I love how biologists, when collecting leeches are totally fine, even excited in Emily's case, to use themselves and their own blood as bait. that is serious dedication to your craft.
Getting to go behind the scenes of the Smithsonian?! You have an awesome job. 12 phyla of worms? I had no idea. Wonderfully informative video as always.
I once was hunting for frogs as a small child and got covered and leaches from the waist down. Everyone in the campground thought I was being murdered as I screamed while my legs streamed blood as my mom salted them all off. It was horrific. Surprisingly, instead of being a batman with bats like childhood trauma it totally desensitized me to them, now I just think they’re neat.
We've been on a bit of a break- I'm working on a big [big big] side project that we hope to announce soon into the new year, then there was some construction in our studio space-- but we've got two more videos filmed at the Smithsonian's NMNH that we'll post in the coming weeks!
at 7:00, the picture shown is wrong. Those aren't true worms, they are the dipteran fly larvae that are commonly used as aquarium fish food or bait. They belong to the family Chironomidae, and turn into a sort of midge as adults.
one of the last times i herd from you, you where talking about danger noodles (snakes) with hank on dear hank and john and now you're talking about worms or not as much danger noodles. iv'e never been so excited to hear someone talk about worms, really glad to see you back!
I'd never seen that footage of those massive marine worms!! Amazing! Clearly, there is a need for an entire wildlife documentary series on worms, with an episode for each Phylum. Also, where have you been?! I feel like it's been forever since the last video, and no recent podcasts either...
Another brilliant video Brain Scoop crew,I always find out something fascinating on this channel! Also, thanks to you enthusing me on Natural History, I've just been accepted into university to study Palaeontology! I'm so excited and can't wait to someday work in such cool museum environments as you and all the people you talk to do! Thanks Brain Scoop!
:D I've been waiting for another video!!! This is just as nerdy, goofy, and wonderful as I was expecting. A bit wormier, but I'm not about to complain since we got to see those sick dance moves!! Thanks for the fun and all the knowledge again @thebrainscoopTeam!
I hearted this because I'm glad our videos can bring you a little joy but I am so sorry to hear things haven't been going well for you. :( I'm hoping things turn around for you soon.
I miss your videos so much guys!!, And it cannot be more on time, tomorrow i have a identification test about invertebrates. Thank you for all the content!!!
I had no idea worms were so dang cool! *Sidenote* I'm in Chicago for Thanksgiving, and I convinced my family to take a visit to the Feild Museum, is there anything specific I should check out when I'm there??
go see the striped hyena diorama in the Mammals of Asia hall! and the temporary exhibits (Antarctic Dinosaurs and Mummies) are beauuuuuutiful. we've also done videos on the panda Su Lin, the 4 Seasons deer diorama by Akeley, meteorites in the cases on the 2nd floor~ my favorite specimen is the opalized vertebrae of a plesiosaur in the Hall of Gems- so many things!
I loved this video, when I was studying biology I remember that in my invertebrates' course we saw at the same time annelids and mollusks, and both were fascinating; back then I had seen all the other worms; but that was the point I was expecting, I couldn't believe the similarities between annelids and mollusks, specially in the first parts of their development, but mollusks won my heart and now I'm thinking on starting a Master with a related topic.
Fun fact UPenn Vet school had there parasitology final practical the other day and both Taenia and macroacanthhyncus hyrudinicus were on it (needless to say 90% of us could not spell the name out for the thorny headed worm and we are all very bitter about it)
I probably spent 10 minutes spell-checking that genus name yesterday on a final screener for this video and I had the correct spelling in front of me the entire time. it's a tricky one folks
Not many things I can’t stomach but worms are one of them. Ever since one episode of csi and that one time I stood on a slug bare foot I can’t stand worms and things with no legs. But I watched this and I’m proud of myself and learnt some cool worm stuff
Pre Thanksgiving surprise. Glad to see you posting again. If your going to do more with the Smithsonian please try and do one with Dr. William Fitzhugh.
Good to see another video from you. My family doesn’t appreciate my taste in videos, though. I had a conversation that went like this: F: Can you help me with this? Me: Sure, just let me pause this video I’m watching on- F: Don’t tell me! Me: -worms. F: I didn’t want to know.
A testament to how much I love Emily and The Smithsonian that I'm even watching this. I'm on my lunch break, and I have leftover spaghetti. God help me.
Some giant earthworms, kinds which look pretty much how we imagine a worm to be, rather than all the leggedy things in the video, can reach up to 3 metres in length. That's 10 feet!
funny thing about the starfish comment is that starfish are actually closer related to us than most other animals since they belong to Chordata's major sister phyla, the Echinoderms, along with sea urchins, sea cucumbers, brittle stars and crinoids.
I'm not a fan of the word "worm" (just the word - I'm fine with the critters) but this was fantastic! Blows my mind how many species there are/could be.
Velvet worms or Onychophora are apart of the group panarthropod making them more closely related to arthropods that to the worms that is was grouped with.
I was searching for the leech dance, and got a hit on a painter called Raymond Leech. Also, would love to see a Balanoglossus gigas or a member of the Torquaratoridae (both of them acorn worms (hemichordata)).
Oh my gosh I just did a episode how we are still like fish! But seriously squirrles too!? lol good thing we don't have to smell our relatives armpits to recognise them like squirrles do lol what an exciting fact!!!!! I must do research! awesome!!!
Emily, With so many undescribed species, do you think as scientists slowly work on describing them all that the speed with which worms evolve will make it a never-ending task? If not with worms, perhaps with all living organisms? Will we ever catch up?
Also can we talk about how freakin' cool Dr. Phillips is. Her preferred collection method for leeches is to LET THEM ATTACH TO HER BODY.
Cyclic peptides in leech saliva are said to have medicinal benefits
I’m surprised that’s safe. There’s no concern about infection?
@@russellhawkins859 They're approved by the FDA! www.webmd.com/heart/news/20040628/leeches-cleared-for-medical-use-by-fda
Russell Hawkins Yep, leaches don’t really have disease concerns like ticks or mosquitos do.
I was thinking about that! That's so intense. I want to go out and collect leeches now.
I love to watch Emily nerd out with other researchers! It's really charming :-) And it reminds me that its ok to do so :-D
Don't overdo on the Leech Dance, or you might end up feeling drained.
MATTEUS.
Matteus, that was terrible. I loved it!
AHHHHHHHH that was wonderful.
Yeah, after a while it really starts to suck...
I really love Dr. Wormlady! Can't wait for Emily and her to team up again in the upcoming video guide to leechdancing.
A day with a new Brain Scroop episode is always a good day. Glad to see you!
I love you guys XD
i just discovered this channel ive been watching all morning some videos ive watched more than once🙂

For a fun time just try counting how many times we say 'worm' in this video
62
@@H0oxx is that an average of... 13 times a minute then?
@@thebrainscoop Who do maths when you can do the leech dance!?
@@thebrainscoop You should have told her you thought she meant "wyrms" and demanded she show you where they keep all the jars with the dragons in them
Can we have a worm supercut? Wormpercut?
I have yet to find a more thoroughly entertaining and informative channel. Emily, you are a delight to watch and learn from!

That face that Emily made when the worm expert said "giant leech" more than earned the thumbs-up I gave to this video!
So, Grandma Moses was also Grandpa Moses!!
"Boy. I like dabbing. Is that what the people say?" So relatable.
I am not cool.

In ancient times, the word worm/wurm/wyrm included snakes, and even mythical beasts like dragons. Ultimate in paraphyletic terminology, eh?
god this is the bravest person you've ever interviewed, I could not just wade into a river and hop around waiting for leeches to bite me
I would totally be a worm scientist. I'mma start right now with the gummy varieties. 😋
arguably the most delicious variety, also the only socially acceptable ones to eat
thebrainscoop And if I recall correctly you did a segment on candy taxonomy. Looks like a good place for Shyni to start: the taxonomy of gummy worms.
That's the only one I want to be around.
My 2 year old and I just thoroughly enjoyed your work.
Have I been missing BrainScoop vids or has it been a while?
We've been on a bit of a break- I'm working on a big [big big] side project that we hope to announce soon into the new year, then there was some construction in our studio space-- but we've got two more videos filmed at the Smithsonian's NMNH that we'll post in the coming weeks!

No joke, I have a Phobia of worms. I’m amazed that I made it through the video despite hiding behind my pillow
Like for the bravery, not for having a phobia.
im glad you were open minded enough to watch
This was a great video, and I love the leech dance. I had no clue there were so many worms!! Amazing.

Sat down to eat my natto and up popped a video on worms. Perfect timing!
I haven't had natto but I would try it at least once. I like soybeans, so having them after they've fermented can't be that much of a leap...right?
@@Dragontongue18 I found them disappointingly fine. A bit of a smell but no worse than aged cheeses, and the flavour is bland. Its nice on warm rice.
@@OddLeah Try it with soy sauce and mustard mixed in. That's where the flavor is at.
@@vikio452 I use the tiny packets that come with it, and eat the natto over warm rice. Its quite pleasant.

Anna: "Just imagine what it eats!"
Emily: _suddenly terrified_
I’m terrified of worms, but I have to say, this video helped me to feel slightly more comfortable with them. Knowledge can be comforting!
:D I've been waiting for another video!!! This is just as nerdy, goofy, and wonderful as I was expecting. A bit wormier, but I'm not about to complain since we got to see those sick dance moves!! Thanks for the fun and all the knowledge again @thebrainscoopTeam!
I just found a Eunicid worm in my reef aquarium three days ago. This is so well timed.
what!!! how does that work?!
This was an awesome video! I really enjoy the ones you do on less typical, but also very commonplace, subjects!
Cool video!!!!! Still can't believe there are so many worms living in different segments of the world, it's so freaking amazing!!! Loved the content
No pun intended
When I hear worms, I think Peter Pettigrew. Just me?
Corporis Nope🤣🤣
my life has been so awful recently and when i saw this video i smiled for the first time in weeks, thanks for creating such fun informative content.
I hearted this because I'm glad our videos can bring you a little joy but I am so sorry to hear things haven't been going well for you. :( I'm hoping things turn around for you soon.
Thanks for being awesome Emily! Just listened to the NDQ podcast and it was great! Keep up your great work.
This helped me get over my (very irrational) fear of worms. I don’t know how i got it because I loved playing with worms as a kid.
Oh, worm?
I was Waiting for someone to do this
LMAAOOOO
I miss your videos so much guys!!, And it cannot be more on time, tomorrow i have a identification test about invertebrates. Thank you for all the content!!!

This was s really fun episode and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love when your fellow researchers are excited and have fun with their work. Awesome!

omg this Dr. Anna J. Phillips is freaking amazing
Perfect to watch with my morning coffee. I'm so excited!
Your shows are always a true delight! ♡♡♡
Bobbits are my worst nightmare
"Worms" are such a diverse and successful form of animal. Way more interesting and bizarre than people give them credit for.
