video of something cool will make you want to visit the place or try the thing.
Thank you interviewing her! I have loved watching The Brain Scoop since her wolf dissection days, and it has genuinely encouraged my excitement for natural history. I was always interested in it, but have never had a course that really inspired the interest before the way The Brain Scoop did. Now I'm pursuing it at university and have an amazing time everyday in class thanks to Emily's channel.
She does an amazing job at inspiring others, and exposing people to new opportunities, her shows are addicting...and I'm sure there are lots that eventually have to leave their couch in order to try out these opportunities for themselves!
Emily, if you never posted your dissections, I don't know when or where I ever would have gotten that experience. Plus now I know to look out for a natural history museum do my kids can maybe have that experience first hand. Thank you do much Emily Graslie!
Growing up in Chicago Field museum is my favorite place to go!! I asked to go there for my birthday a few years ago and loved it can't wait to go back!
I can definitely attest to the fact that watching episodes of The Brain Scoop et al. got me excited about visiting natural history museums, which is now something I do whenever I'm in a new city that has one. Stay curious!
You'd be surprised to know how many small city museums have a (small) NH collection. Some time ago, I was in the small museum of Dundalk, Ireland, which was very interesting. STAM in Ghent, Belgium, is also very impressive. But sometimes, you need scale to do the work you want to do.
Scale is important. your could have the best collection of local life but if it is small it may cost to much for a researcher to study or even to much time to come and study.
Oh museums should totally put stuff from their collections online. I wanna see it, but I may not have the ability to go to the museum. It's going to make me want to go to the museum hard core but if I don't have the money, or I live to far or what ever, the stuff online is the next best thing, and also the best ad for the museum!
Hey, so I just wanted to say a thing about the notion of inspiring folks to explore. It wasn't too long after I started watching the brain scoop that I got into vulture culture. That is to say people who have an urge to preserve and explore the natural world through dead things. I skinned a raccoon (it got hit by a car or lightrail train, not sure which) and I still have his skull. I've kept the skulls of dead rats I found at work and roadkill deer. I even have a video of a leopard slug eating venison off of that skull while I was cleaning it and through that process I did some research to learn about the parasites I found in that doe's head and now I know more about the relationship between botflies and whitetail deer. I hope that one day I will be able to share or donate my personal collection, but they are useful teaching tools for the people in my life. Curiosity inspires curiosity.
The Brain Scoop is directly responsible for my decision to take my family to the Fields Museum. I had no interest in science museums before I found that RUclips channel.
I disagree on the standard test thing. Sort of, not much. I'm Russian, and when I was at school, we didn't have multiple choice tests or any of that kind, we had regular "control works" which are same tasks we did for homework and at class, only the teacher watches that everyone solves them without any help. And that's how my parents and their parents were taught. No standardized tests, most of them prepared by the teacher and that take time to check because they are not simplified. Teachers traditionally paid more attention to real schooling in USSR than to numerical rating (it seems it was better before than now, today's Russian education is of low quality). And yet people did lose their curiosity. Although I do agree that the less personal school gets, the more you seem to need to study just to pass tests, the less kids actually are curious about what they study. You do need to understand, to rate somehow how well they acquire what is taught, but often the purpose of education is lost in the flood of constant grading and quantifying, and seeming necessity for the teacher to have class looking good, able to pass those tests. I had a B at maths on most tests. I understood math PERFECTLY, to me it was clear as sun in the sky on a cloudless day, but I was not very attentive to details, I made silliest mistakes by not writing minus sign, for example. I should have had A++ for maths and C for attention to details.
Let's not forget that some people physically cannot get off the couch. Physically handicapped, those with illnesses, elderly, etc. While they may never visit a museum, it's wonderful that they would have access to science in this capacity.
I agree. Was thinking of those who are on heavy machinery to stay alive, those who don't have a special vehicle or staff to take them. Then there are the shut in's or those dealing with daily sickness that makes them really tired or not feeling good in general. Something for everyone.
5:00 *THIS* is why science has it's strongest critics in the United States. Few Americans have any concept of what science is. Most think it's a collection of facts made up by scientists. In some cases Americans think that it is a conspiracy to kill religion. If a scientific fact conflicts with their religious teachings, they are faced with a choice of choosing one over the other, and they lack the tools to make that choice properly. It really just comes down to what feels better., Until we start teaching science properly again, rather than a collection of facts to learn for the test, we will never again be a world power.
I will never forget the moment where in high school I asked a question in chemistry class and the teacher was like; "I don't know. And I don't think even science in general knows the answer to that..". It was the first time I realised that there is so much that we as a species simply don't know (yet).
That doesn't mean religion has the answers that science lacks. Religion just makes up answers, and like most made up answers, they are unlikely to be the correct answers.
Sorry, I did the unfortunate "knee jerk" post. Your statement, "Science doesn't have all the answers" comment is one so commonly used by religious people. I'm just making the point that religion doesn't have ANY answers.
Haha, religion doesn't have objective answers, but it does have answers. In this case, what I was saying is that there's many questions science doesn't yet have an answer to. Not because those questions are impossible to answer but because either nobody thought to ask it or nobody assigned the necessary resources to answer it.
One thing that Neil said made me a bit sad. He talked about the dioramas at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. They are gone. I saw them as a kid, but the last time i was there, they took them out and all of the animals are coldly displayed in glass cases. Wonder whose bright idea that was?
Emily is right about the 1st person experience. You can see a video of a tiger, let's say. You can even see a video that gives you some perspective about how big it is next to a human. But, you really can't fully appreciate that perspective until you're the human in the comparison.
No matter how much I like Neil he CAN NOT BE the next Cosmos Host! You need to wait 20 years, at least, and pass the baton to someone else! Thus is the nature of science
Ride At Dawn channels like this don't have fans of the channel, they have fans of technology. Some people love NJT so they see this and instantly click it. But if they upload a vid about something they don't like/have a huge interest in, they won't click it. Tech insider also uploads multiple times a day and most people can't keep up
Is a wolf without skin more than naked? Think if a person with no clothes is naked, would they be even MORE naked without skin (aside from being dead of course)

Same! It's because of Emily that I decided to start my bachelor in Biology after majoring in Illustration.

Still has brains on it. :)
Awesome interview. Emily is so excited about natural history that it's hard not to get excited too. Thanks for sharing!
Two of my favorite online science advocates/communicators in one video! Great!
You see, "What would that wolf look without skin?" is the first place my brain takes me. Thankyou Brainscoop. I am now an amateur entomologist (Easier than scooping roadkill off the road).

At one point in the interview Emily was so eloquent and passionate I actually started crying.
wtf, me. but also, yay!

Update: I visited the Field Museum, and it was an amazing good time.

I absolutely went to my local natural history museum because I was inspired by the Brain Scoop.
This was pure. Genuinely just good content in all aspects, thank you for sharing this with us!
She does an amazing job at inspiring others, and exposing people to new opportunities, her shows are addicting...and I'm sure there are lots that eventually have to leave their couch in order to try out these opportunities for themselves!
Dani G tbh someone who doesn't leave their couch after watching the brain scoop is someone who was never going to.

The world needs more Emily!!
Emily inspires curiosity.

brain scoop is a wicked good show
Emily is so awesome. I learn so much from her.
Emily got me to visit my nearest natural history museum, she is awesome.
Emily is the best!! 🙌🏽
I LOVE THE BRAIN SCOOP.
THE BRAIN SCOOP IS THE BEST.
She's so damn cool.
Awesome as always!
This is gold....
Emily is awesome. Her passion is uncanny
omg i need hours of this
She is so right about the American education today.
If only every city had a natural history museum.
Darcy Kahler yet another reason to have online access to science.

Emily Grasile and Neil De Grasse Tyson May be some of the most amazing people to have ever lived. certainly that I have ever known. Bravo!
Great interview!

Congrats Emily
You got to love Emily ...
Woohoo 100th comment. I love thw brain scoop so much. I wished they went back to their sort of basics and did more "au naturale" skinning videos
Let's not forget that some people physically cannot get off the couch. Physically handicapped, those with illnesses, elderly, etc. While they may never visit a museum, it's wonderful that they would have access to science in this capacity.
Luckily, most museums are perfectly accessible for the handicapped. It's great to see how they really want people to interact.
I agree. Was thinking of those who are on heavy machinery to stay alive, those who don't have a special vehicle or staff to take them. Then there are the shut in's or those dealing with daily sickness that makes them really tired or not feeling good in general. Something for everyone.
"turn over that rock" -shows a picture of a scorpion
I once found a copperhead when turning over a rock... Sometimes it might be wise to use a stick to turn over the rock..
Great!

cool video
When I have kids, I want to be like Emily as a parent.
The Museum gives you context it's one thing to view a mammoth skelton on RUclips . It's quite another to stand by one.
"Dead wolf fleas necropspy!" Now there is a head line for you!
Congratulations, Emily! Interviewed by NDT himself!

Free agent Graslie now! Is there any team strong enough to take her on?

3:30 They should not have left it so close to the sheep room.
Lol Neil works for THE Museum, Emily works for The Other Museum, and they're just hanging out, so cute.
love the brains scoop.. but they should scoop more brains 🤓
If we ever find life on another planet, the first thing we're going to do is dissect it
