I spent four minutes analyzing that forklift, so good. 👌

[kiramack]

i am doing unit 1 & 2 bio (in australia, my first year of my final two year of schooling) and our distance course has at least on of your videos almost every week, they are so easy to understand and a lot more engaging than the other videos we have to watch!

[beginnerexpert]

Stem cells are like Evees! They can evolve into different types of Pokemon, or cells, with specials stones, like the factors!

[CovensAgainstTheThrone]

Watching for 7th grade science, we use your channel a LOT! Thanks for being there- especially for online classes!

[harrypotteravenclaw]

is there anyway to donate to the channel, you've helped me loads!

[ellenlathrom]

Love the part that Petuina mindcontroled the stomatic stem cell.I also ❤️ the forklift and the back to the future 🚗.Loved it.

[aus]

anyone else using this for homework xD great video! I understand this topic really well thanks to you

[skunkyraccoon]

My biology teacher has the class watch your videos often, and I love them since the topics are always explained so well, and the animation makes it entertaining. Keep up the good work!

Here's a comment of appreciation for that forklift!
It's a very well drawn forklift.
Thank you for spending the time and effort to bring it into existence.

[nikoru]

I just want to say how cute your animation is like I am just "awwww-ing" all the time. And thank you for your hard work and effort to do this. You save countless students you know. You're such a great teacher, Ms. Petunia.

[simohayha]

This is the best not only because it's informative, but it also has english subtitle.

[aliwhitehead]

These videos are literally the best. They are the only reason I have a decent grade in Biology. So thank you for what you do!

[marcoantoniov.t.]

Incredible potential of the stem cells!! By the way, congratulations for having such a great science channel, I really enjoy it, you make really easier to understand difficut subjects.

[marsal]

Please may you make a video on action potentials and nerves. It would be great to watch and learn it from your videos. I recommend you to everyone. My nine year old sister can recognise DNA, she doesn't know what it's for, but she likes watching your animations with me.
All three of us have some sister bonding time just watching your videos. Thank you for you great efforts!

[redheadredemption]

These videos are fantastic!! Please please please do a whole course on molecular biology 🙏

[bagelbites]

I've watched you in my Biology class but they were some of your old videos
I love how clean your art is now

[rsaed]

I study biochemistry and your videos are so beneficial. Thanks 😘

[Sam-hrit]

my teacher assigned this as online school.

[jennaanderson]

I absolutely love all of your videos! Even though I am not be learning how cells become specialized right now, I still love the information and I will probably be ahead of the game when this lesson comes up in my High School science class.

as a premedstud who has adhd and struggle with executive function, amoeba sisters is really a lifesaver!
