    The name of this channel is no joke. Things are indeed started clearly. It's refreshing to find a source of information that is based in coherent explanations of form and function, cascading from first principles. Should be the norm but unfortunately it's not. Education is still based largely on memorization instead of understanding. Thank you for making such valuable content 👍
  • I would have loved it if this video existed back when I was in school, but I'm still grateful for it even now that I'm working on my thesis!
  • Maybe I’m odd, but it is a numinous feeling to be living in a time when we have the scientific method to help better understand our universe and those of us living in it. To think that for billions of years, simple life flourished and then began to diversify to the point that there is us, canines, jellyfish and orchids!! It blows my mind and I love it! Thanks Stated Clearly for the thoughtful and precise explanations of the sciences. I never studied any of this in college (finance graduate), but I do love learning these things! Cheers
  • I can't express my gratitude for how you really made me fall in love with biology (in particular, evolution and how different relations between species emerged).I live in Iraq, where evolution is taught in a conservative way but not entirely discarded. The more I know about the interactions and the stuff that's going on in your body to keep you alive, the more I love how outstanding our existence is. Unfortunately, I'd been taught that life came in the form that it does now. It literally put down my curiosity to know more about how these fascinating organisms came to be. Again, keep up your content so more people will probably share my experience (I almost forgot to say that I'm 15 and still in school, and I use much of your material to help me get through biology classes).😊🤩❤
  • Thank you for always clearing my concepts it's really helpful for my upcoming exam
  • @Ningen250
    This is one of the best channels or sources of informations ever, and what amazes me is the Precision and quality of the informations it just incredible, I want to you to talk about the chemical structure of any organism.
  • Your explanations and animations are amazing. Thanks so much for all that you do.
  • Superb work as usual! I did a double take when I saw some te reo Māori in your opening title. Te Ao Mārama "the world of light" traditionally refers to when Tāne (god of forests and birds) separated his parents Ranginui (the sky father) and Papatūānuku (the earth mother). This let the sun shine in between his parents and created our world, the world of light.
  • The best I have seen today on explaining the difference between DNA and RNA. Thank you so much!
  • @LeftSoulz
    I've aways thought about why we have this difference in the nucleotide T in DNA and U in RNA, its pretty interesting to see that its the same reason we have the difference between the RNA and DNA structure itself. brilliant!
  • @AKSB2790
    Love this channel, i will use this in future to explain these concepts to my son
  • no doubt you stated clearly all the concepts about dna your teaching way and animation is amazing
  • @Pingwn
    I am glad to see another science video from you! Do you know rather or not there is an example of an RNA virus switching to use DNA?
  • @tranquilious
    So far the best video on DNA and RNA on the internet! Thank u so much
  • @ShakaKG
    I like how upgraded are your animations are now. The sounds and detailed information that intersect with previous videos. Thank you
  • The best video for knowing the different between RNA and DNA. Thank you so much for making these kind of valuable informative videos.
  • @Damn_it.
    Thanks for the video just before my biology exam
