I love how you explained Mitosis better in 8 minutes than my teacher could in an hour.

I honestly can't tell whether these videos are made to explain these things to my 8 year old cousin, or to help me through my college classes - and I say this truly genuine applause. It takes a special kind of talent to make this kind of content that is so clear yet jam packed with information that the background of it's audience is a non factor.

I'm a 1st year Bio student and I really loved your style of presentation. So much so that I believe you did way better teaching than what my professor did yesterday.

i recently took a science exam that 70% of the school failed. in preparation for the exam, I binge watched all the Amoeba Sisters videos I could find. I earned a 95, which was the highest test score in the entire school. Thank you sooo much for these amazing videos.

No one:

Nucleus during metaphase: Ight I’m about to head out

[guingwin]

This is much clearer and understandable 8 minute presentation than the 1 hour online class.

[MasterCoder]

Simply brilliant. Its amazing how you can use simple animations to communicate a complex topic.

[hirohamada]

Everybody's talking that they have exams tomorrow, but why is no one talking bout how cute this animation

[grapepear]

Who has a test tomorrow about this and is watching this because you don’t pay attention in class like me ?

[GothicChic]

I graduated a year ago and I'm still watching these kind of videos, I'm a visual learner so these videos really helped my smooth brain become big brain 😎😅

[saralouise]

Great video, really helped me with my online classes as I prep to qualify for my Nursing! Pro tip, I like to think "A" for "apart" rather than "away" for anaphase because the chromosomes aren't exactly moving away themselves, they're being pulled apart by the spindle fibers

[probablysamie]

Another way to remember the phases in Mitosis is, "I Passed My Algebra Test". The I stands for Interphase, P stands for Prophase, M stands for Metaphase, A is for Anaphase, and T is for Telophase. Hope this helped!

[ayatsheikh]

P: Please
M: Make
A: Another
T: Twin
Just another way to remember it.

I've been struggling to understand this for 2 years and I listened it from different teachers 3 times. I can't believe it was this easy to learn. Thank you so much for making things understandable

[GeorgiaGrown]

I like to remember the stages as " Probably Means Another Test" ^>^

[forminlet]

My friend: What are you learning about?
Me: *My toe sis*

[robertward]

I like to think about the centrioles as being buff oiled up firemen (who just want to help) who pull the spindle fibers with their big muscles.

[jenavalencia]

I am a college student taking chem/bio and I am really struggling but these women summed it up so well that I am feeling a little better about the exam I have coming up. I will be watching more, thank you.
