Can we take a moment to appreciate how awesome the word Frost Quake is?

[threeio]

my favorite one is that it can suspend school days.

My god if these ice facts weren't so cool (heh) I'd be completely distracted by that dino top. I want that so badly, look at that thing.

OLIVIA I LOVE YOUR FOSSIL SHIRT!
That was pretty interesting, thanks. :)

My Chem Engineer bud said to me a while back that he has never appreciated how magnificent water is until he took advanced chemistry classes. Nothing else is even close to how weird water behaves.

Good job, Olivia, keep it up :)

So glad that the comments that have come to the top are positive and that I can't see the others without scrolling, which I don't intend to do.

Olivia has a great sweater on today, but I hope it isn't because the studio is being kept too cold. Hank, take care of your workers! <3
Great video as always.

I think people diss Olivia so much because she is so chill some perceive it as a lack of personality.

[jelenajones]

Honestly, I'm surprised to find so much hate in the comment section aimed at Olivia.. I was under the impression that the people who watched scishow were people like myself who were interested in learning new things and broadening their mind. Everyone has a right to voice their opinion, and mine is that there is no excuse for unnecessary hate aimed at any individual imparting the knowledge I thought we were all here to partake of, solely based on her physical features. Criticism is criticism but there's a right and wrong way to go about giving it

[ChaosPootato]

"Instagram shots of bacteria farts" cracked me up xD

[freedapeeple]

I know this video is a few years old, but I have to say that Olivia is the most improved presenter ever. She has worked her way to second place (behind Hank, of course) on SciShow. Thanks Olivia!

[Chiphunk]

Don't worry Olivia! There is the quiet majority that accept and welcome you as part of the show! I think these doubters just need to see you show off your craft a bit.

[Master_Therion]

Number 3 "Frost Quakes." I eat those for breakfast... they're Grrrreat!!

[sanYtheFox]

my question is ... where do you get this awesome shirt from?

[emmabaxy]

Olivia, if you are reading the comments, please don't pay attention to the people harassing you. You really inspire me to pursue science, and educate me in an informative and interesting way, which is more important then the bullies in the comments. Thank you!

[lmao]

All these comments about how everyone’s hating on her, but I haven’t seen a single negative comment lol
