Bacteria: did you die?
Tardigrade: Sadly yes .... BUT I LIVED

[RAMBO]

I'm a university dropout, and I'm not ashamed to admit I've learned more science from this channel and others than my entire scholar life.

[tommylee]

That old Hank Green Tardigrade video had me giggling the whole time. Hank trying to figure out his narrative voice...priceless!

[AryadiSubagio]

Man, I totally don't recognize the young Hank. Somehow he looks older than the current Hank.

[paultheaudaciousbradford]

Rotifers replace DNA the way I put Ikea furniture together. I always have a few extra screws or pieces that I end up adding to whatever it is. Kind of like a chair with a mutation.

[SLYKM]

Old sci show videos have a charm to them that I really enjoy. Kinda like its the a demo version of a song recorded in a garage studio vs the newer content which is more like the the studio version mastered with professional equipment.

[chromigula]

It's wild how different the tone and enthusiasm in the "young Hank" portion is. And that beard!

[SeanTrn]

Ya know, I don't think we as BROKE viewers say this enough. . . So (assuming any of ya read this) on behalf of all us budget ballers I wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH to yall who do the Patreon thing, so that the kick-booty Sci-Show team is able to let us learn for free and enjoy a break from reality while doin so 🙃✌️

[masonp]

We need to put a rotifier in a room with some broken up woolly mammoth genes, and say "FIX IT FOR US"

[sybilknight]

It was so adorable seeing Hank in the beginning talking about Tardigrades... 💖💖💖

[aaron]

Younger Hank looks like older Hanks' dad.

[grim]

Therapist: hipster hank isn't real, he can't hurt you
Hipster hank:

[duckydarrick]

One of my favorite professors in college discovered a species of tardigrade that was new to science.

[jonrios]

I remember the water bear from the MOST EXTREME on animal planet

[claudekingstan]

Well if humans nuked the entire world, Rotifers can heal from the nuclear radiation and take over the world.

[robinhahnsopran]

I literally subscribe to this channel for the purpose of discovering new ways science and nature are hardcore.

[bridgeb]

Just randomly got recommended a video from the channel. Immediately subbed and been binging it. What wonderful videos.

[minnymouse]

Wonder if any tardigrades landed on Jupiter's moon Europa

[fromfin]

Solid life tip, if facing stressful situations, take it like a guppy. Head on! Thank you scishow

[hazimahmad]

Bearded Hank threw me off. Not like in a negative way. But yeah
