"Smells like knowledge"! She did it! Emily loves her fans, probably! Or at least listens to us. I'm excited.

[syntacticalcrab]

OOOH! OOH! THE GROSSOMETER YES! I've missed you, Grossometer <3

[brookellschott]

I just spent all of my free time in the last two days watching every single episode. Thank you so much for making this show!

[Kaneanite]

Incomplete collection data! I've never been more terrified in my life.

[burgerphle]

Aah, so nice to see the Grossometer again.

[JannaEllisKepley]

I ADORED the spooky tale of incomplete notes!

[animalsforsmartpeople]

I was hoping for a Halloween episode! Nice to also have the (always smart) message of 'don't swim in pee'!

[Reavyn]

Yay! You put it in!

Also, incomplete notes is a nightmare no one should have to go through...

[albacre]

Those are some serious teleprompter reading skills. That ain't easy! Love the show!!

[aasmodeus]

I just *had* to watch this a second time!.... The first time I was just staring at the hand waving around...

[MadisynBowen]

Truly a spoopy episode. I am thoroughly spooped~

[ReallyIntoBirds]

The gross meter is back! Very nice spooky episode.

[patrickmccurry]

I love the tenrecs for being the only known mammal if not vertebrate that communicates with stridulation; rubbing special quills together.

[Skinnyrd]

Great show and great necklace in the second segment. During the last segment it made me miss home but was a little odd seeing birds being picked apart by people not in camouflage. Thanks for your hard work!

[NBejiaFlor]

Knowledge sometimes smells like incomplete notes. Another great episode! :D

[HerbertErpaderp]

I love the smell of knowledge in the morning!

[juliapellegrinelli]

6:00 That Arrested Development reference made me love this show even more

[valiantknight]

I've spent the last two days watching Every Single One of your videos, and I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED ABOUT SCIENCE FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS HOLY CRAP.
Really. Seriously. I've babbled about everything from the hero shrew to the length of hosenose's tongue to just how cool naked mole rats are to my fortunately pretty patient but kind of uninterested roomates. I'm so glad i found this channel and i'm definitely going to watch it as often as possible in the future.

[kennikitty]

I just love how you're playing around with the skeleton forearm/hand the entire time. :D

[willmendoza]

When the Grossometer popped up, I was hoping we'd get an old-fashioned specimen prep segment. I was honestly pretty bummed out when that didn't happen.
