    This man brought half of his office with him just to show us the most details, so humble and kind
  • @rulialee9802
    He's explaining difficult concepts in a tone someone would use to tell bedtime stories. This just makes learning less stressful
  • @juanpaula152
    As a biology major this video made me feel sad for not having great professionals as passionate to their jobs as this man!
  • @guineveredawn
    His enthusiasm is so contagious, and he makes biology sound so interesting. This was awesome, thank you, Wired!
  • @lyndii914
    This man is a virologist, zoologist, botanist, archeologist, marine biologist , evolutionist, geneticist, molecular biologist at the same time. Incredible!
  • @blunderbass851
    I love how Wired always finds people that are super passionate about their careers. Always the icing on the cake for me.
  • @user-qz4zi4sz6l
    “What is af, I’m sorry” lmfao, this guy is adorable
  • @RedDogRanch13
    I love the way he talks with such enthusiasm but in a calm way that’s inviting and makes you want to learn
  • @eusinoha
    Wired we better be seeing "Biologist answers MORE biology questions" like you did with the mortician. This is fantastic.
  • @Arandompotato1
    his voice is so soft he is like the Bob Ross of biology.
  • @sukai121
    If this man was my professor I would absolutely get a biology degree
  • @yakuzzi35
    "It's a serious question for anyone who loves bananas." As a banana enthusiast, I started crying, I finally feel seen
  • This guy looks like he's happy to answer every question you have with patience and the more you ask the more excited he gets because you're learning and are also sharing interest.
  • @vickym2607
    Feeling burnt out and lost 3 years into my biology degree, but this man's passion and enthusiasm for explaining things reminds me of how I felt when I first started. Biology is awesome!
  • @saintsalieri
    His wife: babe our house is looking a little cluttered, I think we need to have a yard sale Him trying to hide the box that just arrived containing his 40lb coconut seed: ok honey that sounds great
  • @Not_Evil_
    2:10 Im sure im not the only one that sees something else
  • @xassylax
    I love watching people like this learn modern slang. Thor learning what “af” means? Absolutely priceless.
  • @razaki7477
    if he ever taught in class, i will never skip it, the way he talks and teach things felt really educational and interesting
  • I'm been reading biology books since high school days...and I'm fascinated by the knowledge about us humans and the nature...I really enjoyed watching this whole video... 😀
