You don't know how much I've been enjoying the regular uploads. My girls (5 and 2) and myself love watching your videos together and learning new things. Great job Emily!
@Sandcastle • I'd like to think that's because all there videos are so well made with such educational content that it's practically impossible to dislike! How can you not like learning?
I had a research job for a year where I prepped fish from the museum collection for exactly this kind of CT scanning and reconstruction. I think the oldest specimen I got to work with was from 1857! It's so cool to see a similar project with birds! And to see this kind of behind the scenes museum work made public :)
I want to be just like you Emily!!! I plan on becoming a park ranger in Yellowstone National Park. I'm a 14 year old that is studying biology. Right now I'm learning about biotechnology and it's really interesting
I feel like this video is a direct response to those museum naysayers in "The Feather Thief" (great recommendation, by the way), and to that I say, excellent work Emily. :)
@@thebrainscoop Those guys were infuriating! I just finished reading it a few days ago. So incredibly frustrating that 2/3 of the stolen skins are still out there somewhere.
Kingfishers are my favorite group of birds, so fun to see them highlighted! Also really cool that a new tech like 3D is bringing new life to specimens collected decades ago. It really speaks to the importance of collection conservation and maintenance.
Hahaha that hurt my ears. I can understand it from a foreign layman. But a scientist that studies them for a living..... He HAS to of heard an australian say it before. Luckily the birds arent alive or they'd be sayin '....fuck dude, thats not my name'
@@crzycnt8566 and then him n all his mates would cakle n chortle at full volume, proclaiming a such a numpty. Not that *im* saying hes a numpty, just kookaburras are very judgemental. N love a joke ;-) But if that were the case, brainscoop would be a very different channel. Id still watch it tho.
"The value of animals and all living things isn't based on the possible benefit humans can gain from mimicking their adaptations..." important to note, thank you!
The best episode on brain scoop! Did you know they did this with bees!? A whole transportation route was made by studying the shortest and quickest ways to get from one place to another. Similar to how bees behave visiting one flower to the next. This is why biodiversity is so important to keep around they help us discover medicines and make our lives easier! 😁 good job
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. My husband is blind and does his birding by ear I guess what I am saying it's so cool when people think we don't know anything...Even Visually impaired people are out there Birding and sharing their education with others only folks like us understand this comment🥇🥇🥇
Birds. They're not just the creepy descendants of dinosaurs. They're the creepy descendants of dinosaurs that posthumously collaborate with us on science.
When skeletal material is left in the dermestid beetles long enough, they'll start eating away at things like the tissue that attaches the keratin to the skeleton below, as well as the keratin itself. They're okay in their room, but we are fastidious about not letting them escape into the collections- otherwise they could destroy them!
As always this is exactly the content I love!! Keep it up Emily! You're definitely inspiring this graphic design student to work towards a career in science communication!
This might sound like a nitpicky thing, but why the heck did you include the line "in Tokyo" when talking about the shinkansen? The shinkansen is by definition an intercity high-speed rail system, so suggesting it primarily exists in the single city of Tōkyō, as if it's a subway or local train system, kind of sounds strange, like maybe you don't understand that Tōkyō is a single city and not the whole of Japan. Come on, Tōkyō already gets enough of the attention, there is so much more to Japan than just one big city! Come to Hokkaidō, for example, you can take the shinkansen! (Though we're so far away from central Japan you are better off flying, lol)
Such an informative and interesting video! It is so interesting to learn how biological processes and anatomies can inform human engineering and development
I just started watching and your videos are so informative and wonderful! I also love how the graphics on your outfits seem to always match the subject of the video :)
Interesting. Over & over it was stated that someone "designed" this or that, by getting inspiration from birds. Yet we are also told that the birds themselves, with all their amazing qualities, came into existence with no designer, just by random chance & a lot of time.
Yesica1993 I’d argue evolution is much less “random chance” and much more just good ole survival of the fittest. Some birds are born slightly better at not getting their brains hurt when they yeet themselves into the water, and living birds are much more likely to reproduce vs. dead birds who are much less likely to reproduce, because their tiny bird bodies crashed into a pond, and also because they’re dead.
@@PoisonTheOgres It is more to do with the way the "oo" is pronounced following the C or K. K as in: That person is kooky as hell. C as in: I'm going to cook dinner.
Wait wait wait... "Some designers, like engineers" I mean I know its semantics, and I know there is overlap, but those are still two different trades based on different approach and expertise. :P
Do people really need to look towards birds to figure out that you should streamline a train for aerodynamic purposes? As an aesthetic or poetic choice, sure, chose a local bird to model the conical shape of the train. But if your engineering degree didn't make that an obvious solution to begin with, I don't think you should be designing anything that might kill people.

YAY MORE BRAIN SCOOP!
Wait.....brain scooping is not always helpful? Another great video. Thanks Emily.

I love birds!
Your videos are genuinly awsome!
Vampira I also like birds
The best science videos across the entire web!!
I love Emily's necklaces!
Really interesting video! Thank you.
Everyone waiting for dat It still has brains on it
As an Australian, The way he pronounces kookaburra just seems so wrong haha 😅, Great video, I love the content as always!
Hahaha that hurt my ears.

Your goods are some the best goods on all of UA-cam. We need more Scoops!

YES! Love this. This video was right up my alley. Biomimicry is so fun!
Ah Emily! It’s so good to see one of your videos again! I thought you stopped. I’m so glad that you are still doing this
Birds. They're not just the creepy descendants of dinosaurs. They're the creepy descendants of dinosaurs that posthumously collaborate with us on science.
Do the beetles eating away the keratin cause problems regularly? Or is this a very specific circumstance?

They're okay in their room, but we are fastidious about not letting them escape into the collections- otherwise they could destroy them!
Yay, brain scoop is back!!!
only noticing all the jars in the background 6 mins in...so many jars
Keep making amazing videos me and my noodle (Nettle) loves your show
Noodle?
@@garethbaus5471affectionate name for a snake ...Like some people calling all dogs puppies because they're cute.
@@revisehellenologo ok, that makes sense.
I'm obsessed with that shoebill skull.
Loving the regular uploads! Great content!
Another interesting one. And I love that bird necklace adding to the theme!
@4one14 I didn't even notice the skirt. Thanks for raising awareness to it.
Ahh I get so excited when you upload! Very interesting topic and nicely covered, thank you!
why not have subtitles? I love your videos but little hard for me to fully understand
The thought of just yeeting a frozen bird into a body of water for science is such a funny concept
As always this is exactly the content I love!! Keep it up Emily! You're definitely inspiring this graphic design student to work towards a career in science communication!

you can never go wrong with birbs :>
man i love your channel Emily!
the old dissection videos with Amy were the best!
Cool!
This is my first time watching brainscoop
Mr. T called and he wants his necklace back. :) Aside from that glad to see a new episode! Keep up the good work!
That was very interesting, and well done, too. Thanks for sharing this with us.
At the mention of "kingfisher" I noticed the necklace. Is it just me, or do the wIngs move?
Always look forward to another brainscoop video!
American Coot feet are the best!
BRING OUT THE ROTATING KING FISHER!!!
This was such a neat episode!!
Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
Emily, I love your bird necklace
Any video of a pre-biomimicry Shinkansen going through a tunnel?
I love birds. :)
I just started watching and your videos are so informative and wonderful! I also love how the graphics on your outfits seem to always match the subject of the video :)
Love it 🐦🐤❣️
Can someone please add captions? Many of your viewers (including me!) are either deaf or hard of hearing
This just reminds me of the Mythbusters and the Chicken Gun. "Gentlemen, thaw your chickens."
New brainscoop! ^__^
That "shoebill stork" looks like a Loftwing.
omg true
Great video! It’s so nice to come across a video where you actually learn something that’s applicable to everyday life! We learned so much
😀🤯 🧠 🐦
Ah, the 3 B's: brain, beak and behavior
Great vid.
Nobody:
Grandpa: Kingfisher 9000! Kingfisher 9000!

I have tried. It is impossible for me to go to the next video before hearing, "It still has brains on it."
Dear Americans, although it is spelled with a K it is pronounced with a C, Cook-aburra!
Rob Ramsey uhhh... is there a difference? It's both the /k/ phoneme
@@PoisonTheOgres It is more to do with the way the "oo" is pronounced following the C or K.
K as in: That person is kooky as hell.
C as in: I'm going to cook dinner.
@@PoisonTheOgres it kinda does, especially since the bird named itself from its call.
BTW it should really be 'Guuguuburra', the aboriginal name.
Finally Emily
She is so freaking cute with those glasses! Love her!
Pretty sure Emily is married, but I do agree.
@@greensteve9307 I'm not asking to marry her!
2:52 My life is a lie.
RIGHT!? I had no idea!! Also, that Kookaburras are kingfishers?!! whaaaa??
Wait wait wait... "Some designers, like engineers" I mean I know its semantics, and I know there is overlap, but those are still two different trades based on different approach and expertise. :P

thought you weren't gonna say it. :)
I love pickles.
I know a much more effective way to prevent brain injuries to football players: They could stop slamming their heads into each other.

But if your engineering degree didn't make that an obvious solution to begin with, I don't think you should be designing anything that might kill people.
I think the best way to avoid brain injuries from American football is to not play American football.
