SciShow Videos about COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines

[tippetariuswrites]

I went looking for videos that explain how mRNA vaccines work, and why we were able to develop effective mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 so quickly. These two by SciShow are really informative yet easy to follow. I remember watching some of Hank Green's Crash Course Biology videos back in 2012, and I'm glad he's still out there making videos to help demystify science.

Thanks, I didn't know about this series! I just watched one about a dying ciliate. Pretty heavy stuff, the way he talks about the death of this little speck of life and then relates it to the death coming for us all. Now I'm moving onto the one about how microorganisms pee.

Man, I've watched an awful lot of videos today.

I never think about how many videos I watch until I'm trying to recommend something to someone and I can't recall the name of the video, but I think to myself, "I just watched that. It'll be faster to just open up my History and scroll down." And... it's never faster.
