As a medical student I can only agree that this is not only super cool but also immensely helpful in studying anatomy. My university has a similar collection and seeing the muscles nerves and so on in the flesh is so important for understanding
I would loooooooooooooooove this .They have a "real bodies" exhibition in Dublin and I was really excited to go until I found that the bodies were not ethically sourced, they were stolen from murdered political prisoners in China!
The fact that all of their specimens have donors intent is really great and really important. I remember seeing the "bodies revealed" traveling exhibit here in Michigan a few years back. Something about it seemed off, almost every single human specimen was obviously Asian, and quite short, unusual i thought, so i did some research. Almost all of the bodies where bought from China, some executed prisoners, many of the bodies with unknown origins. This left me quite disgusted. These people may be dead, but there was absolutely no consent from them or their families from what i could gather in research. Those people once had names and lives, and were being used for a for profit traveling show under the guise of "educational" not to mention being used for something that could have been done with plastic and molds if the intent was purely education. Fundamentally it was a carnival freak show using non-consenting human bodies bought by shady and ethically problematic means, but seeing real dead bodies sure brought in the crowds... Make no mistake, this particular "traveling show" was first and foremost motivated by profit. Then to add insult to injury, the traveling show gave *absolutely 0 credit given to the Study of human anatomy medicine and science done in Ancient Asia. As far as the "educational" aspect of the exhibit was concerned there was ancient Greece, medieval Europe, then modern western science. I did research to investigate my suspicion, Of course not to downplay the importance of modern western science and medicine, but Asia also had a rich ancient history of human anatomy in-fact in China itself it seems human anatomy was being written down before ancient Greece. All the while the "educational exhibit" was using the bodies of all Asian people, while completely ignoring the history of anatomy and science in Asia.. Sorry for the rant, this has disgusted and bothered me for ages. Edit: Just to be clear i have absolutely no problem with what they are doing in Denver as the specimens have *consent* this is fine, in-fact it's a fantastic and a super interesting educational tool, I hope to visit one day.
I should have known it was this dubious when thy would not allow me to take pictures because of copyrights. I see the German desire to do something with bodies is still strong. (joke)
@@minirock000 We must be clear about this, 'Bodies revealed' is not the same corporation as the 'Body Worlds' exhibit run by Dr Gunther Von Hagens.Nor is it associated with The Institution of Plastination he founded. Whilst Dr Von Hagens is himself a controversial figure; 'In January 2004, the German news magazine Der Spiegel reported that von Hagens had acquired corpses of executed prisoners in China; von Hagens countered that he did not know the origin of the bodies, and returned seven disputed cadavers to China.'
To be fair, it doesn't really matter who was first if we're looking at the development of our understanding. So unless Chinese studies of anatomy led on through Greek and European ones, that isn't meaningful. But yes. Bodies are objects owned by the person who inhabits them. Upon the death of the owner, objects should be treated as per the desires of the prior owner as best as possible, not bandied around and exploited for profit.
just gotta say, I started watching brainscoop a few years before my college career began, and always had the utmost respect for Emily and her passion toward discovery and education. I have to admit, I've always had an interest in restoration ecology, but was nervous to head into the male-dominated world of science until I saw Em kicking ass and taking binomial nomenclature (names..? get it? i'lll stop). Now I'm just about a year away from graduation with a degree in environmental science with a bio emphasis, and I couldn't be happier. thank you thank you for what you do, brainscoop, and keep getting girls into science! - very interesting episode, it's possibly one of my favorites!
The Intro, B-roll, all the production value in this is INCREDIBLE! I know it takes a ton more time but holy crap. Nice work! Also, the video is excellent.
It was probably edited my Michael Aranda, who also hosts Scishow and does some of the editing and sound design for Crash Course. He's amazing, and you should defs check out his personal vlog channel, WhatImDoingRightNow, has some of the most therapeutic and beautiful content and editing on the internet
I visited this museum when I visited Denver!! Took a pic with that stomping tyrannosaur! Sat in that IMAX theater! Didn't spend much time in the Health Sciences section-big museum, so much to see in so little time! This was a great video, fun and educational, fantastic opening sequence. I want to do the sour study and be part of the collection!!
I AM JUMPING UP AND DOWN IN MY SEAT. OMG. THIS IS MY FAVOURITE THING EVER. This is my jam. I really really want to become a pathologist. I'm studying at uOttawa and I've been to the anatomy lab here but I've been to Queens' anatomy museum and it's very similar to what was show here.
so cool! I'm currently studying biology at Carleton (antibiotic resistance, not pathology) and I did my undergrad at Queen's (although I had no idea with had an anatomy museum...)! (anyway, I was excited to see someone else from Ottawa with a connection to Queen's)
Hey! Antibiotic resistance sounds so cool! Are you working with one of the hospitals or at one of the Carleton labs? How are you enjoying your work? I admit I haven't really been around Carleton much (past visiting a friend). I considered Queen's for my undergrad but uOttawa had better scholarship opportunities. I'm glad to see another person from Ottawa too!!
I work for a lab at on the Carleton campus. It's good, though! I love doing research (it's often very frustrating but satisfying once things start to work lol) and it's relevant stuff so people are actually interested (for my undergrad thesis I worked on fruit flies and no one really cared except other fruit fly researchers). Yeah, that's fair, there's not much going on around the Carleton campus, uOttawa is far more central. I loved my time at Queen's but I think for a lot of the sciences (outside of engineering), it's not the best option (especially for biology, unless you're at the med school or working with a specific researcher), so you probably made a good choice! Also a friend of mine has had some cool opportunities working at the hospital through uOttawa so it's probably great for you!
Yeah! I find that by living in the capital, we have a lot more job options, especially government jobs or government-funded research. Especially these days. I'm always on the edge about maybe doing research, and my undergrad has the choice between a research thesis or just finishing the credits...so idk. But I really want to jump into clinic volunteer work soon. And you are totally right! There are so many good hospital options, especially since uOttawa's med campus is at the General hospital. Patho has a lot of lab work related to it, normally, so I think it's a good option for people that kind of like the research but might want to be more practically clinical. Anyway, I do have to say that although uOttawa is really convenient and I prefer it, it has a lot of construction rn and Carleton is surrounded by some beautiful parks around it.
I did a research thesis with my undergrad and I loved it so I'd really recommend looking into it if you think you'd be interested (there's some really great PIs at uOttawa and you can also do research with someone at the hospital/medical campus which might be better suited for your interests). There's so many great options though (volunteering, research, etc), you can't really go wrong. But, yeah! Dow's Lake is especially really nice especially during Tulip Festival season and the experimental farm is cool.
Are you adventurous with food? I'll try any fruit or vegetable but aside from that I'd rather not, and I tend to end up eating the same stuff over and over.
Oh yeah. I've eaten bugs 'n stuff. I think growing up in South Dakota, which had ...fairly limited culinary influence outside of hot dish and potato salad, now that I live in a big diverse city I'm like EAT ALL OF THE FOOD
I would love to see more of their collection, those pieces looked so amazing and so beautiful. That arm! Every touch that that person had with someone they love or something they made is there and it will be forever. This just makes me love the world we live in and the things it can do. Thank you Emily and everyone else!
Hi! I am 25 years old and really had no idea why I wanted to do with my life. Between you(Emily) and Hank Green, I have been inspired and enlightened to the joys of Science and discovery. Thank you!
AHHHHH!!!! This is my favorite museum, I'm so happy Emily went there! And I absolutely adore human biology, so everything about this episode just makes me so happy.
Great video! I saw the plastinated arm and thought you guys might be showcasing the body worlds exhibit, but this video was still just as cool and interesting. If I could I'd love to travel to this museum to see this exhibit and participate in the research! Keep up the super fun educational work!
Emily always has the cutest dresses! And I love that the "it still has brains on it" sound byte is still used. I always have to watch to the end to hear it (not that I wouldn't watch to the end otherwise lol).
there is so much great stuff going on with this video and the science in it... but personally the biggest plus for me at the moment is that it's allowed me to put into words what i love about sticker charts/graphs
The taste test part of it was quite interesting to me, especially as an anosmiac. I've been telling people for years that taste is just a small part of the large "taste experience" that incorporates sight, texture, smell, taste buds, and sound. Amazing.
My children and I participated in the Sour study, too. It was super interesting. As homeschoolers, we are so thankful for the opportunities we have had at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. :)
I've been going to this museum since I was a super little kid, and regularly volunteer here. Emily, you're one of my biggest inspirations and it was so great to see you come here! Thanks for everything that you do, and I can't wait to see the next 2 episodes! Everything is dead.
I love that she actually said "massage therapists"! Im an LMT and people often dont realize how important the understanding of anatomy, physiology and kinesiology is to our job. We learn very I'm depth anatomy (more than some nurses) because if we are wrong or dont have a full knowledge of the body we can do actual harm or cause serious injury. We need to know what's contraindicated, muscle/ligament/tendon origin, body, insertion and movement. Yet we are often overlooked in the health industry.
As someone who was born and have lived in Colorado my whole life, I kinda took the whole human health sciences exhibits for granted. There are hundreds of entire human bodies on exhibit. All with those same plastination processes. Skeletons, skin, nervous system, circlulatory systems, muscles, digestive.
That is so cool i was just there last weekend. My favorite part of the museum is that it is two old museums side by side then wrapped entirely by the current building. Love your show wish i would have seen you there that would have been a star struck fan boy moment for me
This museum was my childhood and it feels like home to me. ❤ I'm so happy it's being focused on because it's such a wonderful museum and I love it so much. I'm so happy you got to visit my home away from home, Emily! ❤
Loved this video so much - those human body slices are AMAZING, definitely want to see those in person! Can't wait to show my seven year old this video tonight!
This is a great exhibit here in Denver. Almost everything is super interactive and the climbing muscle dude in the beginning is one of their plastinated bodies on display.
As someone who lives in Denver and frequently flies to Chicago, the lack of a coherent timeline of the clips in the intro drove me crazy! But the rest of the video was fantastic!
I enjoy your videos because of your wonder and enthusiasm. Had I a daughter, I’d have wanted her to be like you. Thanks for reminding us to keep learning. 😊👍🏻
I just went to the Body Exhibit at the Science Center in Downtown Los Angeles, and seeing tis video is kind of awesome. It's amazing to learn about the human body through these "plastinated" specimens.
This channel is absolute wisdom! One my favorite videos so far. Guess because it's a theme that's close to my heart. Interesting thing about children liking sour tastes, wonder if it's related to the fact they strongly rely on milk for their development, and maybe, just like with the lactase enzyme, one of the genes(probably a G-protein receptor on taste buds) is switched off as we get older.
I remember when I had to have my cat Flour put to sleep. I just knew she wasn't coming home with me on that vet trip. But the strange thing that comforted me was seeing the med students. Apparently my cat had developed a heart condition that was at a point that you don't see with a living cat. So the vet asked if the students could listen to it. I obviously said yes. They were so cute. You could tell they were excited to learn something new but we're also respectful that I was losing my cat. It actually brought me comfort having seen their excitement. I really miss her. But Flour lived quite the long life. There is one thing I wish I'd done. I wish I had given my permission for them to perform a necropsy on her so they could see her heart. But I didn't even think of it at the time. But at least they got to listen to her.
This is such a fun video! Please do more collabs with other museums. It's so cool to see what different museums have and how they're similar or different from the Field. (also that's an awesome dress)
I remember doing a medical course awhile back and I got to hold an actual brain. We were told it was that of a person who'd donated themselves for science but even knowing that it still kind of bothered me. Although what I wanted to say was when I held that brain I was shocked into complete stillness. I was unable to move because I had to comprehend the fact that I was holding someone's life in my hands. I was holding their memories of every single event they'd attended and every single memory of every person they'd met throughout their whole life. I held their emotions and their personality and it's a safe bet to say that, even though all I did was hold this deceased persons brain, I fell deeply in love with them; it was almost as if I felt this sort connection or bond grow between this person and I even though I would never be able to meet them nor would they have any recollection of our encounter as they had passed many years before, and I'm anything but religious but it was like the person who once carried that brain, this engine, was there with me at the very moment to give me a pat on the back and tell me everything would be okay. It was truly the most important and awe inspiring moment in my life.
I live close to denver so I have been going to the Museum of Nature and Science since I was a kid! Super cool to see all the behind the scenes stuff and see Emily become a part of the Museum!
This was such a good episode! I know it take much longer to make eps like this but imo they are worth the time! Much prefer one ep like this less often than loads of less produced ones :)
I once went to a cadaver lab at the University of Waterloo and they had an arm specimen (not plasticized like the one in the video, mind you) which they used to demonstrate the movement of the arm by pulling on the muscles. It was really neat because the bicep flexes to bring the forearm up but it also turns the forearm over! Anyway I really liked the video, I just wish it was longer and spent more time on some of the other specimens.
Great job Emily. I would love to live in a rare books room and I remember going to the Denver museum of science and nature back in the 1960's with my parents and aunt. One of the dioramas was so realistic, my younger sister tried to smell something and 'bang" hit her head on the glass. It was so clear and clean we couldn't see it. I still remember the museum and it's been probably 50 years ago when I was about 10.
This is incredible! And informative too. Come to think of it, I should visit the science and natural history museums in my region, I'm sure they must have some fascinating exhibits and maybe even some citizen projects that I could contribute to.
Plasticized humans is one of the most fascinating technologies for teaching and museums. There was a traveling display of bodies that came to my town, but I found out too late and missed seeing it.
It's so cool! We humans so often see ourselves as separate from everything else, but we are right in the heart of it! And there is still so much we don't understand about ourselves as well! this is awesome!
Aragorn: "You have my sword."
Legolas: "And you have my bow."

Watching Emily is like watching a Ms. Frizzle prequel. At the end she gets a magic school bus and starts making bad puns. Also cells are neat.
Opaul Elven Ms Frizzle: the making
If there is ever a live action Magic School Bus, I will be quite disappointed if Emily is not cast as Miss Frizzle.
the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Holy crap she's even got the jewellery and outfits down. This needs to happen.
SEAT BELTS, EVERYONE
As a medical student I can only agree that this is not only super cool but also immensely helpful in studying anatomy. My university has a similar collection and seeing the muscles nerves and so on in the flesh is so important for understanding
I would loooooooooooooooove this .They have a "real bodies" exhibition in Dublin and I was really excited to go until I found that the bodies were not ethically sourced, they were stolen from murdered political prisoners in China!
@@therabbithat Dear God!
Yep. These are far more useful than all the awful drawings and the like that (for me) never give any real sense of what's going on.
Whatever you're paying the editor that put that intro together, it's not enough.

The fact that all of their specimens have donors intent is really great and really important. I remember seeing the "bodies revealed" traveling exhibit here in Michigan a few years back. Something about it seemed off, almost every single human specimen was obviously Asian, and quite short, unusual i thought, so i did some research. Almost all of the bodies where bought from China, some executed prisoners, many of the bodies with unknown origins. This left me quite disgusted. These people may be dead, but there was absolutely no consent from them or their families from what i could gather in research. Those people once had names and lives, and were being used for a for profit traveling show under the guise of "educational" not to mention being used for something that could have been done with plastic and molds if the intent was purely education. Fundamentally it was a carnival freak show using non-consenting human bodies bought by shady and ethically problematic means, but seeing real dead bodies sure brought in the crowds... Make no mistake, this particular "traveling show" was first and foremost motivated by profit.
Then to add insult to injury, the traveling show gave *absolutely 0 credit given to the Study of human anatomy medicine and science done in Ancient Asia. As far as the "educational" aspect of the exhibit was concerned there was ancient Greece, medieval Europe, then modern western science. I did research to investigate my suspicion, Of course not to downplay the importance of modern western science and medicine, but Asia also had a rich ancient history of human anatomy in-fact in China itself it seems human anatomy was being written down before ancient Greece.

I should have known it was this dubious when thy would not allow me to take pictures because of copyrights.
I see the German desire to do something with bodies is still strong. (joke)
@@minirock000 We must be clear about this, 'Bodies revealed' is not the same corporation as the 'Body Worlds' exhibit run by Dr Gunther Von Hagens.Nor is it associated with The Institution of Plastination he founded. Whilst Dr Von Hagens is himself a controversial figure;

They ded chill tf out.
Thank you for highlighting this. That is totally disturbing, and on top of it the lack of credit to any science done in Asia? Really disgusting.
the intro to this video is the best you've ever done, i loved that
They put out a video once a month and for this it's totally worth it.
I concur, although in a few bits "zany visual Emily" was distracting from "informative audio Emily".
Agreed; Emily's exuberant enthusiasm is just so contagious that it puts a big smile on my face each time i watch one of her videos :D
"Yup, it was a real human being"
Most people: eeeeeewwww get it away!!
Emily: OEEHH I WANNA TOUCH IT!

Loved this video so much - those human body slices are AMAZING, definitely want to see those in person! Can't wait to show my seven year old this video tonight!
This is a great exhibit here in Denver. Almost everything is super interactive and the climbing muscle dude in the beginning is one of their plastinated bodies on display.
I just went there yesterday and am staying right next to it. That's so weird to see my favorite channel in a place where I stood just hours ago.
I love that I have been here from the start of your channel. you have grown so much your videos keep getting better and better!
As someone who lives in Denver and frequently flies to Chicago, the lack of a coherent timeline of the clips in the intro drove me crazy!
But the rest of the video was fantastic!
This was amazing. I loved watching you get excited about human specimens and becoming part of the collection.
I enjoy your videos because of your wonder and enthusiasm. Had I a daughter, I’d have wanted her to be like you. Thanks for reminding us to keep learning. 😊👍🏻
Thanks for being awesome. I always learn something new every time you put up a video, and the enthusiasm of Emily and all the guests is wonderful. :)
I'm going to donate my body to science fiction.
I've been watching your videos for a while and I'm super happy that you visited the Denver museum!! I love going to that museum and it never get old!
I just went to the Body Exhibit at the Science Center in Downtown Los Angeles, and seeing tis video is kind of awesome. It's amazing to learn about the human body through these "plastinated" specimens.
The editing of this is beautiful.
Enjoyed the video as always! Very interesting. :D
I love your show and all the fun facts you put out there. Keep up the great work 👍
This collection looks amazing. The longer-form episodes are looking great!
Great script as always. Fun and informative. Production jumped up a few notches on this video.
It amazes me that people give their body for educational purposes. This is really great.
The editing on this channel deserves at least one oscar!! The content is awesome as well, have another oscar.
One of your best videos yet! Keep up the good work.
This is so exciting! I went to the Denver Museum all the time as a kid, and that's the place that made me love science!
I've really loved the last several videos. Some of you and your crew's best work ever.
I live just north of Denver and adore this museum!
This channel is absolute wisdom! One my favorite videos so far. Guess because it's a theme that's close to my heart.
Interesting thing about children liking sour tastes, wonder if it's related to the fact they strongly rely on milk for their development, and maybe, just like with the lactase enzyme, one of the genes(probably a G-protein receptor on taste buds) is switched off as we get older.
Your excitement is infectious. SCIENCE!
Very Very Cool! Thanks for Taking us. You need to go to the Mutter Museum in Philly.
This was wonderful! I loved the road trip portion and Emily becoming part of the collections.
I remember when I had to have my cat Flour put to sleep. I just knew she wasn't coming home with me on that vet trip. But the strange thing that comforted me was seeing the med students. Apparently my cat had developed a heart condition that was at a point that you don't see with a living cat. So the vet asked if the students could listen to it. I obviously said yes. They were so cute. You could tell they were excited to learn something new but we're also respectful that I was losing my cat. It actually brought me comfort having seen their excitement.
I really miss her. But Flour lived quite the long life. There is one thing I wish I'd done. I wish I had given my permission for them to perform a necropsy on her so they could see her heart. But I didn't even think of it at the time. But at least they got to listen to her.
I'm always so psyched when you guys release new content; I can't wait for more! Thanks for the video
This is such a fun video! Please do more collabs with other museums. It's so cool to see what different museums have and how they're similar or different from the Field. (also that's an awesome dress)
This is the kinda video I watch UA-cam for. So good and interesting
Yay DMNS! I'm so sad I couldn't see you when you came through Denver, but it looks like you had fun!
I remember doing a medical course awhile back and I got to hold an actual brain. We were told it was that of a person who'd donated themselves for science but even knowing that it still kind of bothered me. Although what I wanted to say was when I held that brain I was shocked into complete stillness. I was unable to move because I had to comprehend the fact that I was holding someone's life in my hands. I was holding their memories of every single event they'd attended and every single memory of every person they'd met throughout their whole life. I held their emotions and their personality and it's a safe bet to say that, even though all I did was hold this deceased persons brain, I fell deeply in love with them; it was almost as if I felt this sort connection or bond grow between this person and I even though I would never be able to meet them nor would they have any recollection of our encounter as they had passed many years before, and I'm anything but religious but it was like the person who once carried that brain, this engine, was there with me at the very moment to give me a pat on the back and tell me everything would be okay. It was truly the most important and awe inspiring moment in my life.
I live close to denver so I have been going to the Museum of Nature and Science since I was a kid! Super cool to see all the behind the scenes stuff and see Emily become a part of the Museum!
Jack Crowley I live close too! Its amazing because I remember having so much fun there as a kid, and I still enjoy it as an adult.
One of my favourite episodes
As a Denver resident who spends a loooot of time at the DMNS (nanny perk!) it was a really interesting experience to see it through your eyes!
I got to see so many parts of a museum I've spent TONS of time in that I've never seen before! Wow!
This was such a good episode! I know it take much longer to make eps like this but imo they are worth the time! Much prefer one ep like this less often than loads of less produced ones :)
What an awesome collection, thanks for the video!
Yay one for Colorado!! Sometimes I think people forget we are here...
I once went to a cadaver lab at the University of Waterloo and they had an arm specimen (not plasticized like the one in the video, mind you) which they used to demonstrate the movement of the arm by pulling on the muscles. It was really neat because the bicep flexes to bring the forearm up but it also turns the forearm over!
Anyway I really liked the video, I just wish it was longer and spent more time on some of the other specimens.
Great job Emily. I would love to live in a rare books room and I remember going to the Denver museum of science and nature back in the 1960's with my parents and aunt. One of the dioramas was so realistic, my younger sister tried to smell something and 'bang" hit her head on the glass. It was so clear and clean we couldn't see it. I still remember the museum and it's been probably 50 years ago when I was about 10.
Emily you have the best collection of dresses! This video was just fascinating.
This is one of the best videos of the channel. Absolutely amazing.
That first dress has some amazing interference patterns unless viewed in full screen!
This entire video is so top tier. Excellent!
This is incredible! And informative too. Come to think of it, I should visit the science and natural history museums in my region, I'm sure they must have some fascinating exhibits and maybe even some citizen projects that I could contribute to.
THIS IS AMAZING! I'm so excited that Emily could take us here! Thank you
Oh man! So happy you came to visit Denver.
I would have loved to see some sort of meet up. You're super inspiring!
Plasticized humans is one of the most fascinating technologies for teaching and museums. There was a traveling display of bodies that came to my town, but I found out too late and missed seeing it.
It's so cool! We humans so often see ourselves as separate from everything else, but we are right in the heart of it! And there is still so much we don't understand about ourselves as well! this is awesome!
Excellent video, very well made and Emily is such a fantastic presenter!
Love this channel,,i will enjoy spend my time on the museum
The production was crazy in this. The music cue at 1:00 was great.
when she got excited about the smallness of the dna collection .... so stoked for her im emotional
