He's like an eccentric neighbor or uncle that you have, but when you finally have a conversation with them, they're the coolest person you've ever met.
He seems VERY passionate about Biology. The way that he explains these things makes it seem like he really loves his job. I admire people who can be passionate about their jobs.
I should have been this man, I get such a kick out of describing stuff like this to people. Problem is my biology is dubstep, and no one cares about dubstep 😂
Give this guy his own animal documentary series like a more chill Bill Nye. His explanations are like a little story and you don't make anyone feel bad about their questions. Bravo this was one of the most entertaining biology videos I have watched in awhile
I was mid type saying this exact thing but decided to check comments. (his part 1 was great as well) The way he explains and expresses himself would do wonders for kids. They would learn and be entertained at the same time.
I think they probably get a topic that people would be interested in, then most likely, perform interviews for those specialized professionals. It would help determine who has the most passion for the subject. Sorry if this question was rhetorical.
It's amazing how this person can literally infuse you with his pure enthusiasm for his job. We really need more of this kind of people teaching the children. And the adults too!
I majored in biology in college and fortunately I can say that the majority of my professors were quite enthusiastic. It made my degree much more enjoyable!
The most enjoyable thing is how little he hesitates or feels awkward about answering *any* questions. The definition of "there are no stupid questions". Love it!
@@High_Priest_Jonko In freshman year of high school my biology teacher said to me, "You know how I said there's no such thing as a stupid question? That was a stupid question." Today I applied to the local community college with the goal of studying biology. I wanna discover a new STI so I can name it after him.
Because the science isn't awkward! That's why science is so amazing, it just *is*. There is only awkwardness applied because of social stigma humans put on our world.
Entomologist/Arachnologist here. I LOVE this series. Thor Hanson is just great in spreading out the knowledge to all these questions. And I can so deeply relate to the enthusiasm which with he does so. Just contagious. And EXACTLY what you need to reach people and make them curious. According to my collegues, I am very much alike when it comes to all my beloved bugs (and beyond. Impossible to restrict my awe for nature to these only when all shapes of life and there interactions out there are just amazingly fascinating...) I can only hope he continues this and keeps reaching and fascinating lots of people. Note aside, about "weird" animals, a very extreme environment would be the body's of other living beings. Meaning, I suggest go have a look at parasites and parasitoids. Somewhat gruesome (in human eyes), amazing bodily adaptions and extremely interesting as well...
Do it man, I’m doing my bio degree right now. Year two and learned everything mentioned in the video. It’s really enjoyable, and I’m only using it to get some prereqs for a different degree
Most of the insects that feed with blood are similar in that extent. The mosquito mouth resembles more to a butterfly but acts like a syringe needle that bends.
This guy needs his own TV show, I could listen to him talk all day. Some things he talked about I already knew but I was excited to listen to him anyway.
Very true in many cases, but not always. Plenty of strange and unique adaptations in the most mundane seeming locations, like stick insects in the forest, or the terrifying giant water beetle, like two inches or more with its big serrated murder arms that just hang out in small local ponds. Or on my lawn in one case.
i like how passionate and amazed he looks about everything he says, like he's experiencing everything as he's explaining it. this is the type of emotion i imagine wizards and alchemists would have
The "what's 'hits j'?" was enough to make me like the video, but this guy's enthusiasm is off the charts and his delivery is infectious. Could watch another hour of this. Wired's always picking the best in their fields for these videos.
@@blondie9909 Lol, as Thor says, it means "hitting a joint," i.e., smoking weed. The original poster of that tweet was saying that asking how coral is an animal is something you might think about when high.
@@devdarkk I'm sure he has some sort of permit for them since he's a biologist. Also I think arrests would be for people who are trying to bring those seeds into the country. Then again, I might be wrong since I'm not a biologist nor a US law expert

Please we need a part three. This guy sparks the young me who wanted to be a biologist, getting passionate about life in all of its shapes, sizes and behaviors
He slips into an Attenbourgh-esque lengthening of syllables towards the end of sentences. not really related to what you said but it made me think about it
I wish my biology teacher had half of the enthusiasm of this guy. I found all sciences at school totally boring. If more teachers were as engaging as this guy, you’d have more kids with a passion for science.
I assume you're talking about grade school. In the US, at least, not all grade school teachers need a degree in a science to teach it. It's a bad experience for everyone involved. And anyone who acquires degree(s) in science are highly interested in it and want to actually do science or teach higher level education not teach basic science to grade school students. There's also no monetary incentive for it. Anyone with a higher degree in science has debts that a grade school science teachers salary isn't going to pay off.
@@DamianSAAAN That really makes sense, and is just more ammunition in the argument that grade school teachers are grossly underpaid for how important their job is.
@@DelphinusVyse teachers in general are underpaid. The daycare near me is offering $10 for a full time position to make sure the tiny humans stay alive
Most teachers start like this, but most students are so uninterested in studying (or have personal issues that don't allow them to be as engaged in the process) that teachers end up being burnt out. Also, they get paid very little for someone who has a masters.
I have Thor Hanson's book: The Triumph of Seeds, and while I was reading, this is exactly how I imagined he sounded. A very lovely and digestible read.
WIRED's Tech Support series is kickass in general, but Thor is definitely the best of the bunch. This dude oozes so much sincere enthusiasm for his subject that it makes me feel passionate about biology as well.
It’s like Ozzy and Crispin Glover had a hippie love child with a tinge of the tism. And I say that as affectionately as possible, having a hippie, bio-obsessed kid on the spectrum, myself. This dude reminds me a LOT of her. The combo makes for some incredibly brilliant, enthusiastic scientists and fantastic teachers, even if some are only old enough to share with family 🙂
You can tell that this dude loves his job. Every answer is so passionate and genuine! I'd love to just have him talk my ear off with whatever he wants.
Wow, this has got to be my favorite guest on this series yet. Wired has a way of picking presenters who are very passionate about their field, and this guy is one of the most clearly enthusiastic. I wish my science teachers in school were like him.
I worked with a couple wildlife biologist in the past and they said that part of the problem was that they were taking all the baby birds to tag them at the same time and the parents would come see the chicks were gone and leave. They found that because birds really can’t count as long as you left one in the nest the papa and mama birds won’t abandon the nest and you eventually tag all the checks and move on.
Bro the part where he talks about birds being so loyal to their offspring hit so deep I started tearing up. It’s nice to be randomly triggered in a cathartic way like that. Thanks, Thor ⚡️
I wish I had this dude as my science teacher growing up. Everything he says seems genuinely fascinating and a big part of that is the fact that he himself finds these topics so exciting. Thanks for the free lesson, I learned a few things today and enjoyed the ride through it
He speaks about Biology with such awe and fascination, and he gives me the impression that he loves to teach these things to people. I love his lively and animated style!! could watch him for days 😁
He should go into teaching because not only does he really know his stuff but he can explain things so well and in a way that keeps you interested in hearing more and more!
I love this guy's energy and personality! Honestly, I wouldn't normally care about biology but this guy makes it sound like it's the most fascinating thing in the world.

I love how he answers with "well the answer is yes/no" then explains why after, makes it very easy to understand. Sometimes answering inside the explanation can be confusing and the way Thor answers just makes it very easy to understand.

I never heard a guy describe the literal siphoning of my blood so passionately without being a vampire.
No one asked: Are you a vampire?

You still haven't ;)
@@Harkonis lmaaaaaaaaao
That implies you've heard a vampire describe the siphoning of your blood and you need to tell us your secrets.
So relieved that someone has finally described the feeding process of a tick the way it should be, like an A24 psychological thriller.
How on earth does WIRED get the professionals who are literally the most passionate people on the planet?
Uh, it’s because they’re passionate. They want to share their love. Pretty simple.

Sorry if this question was rhetorical.
His natural speech pattern is like a nature documentary. I love it.
I immediately thought of David Attenborough.
I think its a requirement to get into the field at this point
yes, I noticed it too
I've actually seen him in at least one documentary "the future is wild". His cadence is just as great there lol
Until the pro-trans narrative
Came for the biology facts, stayed for his infectious positivity. His energy alone is more of a dopamine hit than anything else has been all day.
He is passionate, it's so precious.
Love how Thor is so invested in every explanation. That's oozing dedication. Admirable
The dude would make an AMAZING teacher. The way he delivers his answers, you feel like he injects a sense of wonder into every word.
I believe he’s a professor if I’m not mistaken!
I like how this biologist is so passionate in explaining the questions in a way everyone can understand, making it so interesting.
i agree! it's like that with every specialist talking and explaining their passion i guess
Well said, Lord Fourth!
I don't care how many videos with him you do keep em coming. He's so satisfying to listen to.
I’d listen to any podcast or audiobook he wants to record
This gentleman could narrate an audio book of the yellow pages and I'd listen to it.
Was just thinking the same thing. He could read me the back of a cereal box and I would listen contentedly.
I agree. He sound so happy
Yes I want him to have his own YT channel or TV show
I felt like a child being told amazing stories, love how he expresses himself
He would make an amazing teacher or professor.
I love how he smile even when telling in detail how an animal dies. It really shows how passionate and how much love he has to his career
It's amazing how this person can literally infuse you with his pure enthusiasm for his job. We really need more of this kind of people teaching the children. And the adults too!
Not only is he crazy passionate and knowledgeable about biology, he's also called Thor. How much cooler can this guy get??
And he pronounces it "Tor". That's even better!
