I never get the low sub nick the best channel of its type.

[nicosmind]

Nick i watch your videos every week even though ive seen them multiple times. Youve no idea how happy another video makes me. Thanks Nick. You do amazing work :)

[MetaalArbeider]

While it is not as prevalent in this specific video, I really like how your videos focus not only on the scientific discovery or feat itself, but also shines a light on the human side of a research project. That really makes your videos stand out. Thank you for your work.

Absolutely one of my favorite channels! Educated, witty and all round entertaining narrator. Never fails to disappoint.

[dwightgaston]

Your very dry sense of humor is a perfect companion for the amazing and exciting revelations you're giving out, and I have no idea why. Who cares? I'm enjoying every minute of it. Congratulations.

[elizabethorman]

Hey thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. It was much needed. Like always, beautifully researched and produced, educational and entertaining, memorable and unique, and your decision to cover last year's great discoveries was a great one. Particularly water! Love it! And again, thank you for this, and I hope you are okay and staying safe.

I re-watched lasts years video last night so that Nick's dulcet tones could throat punch my insomnia. Here I get the new version this morning. Ironic lol. Thanks Nick, I've been here since 1.5k subs and im convinced this channel is about to take off.

15k subs is way too low for the quality

[erictaylor]

57:00 A better quality video is well worth the wait, even if it is 4 months "late."
You did a fantastic job (again).
