I need to say a very HUGE thank you to this channel for getting me through 1st year of my nursing degree. I went back to school to get a bachelor's degree in nursing at age 35, and honestly, the first year, I almost gave up. I got theough biology and genetics and even biochemistry thanks to you guys. I will be graduating in November with a distinction, so from the depth of my left ventricle, thank you so much

[Ferrothorn]

All hail the Amoeba Sisters! 😁 You guys have seriously helped me through my Freshman Biology course last year, now I'm a Sophomore taking AP Bio, my teacher is REALLY good but I still like to watch your videos to help out, thank you all so much for continuing to make and upload videos!

[miceptic]

This channel carried my freshman year 🙏

[ItIsTheLordWhoKeepsme]

This channel played a role in me choosing microbiology as a course

[That-Dam-Nerd]

I just wanted to give the Amoeba Sisters’ channel a GIANT thank you for helping me to learn this stuff. I am currently a 9th grade freshman in high school, and I am taking Honors Biology. These videos on DNA, RNA, cells, the cell cycle, and biochemistry are really helping me with my school work and studies. I currently want to earn degrees in mechanical, civil, and bio mechanical engineering, and I am currently wanting to go to Duquesne University for college. Because of these videos, I am now head of my class. We are not even learning about DNA and RNA processes and the Cell Cycle yet, and I already know a lot on these topics. Because of these videos, I am growing to be increasingly interested in how cells and genetics work. Thank you a lot, and I look forward to watching some more advanced videos on biology. Thank you Amoeba Sisters!

[juancaldererbenitez]

I have been watching your videos for the past 5 years, you got me through high school and university My sincerest thankyou from Australia

[Phymacss]

First year of high school and I’m binge watching your videos! They help a lot!! Even my teacher uses your gifs in her powerpoints❤

[AmitKumar-qxeh]

Thank You very much Amoeba Sisters .... I had come to know about this channel from my school teacher ...I really like the explanation by you, ,I usually prefer your channel to others also 😊😊😊

Lots and Lots of Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[Rhythm]

Love this channel 🫀
Very educational and understandable 🧠🧬

[Foxtrot]

As someone who's looking into learning more about genetic engineering for the sake of wildlife conservation, this is a great video to start with. I understand the ethical part of it; though hearing about the Takhi Horse foals that were cloned is pretty fascinating and something that can be done with other critically endangered species as well.

[saivion]

Yall are a childhood treasure, you know that 😂

[yangtzemian]

This channel is the best🤩thank you so much Amoeba Sisters!💗

[teacherhxang]

This channel is a lifesaver for me as a Science teacher 😂

The explanation is very easy for the kids to think of and understand

Nowadays I tend to open Amoeba sisters video in the class as overview on a topic

Then only dive into the textbooks

The teaching progress had been smooth ever since

Thank you so much!

[beedo]

Funny thing is, I just learned about the CRISPR cas system in the last uni lecture so this video came in time to solidify my understanding of it so thank you very much!

[NagaEvolution]

Your videos inspired me to get into biotechnology! Thank you!

[kristabuhagiar]

You deserve nothing but the best, your videos have really helped me out throughout secondary school! However, I must say that sometimes I feel like the voice explanations and just a bit too fast and I often have to replay parts of the video to wrap my head around certain concepts. Other than that I really love the fun animations! 💞

[connorbeighley]

You are a big help to me. I enjoy your videos and learn so much from you! Thanks for helping me stay curious.

[Gabriel-tgob]

I am from the future to predict your teacher has linked you to this amazing youtuber

[aidanveroni]

This has been a huge help to review for my exams

[TheDiamondMaskBSS]

wake up, new amoeba sisters just dropped
