Hi Patrons –
We've got a fun one for you today, featuring the beloved species of our very own hyena expert, Kate Yoshida. It turns out that, thanks to spotted hyenas’ unusual social structure, males experience a tough life of solitude, harassment, and deprivation.
Take a sneak peek...

Hi Patrons!
Earthworms are supposed to be nature's gardeners, but not all plants benefit from having them around. In this weeks video, we burrow into the surprising impact worms are having on the forests of northern North America.
We'll make the video live soon, but for now, enjo...

Hey Patrons!
Our latest video is about how, because of some very cool space physics, a single, faraway asteroid is likely the progenitor of almost a THIRD of all the meteorites on Earth.
The video is now live to Patrons, and will go public shortly. Check it out here:
Hi Patrons! Did you know that there's a global network of sensors designed to listen for nuclear bomb tests? Well, it turns out that scientists can learn a ton about our planet from tuning in to the sounds that the network picks up. Like, for instance...watch the video to find out!

Dear patrons,
A bee or not a bee? That is the question we tackle in today's video, since it can be hard to distinguish bees from all the other insects out there that look like bees.

Whew! We've got a lot going on.
We hope you like this new video about how our diets are more global than we realize because our common food crops and animals were domesticated far away in diverse locations.

Dear patrons,
We made a trailer to give new viewers a sense of what MinuteEarth is about.
It won't be new to you, since some of you have watched MinuteEarth since we first said Hello World over 4 years ago, but we hope you enjoy the 40-second journey through our videos anyway!

Dear Patrons,
We let David and Ever experiment by making a video (almost) all on their own, and... they turned to drugs. Or rather, stereochemistry - how a tiny change in a molecule’s geometry completely changes its effects on the human body. Let us know what you think!
They talk about how...

Tomorrow around 10:30 am Central US time, we're planning to post a video that may or may not look different than our normal videos, but which we made in a very different way. We'll also share a behind-the-scenes style vlog explaining how it happened, and asking for your feedback.
