Very well done and informative. Especially the fact that you keep these videos short and interesting is what makes them so likeable. Really focused on the viewers attention span. Keep it up!
Great video as always. Have you guys thought of doing a video on something like GMO's or global warming? I feel like your insight into the topic would be pretty great. Keep up the good work
I don't trust anybody is able to make a honest GMO video. Problem is because it is confusing. The pro-GMO held a positive stance; GMO fix problems, while anti-GMO held the negative side of the emotion; fear of bugs & problem. Technically both of them are correct, but a video need emotions and the 'black & white', because without it the video is akin to a babbling.
Not really. Either GMOs are safe or they aren't. And the evidence is overwhelming in their conclusion, GMOs are safe. Hell you eat them all the time and aren't even aware of it. If you ever eaten a yellow banana without any seeds in it, then you ate a GMO.
But the anti-GMO aren't saying that genetically modified organisms are inherently dangerous. They are saying that being able to modify GMOs allow for incredible power that can't really be "foolproofed" - meaning that GMO can also be used for bad. GMO is a tool, and a powerful one at that, but the anti-GMO fear that their uses will be selfish at best, and downright dangerous at worst. And Monsanto just really proves their point with all the stuff they did by putting business profit before anything else. Of course, by "anti-GMO" I'm talking about the people that knows what the process that give birth to GMO are. The "You're just a Monsanto shill that works for big GMO!" people are just plain stupid. That's why the "artificial selection" argument doesn't work on them - artificial selection isn't a direct manipulation of the genome, it's rather an indirect feature selection by selective breeding.
SolarLiner "But the anti-GMO aren't saying that genetically modified organisms are inherently dangerous. " Incorrect, that's exactly what a lot of them are saying. "GMO is a tool, and a powerful one at that, but the anti-GMO fear that their uses will be selfish at best, and downright dangerous at worst. And Monsanto just really proves their point with all the stuff they did by putting business profit before anything else." I don't particularly care if a business is selfish, they are all selfish. I care if their operations do demonstrable harm, and if you want to make claims about their being dangerous then you have to prove them. "That's why the "artificial selection" argument doesn't work on them - artificial selection isn't a direct manipulation of the genome, it's rather an indirect feature selection by selective breeding." It doesn't matter, it's still genetic modification. But how the genes change is irrelevant to whether the product is dangerous. There are plenty of natural organisms that are dangerous. E.coli for example.
Vox you clearly need to do a video about how accents are unrelated to a person's outer appearance judging by the number of commentators surprised by Ed Yong's accent
However, even their videos on other subjects tend to be politically charged. Take the one about house music for instance, in which they try to push this genuinely plural international genre as black american music.
You guys have been creating quality content for quite some time. Hats off to Vox! That last information on poop was not really really necessary to share though😅
How is it possible that Joss manages to look pretty even when she's talking about poop? Must have been awesome for Leeuwenhoek to be the first living creature on earth to see a bacteria and be conscious that he was seeing the small creatures that fill the world.
Good video, but as a Delft citizen I think it fell short on the reason for Van Leeuwenhoek to make the microscope. He was a merchant and by using his device he was able to better judge the quality of wares. This isn't easy for me to say, but one of the greatest inventions in science comes from a hardened business man.
Hi! I've been a fan of your channel and this video was great as usual. My suggestion for a topic would be: dentistry/ dental history. I am a dentist myself and it would be great if your could delve into this subject with your perspective to educate the public. I have found dental history to be fascinating and the way it is evolving into the future. Just a thought. Thanks.
Good explanation as to why light of lower frequency bend more entering glass. As part of the wave already penetrated the glass and slow down, the other part of the wave is still outside. Because the energy of a photon is related to it's frequency, it has to remain constant or decrease to respect the law of conservation of energy. So, only the wavelength can be modified if anything can affect the speed. Many science inspired youtube video incorrectly assume that light can not slow down, so they imagine light as bouncing back and forth between the SiO2 molecules before resuming traveling thru the transparent material. Other imagine the photon absorbed then emitted, which really happen with phosphorescence, but then the new photon is at lower frequency since there is some loss, the angle of the new photon is random, the timing of emission is random and the timing value is many orders of magnitude compared to the time photons go thru transparent materials.
Excelente video que relata la historia del inventor del Microscopio y sus primeros hallazgos que lo convierten como el PADRE DE LA MICROBIOLOGÍA. Sir Antonny Leveanhoek. FELICITACIONES por su trabajo
Great video, you should maybe make a Video with Brady from Objectivity where he shows cool stuff from the Royal Society archives including some of the original letters and lenses mentioned in this video.
not once did this ed yong fella discuss, or even briefly mention, hillary's incriminating emails! i for one am fed up with all this political correct nonsense!!
This video is well edited, but it's too short to be useful. Perhaps turning it into series and adding three or more similarly short videos about this interesting topic might help.
Less liberal/left-wing biased political videos and more scientific videos like this would be greatly appreciated. Videos like this were the reason I subbed to Vox about a year ago.
Question: why ancient western guy always has that quirky curly long perm hair? Do they wash their hair on a daily basis or at least twice a week? How they maintain their hair so curly like that all the time? I want to know 😗
Every time I see this video pop up in my recommendations, I always think the scientist on the front is using an eyelash curler for some reason. I've never even seen an eyelash curler in real life, yet my brain immediately thinks this -_-
maybe you should do a video on opiate drugs, more specifically on morphine and how ii was disc, it quite an interesting story. Or maybe how taking antibiotics to treat mundane things can be bad for your immune system.
"first illustration of bacteria in 1784"...how could that be? van Leeuwenhoek lived from 1632 -1723...and first sight of bacteria by him was 1675 or 1683 wether you talk about what he found in water or his saliva...
How did the Pilgrims purposely give Native Americans "infected" blankets 50 years before the first person ever saw microbes? Quote; "It would be 2 more centuries before microbes were linked to disease..." OK, make that 250 years. That's what I get for having Howard Zinn as my Science Teacher. .
What would a lump of pure bacteria look like? Would it have a color? What about viscosity? Would you see it moving because the bacteria are moving on top of other moving bacteria which are in tern moving on top of other bacteria, etc?
I thought the guy in the thumbnail was curling his lashes
Let me be your first reply.
Erickouhai congratulations
Hahahhahah
He was, purrr
I never really understand how light bend on magnifier until I saw this video, your explanation was dope! Thank you Vox!
Same here, i never even thought about it.
I did as level physics and it just clicked.

Agreed!

"Little animals" is probably the best and cutest way to describe bacteria in my opinion.
Leeuwenhoek called them "animalcules," which is basically the same thing, but one rather nice word.
@@jennetwildy2557 Jennet you clearly know WAY more than I do about this, but thanks for the background! 😎
That animation of light, and how it changes direction was absolute genius.
As a microbiologist, I enjoyed watching this! Thanks Joss and team for coming up with this!
Y’all are the epitome of learning for ppl like me with hella adhd, the way y’all explain things and provide perfect visuals is just nuts

Stop saying "Y'all" and stop watching Vox.

"He looked at his semen" just gunna casually continue and not act like that wasn't a little bit weird
It seems he was clearly focused on all the biological fluids -- blood, saliva, so why not sperm?

The best about Vox is the graphics and animations in their videos. Their production quality is A+.
I can imagine this guy look and cells for the first time and said "now let's look at my seamen".
Jeez, this brings me back to 8th grade science, the only reason I remember because I hated my science teacher for that year.

i didn't want to say anything, but... yeah. we can't ignore that. -joss
@@Vox hi vox! Pretty sure u didn’t expect a reply To a four year old reply. Bye!
why are Dutch scientists so underrated? in the time van Leeuwenhoek lived the Dutch scientific community thrived.
Joss Fong, love majority of the videos she produces/helps making. more of her.
I just love this short science "documentary", and narrations is on point!
Fong's videos are consistently the best on this channel.
Very well done and informative. Especially the fact that you keep these videos short and interesting is what makes them so likeable. Really focused on the viewers attention span. Keep it up!
Interesting vid as always! I love Joss's voice too :-)
everything about her, is lovely.
Which software do you guys use to make the video animations?
Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop :)
+Vox Do more videos on hip hop
Hmm good question i was also wondering
+Vox After Effects. You fancy huh?
Fancy? After Effects is the industry standard for infographics and other animations like these.

These anti trump videos are getting more and more subtle, Vox.
Are you calling this video anti-trump? You might need to check your hearing and vision
You must be fun to be around.
Lol, you dropped your tinfoil hat.

I wish Joss was my Science teacher when I was a kid :P She makes everything so much more interesting!
She makes the best videos! I've loved everyone so far.
Joss Fong videos always fascinate me, well done!
This is one of my favourite video, simple and straight to the point.
This, this right here, is the content I subscribed for! Spot on, Vox!
I learn more in these 5 minute video than I do in 180 days of school
This is a wonderful example of a brief, expository video. Superb presenter with great insights, interesting subject, and nice graphics. 5 minutes.
These are way better than anything Discovery channel currently has.
Blame the ceo and rating agency that rate the tv shows.
Absolutely love these videos
