This video follows germplasm bank coordinator Cristian Zavala Espinosa and geneticist Sarah Hearne, who are part of the global effort to preserve the genetic diversity of maize (corn).

This video follows biologist Elinor Karlsson, who studies dogs to find genes associated with traits, including certain diseases.

This animated short video celebrates the early 20th-century German astronomer and atmospheric scientist Alfred Wegener, who first proposed that continents once formed a single landmass and had drifted apart.

This film explores the genetic and archaeological evidence that suggest that corn is the result of the domestication of a wild Mexican grass called teosinte.

This video provides an overview of the types of genes that, when mutated, can lead to the development of cancer.

This animation provides an overview of some basic concepts from plate tectonics, a fundamental theory in earth science.

This video provides a demonstration of the principle of isostasy, the idea that the continental crust “floats” on the underlying mantle.

This animation explores how carbon enters the atmosphere and can be removed through a series of chemical reactions.

This film explores how gene duplications and mutations have led to remarkable physiological adaptations in Antarctic fish.

This video provides a demonstration of two main principles in the study of rock layers: superposition and association.

This animation shows how a mutation that allows adult humans to digest milk can be lost or spread under different circumstances.

This video explores how people developed the different breeds of dogs that exist today through selective breeding.
