This video describes how scientists silence different genes in regenerating planaria to study the process of regeneration at the molecular level.

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 animation shows how the cancer treatment Gleevec inhibits the cancer-causing protein BCR-ABL.

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 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 video provides a demonstration of bioluminescent bacteria glowing in the dark.

This animation explores the LUX operon, a set of five genes that are involved in bacterial bioluminescence.
