Every time he answers its like he's telling us a story, rather than regurgitating an answer. I could listen to him all day.

How on earth does WIRED get the professionals who are literally the most passionate people on the planet?

I never heard a guy describe the literal siphoning of my blood so passionately without being a vampire.

[FluffyFractalshard]

he is the type of biology teacher that would be able to easily hold the attention of any classe just by the way he speaks so excited about things

[kawasumiimaii]

His natural speech pattern is like a nature documentary. I love it.

So relieved that someone has finally described the feeding process of a tick the way it should be, like an A24 psychological thriller.

Love how Thor is so invested in every explanation. That's oozing dedication. Admirable

He's like an eccentric neighbor or uncle that you have, but when you finally have a conversation with them, they're the coolest person you've ever met.

I love how he smile even when telling in detail how an animal dies. It really shows how passionate and how much love he has to his career

Give this guy his own animal documentary series like a more chill Bill Nye. His explanations are like a little story and you don't make anyone feel bad about their questions. Bravo this was one of the most entertaining biology videos I have watched in awhile

My high school history teacher had this kind of passion and enthusiasm. All he did was lecture and we hung on his every word. He was an amazing teacher and an amazing storyteller. Such a fun class

[ortik]

It's amazing how this person can literally infuse you with his pure enthusiasm for his job. We really need more of this kind of people teaching the children. And the adults too! <3
