This short video explores how a baby’s microbiome is established during birth.

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

This animation illustrates the main stages of the water cycle in Gorongosa National Park, an ecosystem that experiences both wet and dry seasons.

This animation shows how a region of the brain called the cerebral cortex develops in a human fetus.

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 animation tracks how the human brain develops over nine months of gestation.

This animation shows how varying concentrations of a signaling molecule activate different transcription factors to determine cell fate.

This animation gives an overview of how a fertilized human egg develops into an embryo.

This animation describes the formation and fates of the three germ layers in a human embryo.

This animation shows how somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) creates an embryo from an egg cell and a body cell.
