If they open an online digital museum shop for 3d models, they could really bring a new revenue stream into the museum. If all museums did this, so many game, movie and TV effects studios would gladly pay for them. And museums would have an almost constant trickle of funding, and a digitally preserved collection.
My wife and I went to the CAS a couple weeks ago during our trip to San Francisco and really enjoyed it. Did you know that their aquarium has the oldest living aquarium fish in the world? That title goes to Methuselah, their resident lungfish.
I would be in heaven if I was able to visit a collection of animals like that. 46 Million specimens.. Wow. I have been an animal lover and have been studying animals since I was probably 4-5 years old, now in my mid 30's and I still love to learn new things about extinct and extant animals. Love these videos! Huge fan of yours Adam & Crew. (I remember the very first episode of Mythbusters when it came out and I didn't know this at the time, but I was a huge fan of Star Wars TPM and your work on R2!! I remember Pepsi did the Ep 1 collector cans back in the early 2000's and went to see ep 1 in theaters in Homer Alaska with my brother and uncles Mike and Paul, was so much fun! Love everything you guys do on this channel and all the work you have done in ILM & so, so much more!! Much love from David in Alaska!
I worked for the University of Idaho Entomology collection for 25 years. I know the whole drill for collecting out in the field, writing the notes right then and there because no one could remember all the details, keeping the notes with the specimens and turning those notes into labels that stay with the specimens as they get curated and go into the collection. Getting the specimens curated was a whole set of makers' skills in and of themselves. I even invented tools to make the job easier.
7:06 If you listen to just the audio, the way she answers the question is like she's some kind of fortune telling lady, haha. Very slow and mysterious rhythm. But yeah, then i looked at the screen and saw that she was busy scanning the tortoise, haha. I thought it was kinda funny to have this kind of interview while she's at work on it.
Yeah, binoculars were definitely already a thing. Telescopes were invented quite a few centuries prior and alongside that also binoculars. The more modern design of binoculars was invented in the late 1800's.
Adam, please come visit us at the Academy of Natural Sciences Philadelphia! We are the oldest in the US! And we mounted the first dinosaur anywhere in the world! I'm a volunteer there. :D
The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Adam?
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this 👌 I’ve been trying to use Scaniverse on my iPhone and my iPad Pro - to record my Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars, as well as my 1960s Marx Toys Daleks and my 1950s Lone Star Dan Dare Space Pistols (and anything else that stays still long enough 🤣) - but nothing has resulted in a 3D model that isn’t warped like crap. I want to find a cost effective 3D scanner, but in the meantime, I guess I’ll just stay jealous for the time being 😒🤣
I hope I can get a 3D printer, I really, really want to have some 3D prints of a tortoise now! (As well as about 400 others. T-Rex, Therazinosaurus, etc..) 😄
Am I the only one that heard "I'm wearing gloves because of the arsenic" then watched her touch everything else afterwards? 😆. Keys, handles, in her pocket, etc.
1. How did Beck's team learn of the fire? I don't imagine the Galapagos had any telephones. Without satellites, I don't believe there was global radio comms yet, so was it just that another ship arrived months later with the news? 2. Does the museum's gift shop sell those 3D prints of the turtles and other animals? If so, as long as all the prints are at the same scale, then they should also sell a set of 3 humans, scaled for 6', 5'6", & 5' to help people appreciate the size of these animals.
My guess is wireless telegraphy. You could actually transmit information wirelessly far earlier than you would think. But it would probably pass by a few different stops because of the range.
Certainly unethical on some level, but as the second lady stated, when they heard about a fire destroying everything... they became the new museum. Yet we are still using the specimens nearly 120 years later; and as shown in the video, great efforts have been made to preserve the specimens and the data. They have certainly not gone to waste.
I really don’t know how to feel about all this. Historic animal samples I guess there’s nothing to be done. But the amount of killing is absolutely sickening.
_You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Adam._ _The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Adam?_
They have been dead for a *very* long time, either before they were endangered or before that was even a consideration. Preserving of specimens is extremely important for research, and that can both mean preserving them once they die naturally, or euthanizing a specimen in order to have an exact record of that stage in their life cycle. And once a specimen is preserved, it can be used for research and teaching people for decades or even centuries. It's not even uncommon for new species to be discovered by going through collections of preserved specimens looking for any that may have originally been misidentified. It's an invaluable tool for conservation research, and allows for having "standard" specimens that everyone can reference off of going forward.
E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This tortoise is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the tube 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-TORTOISE!
generally the scanners used for projects like this are whats avalible from the nearest hospital. Smaller, older, lower resolutions, not for industiral use either.
@@AnonymousAnarchist2 Alright- assuming the local hospital is moonlighting their bariatric CT- sure it wont fit... But large scale CT is not done on a conventional gantry- It uses two robotic arms which oppose each other at 180º (also big not pig- typo on my end).
Congrats Adam, your DNA is on those birds. No Joke. What I mean is that, those birds were preserved in a destructive way and the best way for the time being. Just remember to record anything, including your DNA, for the future.

Adam Savage Explores Cal Academy's Galapagos Collection: ua-cam.com/video/0uLpfXyETwg/v-deo.html
The way the camera suddenly zoomed out sharply to reveal the words "Lazy Tortoise" on what I assume is a turntable was accidental comedy gold.
Good lazy Susan pun haha

C'mon, man. Put the tortoise and his inflatable donut in a pool immediately. He wants some sun n' chill.
How old is he?
Adam has the coolest job, getting to see all these things up close and talk to the people responsible for it all :)
My wife and I went to the CAS a couple weeks ago during our trip to San Francisco and really enjoyed it. Did you know that their aquarium has the oldest living aquarium fish in the world? That title goes to Methuselah, their resident lungfish.
This is precisely the kind of curator a collection such as this needs.
I would LOVE to have this job. Just being alone and scanning things and making them look perfect. Testing out various 3D printing methods..so cool.
I would be in heaven if I was able to visit a collection of animals like that. 46 Million specimens.. Wow.

Two of my favorite topics combined! Awesome awesome stuff Adam

A really interesting interview, thanks Adam and the Tested team.
The Galapagos are in the Pacific ocean. No need to go "around the horn" to get back to San Francisco.
the look she gave at "when you scan it for real". LOL
I interpreted it as... when 'myself and a film crew are not in your face, asking questions'. Not like she's pretending to actually scan it.
A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.
The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment.
I got tested on the evolution of Galapagos finches as part of my high school final exams - that is so cool to see the specimens 😮
That thumbnail is... something. XD
I bet they could sell full size 3D prints. They have a goldmine of specimens.
Strong The Brainscoop vibes. I love seeing museum staff talking about their collections
UA-cam is a lesser place without Emily, but still beterr6than it could be if she wasn't here at all.
Thank you.
Great penmanship on those tags.
I really want one of those scanners too. Where I am in Alaska, I could get some REALLY freaking cool stuff!
She said Sketch Fab and I about geeked out. I totally forgot they had a Museum section there.
I was hoping for a live one just sitting there
7:06 If you listen to just the audio, the way she answers the question is like she's some kind of fortune telling lady, haha.
Very slow and mysterious rhythm.
But yeah, then i looked at the screen and saw that she was busy scanning the tortoise, haha.
I thought it was kinda funny to have this kind of interview while she's at work on it.
19:21 They didn't have binoculars in the 1900s? I have a set dated 1902...why didn't the take binoculars? Or am I being stupid here.
Yeah, binoculars were definitely already a thing. Telescopes were invented quite a few centuries prior and alongside that also binoculars. The more modern design of binoculars was invented in the late 1800's.
Wow would love to print out a copy of one of the tortoise scans
19:19 "Back then they didn't have binoculars" They certainly did have Binoculars in the early 1900's.
All this is very nice but I'm freaking over the metal shelving units. Wow.
The booping part made me think of XKCD 2823 where the character is booping the trilobite fossils.
No giant tortoises were harmed in the production of this video. They were dead to begin with.
Adam, please come visit us at the Academy of Natural Sciences Philadelphia! We are the oldest in the US! And we mounted the first dinosaur anywhere in the world! I'm a volunteer there. :D
PHIL-LEY!
Brings the museum out beyond the glass case🤔 and into every ones home and class room.. 78 000 specimens 🐊🐢
Everyone would buy those.
Absolutely fascinating.
A behind the scenes look at how they made the dogs look so dog-like in Elden Ring.
Finally! I’ve been wondering how they do this for years! 😂
Adam, if you want a mobile storage system for your cave, I know a guy. The company I work for built the ones at Cal Academy.
The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Adam?
This was really cool

I use that same scanner at work!
What brand is it?
Great video adam sir😊
I hope I can get a 3D printer, I really, really want to have some 3D prints of a tortoise now! (As well as about 400 others. T-Rex, Therazinosaurus, etc..) 😄
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 saludos desde Perú 🥰✌
I know it's dead but I'm still like please help it get upright.😂
i wonder if they will venture in to vr and making it where you can see the animal in 3d space
I wonder how long til Adam prints a tortoise or skull.
Ok, you got me. I’m interested.
Is the tortoise OK?
I’m pretty sure its a preserved body of a tortoise who has died
Its sleeping.
yeah it’s fine don’t worry
He's pining for the fjords
Am I the only one that heard "I'm wearing gloves because of the arsenic" then watched her touch everything else afterwards? 😆. Keys, handles, in her pocket, etc.
It’s California, everything causes cancer there.
Of all the things I thought I'd see today
I was wondering how they, ehm... "expired" the specimens.
Shotguns did not sit high up in my list of possible techniques.
I need that woman to cough more than anything else in the world right now
geezes… they keeled em ..

Are the turtle STLs on thingiverse?
Help I'm a tortoise and I can't get up :) Cool specimens from galapagos. The birds nests are more like bird houses I'd say
Different world back then, Imagine going to an Island and killing over six thousand birds to bring back to a museum.
Certainly unethical on some level, but as the second lady stated, when they heard about a fire destroying everything... they became the new museum.

For got the shades my man 😎🌄
Someone needs to pitch this movie idea to netflix and get it made. Hell, someone write a letter to Ron Howard! He'd be game! XD
Paul F Tompkins would like this.
What scanner is it?
I really don’t know how to feel about all this. Historic animal samples I guess there’s nothing to be done. But the amount of killing is absolutely sickening.
But can you scan the hare?
Pretty much turtles all the way down.
Just a side note to editor, hissing sound 14:00
_You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Adam._

Hubert j farnsworth
Good news, everyone!!
I think he is in collection 2.
Oh my
What did they do to Oogway?!
That thumbnail almost triggered me, because who puts a tortoise on his back. Luckily it wasn't a life one...
So, they killed them?
They have been dead for a *very* long time, either before they were endangered or before that was even a consideration.
Preserving of specimens is extremely important for research, and that can both mean preserving them once they die naturally, or euthanizing a specimen in order to have an exact record of that stage in their life cycle.

As Elden Ring player i only see Dog Pope 🐕=🐢
The closing remark about the genitalia of the scientists was really not needed ...
E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This tortoise is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace!

Perfect
Artec 3D scanners are the bottom of the barrel of 3d scanning technology.
tortoise ? isn't that a turtle ?
All tortoise are turtles. But not all turtles are tortoise. This is a tortoise.
3:21 erm- she's 100% right about the medal rods ruining a good scan- but too pig to fit in a CT scanner... A few flaws with that statment...
generally the scanners used for projects like this are whats avalible from the nearest hospital.

turtles in the sea (leave us the fk alone) humans in the sea' o00oo0o what an object!
Congrats Adam, your DNA is on those birds. No Joke. What I mean is that, those birds were preserved in a destructive way and the best way for the time being. Just remember to record anything, including your DNA, for the future.
indian gvmt look at how the south korean gvmt help their business
:)
museums sure did pay a lot of people to go around killin things
dog
For a girl that works a lot with arsenic, she looks good for a 19 year old...
she didn't answer many questions
All those women working there pretending to know what they're talking about is ridiculous and honestly kind of annoying 🙄 😒
Everyone there knows far more about literally any subject in STEM than you do, I can guarantee it.
