This four-part animation series explores the biology of the virus SARS-CoV-2, which has caused a global pandemic of the disease COVID-19.

This video showcases the work of mathematician-turned-biologist Corina Tarnita, who uses quantitative approaches to understand the role of termite mounds in the savanna ecosystem.

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 animation shows how a single species can give rise to many different species with distinct traits, using anole lizards as an example.

This film explores four decades of research on the evolution of Galápagos finches, which has illuminated how species form and diversify.

This film explores the adaptation of anole lizards (genus Anolis) to habitats common across the islands of the Caribbean. The anoles are excellent examples of adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, and speciation through reproductive isolation.

This film tells the story of the scientists and the evidence involved in one of the most important scientific quests of the 20th century: the discovery of the structure of DNA.

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

This animation shows how a variety of proteins interact to regulate the transcription of eukaryotic DNA into RNA.
