I wanna thank you Emily and the Brianscoop team! Brainscoop helped me realize that I love museums and that I want to have a career in them. Since I started watching your channel last year I've managed to work through my college at two different fantastic museums, one of which is a natural history museum! Museums are so amazing, I learn something new every day! I am so excited for my future in this amazing field!! Thanks for inspiring me and for everything you do!
My small tarantula collection has helped many people to not only be less scared, but also educated them on many things they didnt know about arachnids, ie different silk for different jobs, the silk is liquid in their sack, they dont liquify the whole meal, the outside is discarded like an empty juice box, and many other interesting facts. That makes me happy.
Whew! This is a welcome video from Emily! Just this week I started wondering if UA-cam was hiding The Brain Scoop from my feed or if it had just been a while since the last posting. So I'm glad to see a new video and look forward to the promised stuff coming up.
well Emily mentioned that she liked to hear cool stuff we learn about animals so here's one- I work with California condors and read somewhere that birds don't fart because of a lack of the proper gastrointestinal bacteria. So I asked my boss if condors farted and he wasn't sure, so I asked one of the lead vets at the San Diego zoo and he wasn't sure either. So i asked the lead condor keeper at the LA zoo and he said that they have silent but deadly farts that will clear a room. It's not exactly a true study but I will continue to gather anecdotal evidence because this is a very important question that needs to be answered. SCIENCE
I've seen videos on UA-cam of birds doing super-derpy looking courtship dances, and it always makes me think that dinosaurs must have done the same thing. I want to see a CGI video of two T Rexes or deinonychuses doing an (of course theoretical) derpy mating dance with one another like hooded grebes do or something. I know it sounds weird, but we always see dinosaurs in these bad-ass poses where they're ripping one another apart, and we forget that they probably did dorky stuff when they were trying to get laid, like every other animal on Earth. Of course, the CGI pooping is pretty awesome, too. AND YOU STILL NEED TO VISIT THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE!
I’m a relatively new fan but I LOVE this channel!! I’m a teenager and beginner taxidermist and your videos are funny, informative and attention-holding. I love you and the work you do, please keep it up !!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I am so glad my son stumbled upon your wolf dissection video years ago, he was 4 and fell in love with watching you and now I have too! One day we will come to Chicago (and maybe try and get an autograph!).
Those are such good questions! I remember how much you inspired me at the beggining of my bachelor and how much I wanted to work as a researcher in a museum. Now I finished and I am in a different career pathway, but working towards conservation anyway. I love how eager to learn you are and I love your videos so much!
Intrigued OG Brain Scoop fan here! And I can't believe I missed the Sue poop when I was at the new Sue exhibit! Clearly another visit is in order ASAP!
I just remembered watching the first episode ever, I think when John Green tweeted about it, and subscribing right away, and now the show has almost 500,000 subscribers... That makes me emotional. It couldn't have happened to a cooler show or a nicer host.
All milk glands are a highly modified form of sweat gland! Platypuses (and, if I recall correctly, other monotremes,) have more basal distributions of these milk glands - instead of having highly productive and concentrated milk glands that output through nipples, they have these patches of bald skin that secrete milk called milk patches! Like sweat, but more delicious to platypus puggles. (Yes, their babies are called puggles!) Biology is really dang neat sometimes.
It's alive!!! Great to find a new Brainscoop video in my inbox. Now for my question, when can we expect a return to regular video uploads? Really miss the channel.
Excellent Work Emily !!! Nice to see you and am really glad to hear that you have more videos coming soon. You and your crew do outstanding work and need to be encouraged to keep doing what you do so well.
Knowing we live in the same city brings me so much joy. Fun fact: you spoke to a class one of my friends was in a couple years ago and I was so jealous.
This channel has been a godsend!! I absolutely love earth science and evolutionary biology and plan to major in it when I start college this fall. Emily, I absolutely enjoy your videos❤❤❤ and I completely relate to what you said at 8:29 to 8:54!
Was excited to see this video in my subscription box! Been watching since the beginning and it's so cool to see how the brain scoop/your career has changed and grown over time. Hope you're doing well! Thanks for all the great videos over the years. :)
If you mess up a little at prepping the odds are that the person who can fire you is not as good at prepping as you are and won't know the difference. Besides, it's something you get better at each time you do it, so they won't give you a one-of-a-kind specimen as the first one you work on. They'll keep that one frozen until you're more than good enough to handle it. If you're better at it than the rest of the staff they won't even notice.
OG fan... OH SNAP!! you left me all out on a cliff!!! My house seriously misses you when you’re gone too long from UA-cam. Where else can we find you?? #emilyeveryday
GOING BACK TO VISIT THE O. G. PEEPS!!!! CAN NOT WAIT!!! At least I hope that's what it means!! Ooo I hope there's a Hank Green involved too!!! "A new battle begins for these long time friends and rivals!"
Man, I want a Moldarama video. Those machines hold a place in my heart... and on my arm... moldarama dinosaur tattoos are highly underrated. But seriously. A video on the moldaramas!
yeeessss! A new brain scoop video! I really like everything you guys create with a passion. Are you by any chance thinking of doing new podcast episodes too? I am looking forward to your new videos, keep up the good work! Best wishes from Holland
I'm so excited for new videos! So far, I've loved every single one I've seen and I think I've seen them all. One non-museum-related question: Where do you get your awesome shirts from?
So wished I had known about this earlier. My question is: in order to determine an accurate weight of an extinct animal can we use fossilized trackways and figure out the water saturation of the soil at the time the track was made, then use computer or physical models to gauge how much force was used then calculate that force into weight? That way animals like Sue won’t have their weight estimated between 5,000 and 32,000 lbs.
Okay, so the content was great, and I know this is not the point of the video, but wow Emily, those ear chains are so rad. I could hardly take my eyes off them.
This channel helped me rediscover my love for science and discover for the first time my interest in specimen prep. Who knew you could do this stuff for a living! My career path has completely changed thanks to a UA-cam show about the BTS of natural history museums :) Question: How can I, a high school student, start early with specimen prep? What do I need to study?
Our home in Australia used to have swarms of Christmas beetles covering every window of our home every holiday season, back in the 90s, when our area was still rural. Now there are zero! None! And the surrounding areas have all been heavily developed. Their golden shells used to make Christmas seem more festive and the lights on our home would attract them and they'd swarm along to the blinking of Christmas lights. Along with mantids, stick insects, large beetles and mole crickets, the christmas beetles are among the insects and bugs that have completely disappeared and I fear for the biodiversity of the area. A walk through the nearby bushland yields almost no insect life, even during spring. Only the occasional ant and termite nest, and the sound of cicadas. I know for sure that this is mostly man-made impact. Makes me sad about the future of other species. We are losing our insects, people!
When speaking as a guest, for say, the You and Me This Morning video among other examples of talking as a guest, how were you treated? Were there any things that stood out to you?
"Sue is incredibly dead", but she lives on in our hearts
Mostly Dead, Dead, and Incredibly Dead
Quite sincerely dead.
*but they lives on in our hearts. Don't you dare misgender that dinosaur!
i love that sue has a they-them pronoun!
@@kathrynturner8835 It is absurd.
As an OG brain scoop fan, I'm already jazzed.
OMG I know and follow you
Love your videos
@@rode7916 :O !!
Michael Aranda? A name from some long ago Brain Scoop dream...
AHHH!!💗💗💗 I’ve missed The Brain Scoop so much!!! I’m so freaking happy right now!!!

See notification for "Ask Emily" ... instant click.
With respect to Sue ... maybe she is just camera shy?
Yeah, maybe just a classic introvert. Have you considered conducting the interview via email?
the "Many" bit about Sue's poop killed me 😂
I didn't know how much I was missing The Brain Scoop until I saw this come up in my queue.
"I like your dinosaurs...oh, she can't hear me..." -my wife speaking to Emily on TV.

I hope the surprise is Emily going back to the Montana museum
That was a very good video. Since you started The Brain Scoop, you have opened up the museum world to a whole new audience, Emily. Great work.
Shoutout to the birds keeping you sane at home. My day is always improved watching the squirrels and crows peck about on my patio.
I had three downy woodpeckers hangin' out all at the same time this week.
I've seen videos on UA-cam of birds doing super-derpy looking courtship dances, and it always makes me think that dinosaurs must have done the same thing.

Of course, the CGI pooping is pretty awesome, too.
AND YOU STILL NEED TO VISIT THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE!
I know they've done a LOT of math about what a TRex might've sounded like, but you still can't convince me that they didn't crow like roosters.
I’m a relatively new fan but I LOVE this channel!! I’m a teenager and beginner taxidermist and your videos are funny, informative and attention-holding. I love you and the work you do, please keep it up !!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Long time no see, what you've been up to?
makin' videos! stay tuned!

She’s back! 😊
All these years in the back of my head I thought, "These guys fight? I hope they didn't fight!" Yay for new content!
I liked this video for the interview with Sue alone.

Can't wait for the new videos. I was wondering the other day what was going on with brain scoop.
great to see you back Emily! missed seeing the Brain Scoop so much! hope we get to see more in the future!
Long time no scoop! Really good to see you're still going strong at the Field Museum :-)
I didn't know I needed a video about Platypuses until you said skin lactation.. I WANT TO KNOW MORE.
+++++++

Waking up to this in my subs box made my day aaaaa can't wait to see what's coming! OG fan SUPER jazzed over here cx
Lots of people saying how happy they are 'cause there's a new brainscoop video. Now I'm happy too. Thank you :)
Miss you and the Brain Scoop
Excellent Work Emily !!! Nice to see you and am really glad to hear that you have more videos coming soon. You and your crew do outstanding work and need to be encouraged to keep doing what you do so well.
Emily interviewing SUE gave me some April from AART interviewing Carl vibes.
My day is complete. So happy to see you again! Thanks for the video.
By far my favorite content on the internet

AAAAA new brainscoop video??? I am gonna cry from so much hyPe!
Emily is the best! I think today is a good day to go back to the oooold taxidermy videos :-D
Dr. Peecook's choice of background gif is absolutely perfect.
You channeled Simon Gietz with your "byeeee". Love it. And great video, I learn every time!
I was jazzed when I saw the notification for this episode! So excited to see what's to come!
Emily, i love watching your videos. Insects and the world we live in are amazing and you present it such a way, Thanks!
The quick cuts in this video are great. Love the evolution of Brain Scoops video skills. woot!

Yay, new videos coming! It's been SO LONG!! Thank you!!!
0:00 I had the volume on full and almost fell from my chair 😱
also YAY! new video ! 👍💛
I subscribed after seeing the studio at the Field Museum because I go often, this video is hilarious
Yes! I’ve been wanting this ❤️
You are awesome! I’m a new addict to your videos and love your Prehistoric Road Trip show! Keep inspiring!
OG fan... OH SNAP!! you left me all out on a cliff!!! My house seriously misses you when you’re gone too long from UA-cam. Where else can we find you?? #emilyeveryday
That last question and answer were amazing. This video made my day. Thank you!
Couldn't wait to watch the new video! Was super excited to see a notification for a new upload.
GOING BACK TO VISIT THE O. G. PEEPS!!!! CAN NOT WAIT!!! At least I hope that's what it means!! Ooo I hope there's a Hank Green involved too!!! "A new battle begins for these long time friends and rivals!"

brought me here, you got a new subscriber.
Speaking of dinosaurs, check out these earrings! treasurefan.com/products/cool-punk-rock-dinosaur-earrings
I’m glad to see more fossils as a geek myself, and Platypus dissection!
Ayy long time no see!
EDIT: DID YOU SAY MICHAEL ARANDAAA??
AAYYYYYYYYYYY
Awh we love you Emily.

This one is still on top of my favorite channels! I lived for those things when i was a child, still do. :)
I'm so excited for new videos! So far, I've loved every single one I've seen and I think I've seen them all.
One non-museum-related question: Where do you get your awesome shirts from?
Emily, they showed your video on mastodons at the cranbrook science museum. It was dope.
Just great videos, Emily! I first saw you on your PBS show and now I'm hooked!

Wait, bones have layers?
Like onions!?
Like ogres. Or parfaits. 😂
@@fugithegreat YES
I was going to make a joke about cutting Sue in half to count the rings, and then you explained ontogeny...LOL.
yaaay she's back!
We going back to Missoula!?
I missed all of this so much
A museum might purchase items? Finally someone to buy my commemorative plates collection!

I just found this channel as a youtube nerd and I think I love it!!!!
Love your videos and the enthusiasm for the subjects.
Glad to see you back. Platypus Lactation would be a good name for a rock band.
I am pleased that there were many meetings just on dinosaur poop
Going the extra mile to actually interview Sue was hilarious, (and rib ticklingly perfect delivery.) So back to MT to dissect Michael Aranda?
I've been gone for a whhhiiiiile but I'm glad to hear that the ending is still the same. Now for a brainscoop-backlog-bingewatch.
Emily and Sue were April May and Carl for a second!! 😉📚📹🎙
Great Q&A, excited for the content on the way!
Thank you.
Omg. My nerdcore is so wound. Your channel just excels and capitulates all thats good. Thank & great wonderful job. best going fwrd
I’m hella excited!!!
