这是我在互联网上看到的我最喜欢的视频之一。(惊叹!)它将数十部科学纪录片和特别节目的片段拼接在一起,并配上令人惊叹的音乐,youtube 用户 UppruniTegundanna 首先追溯了人类的历史,整合了技术和艺术的发展。然后它转向精美地可视化了地球上最严重的几次大灭绝,然后从头开始——从大爆炸,太阳系和地球的形成,最初的分子以及我们所知的生命的进化开始。

它涵盖了很多领域,而且做得非常好。准备好迎接连续 12 分钟的激动和震撼吧。每次我看它都会有这种感觉,而且次数已经数不清了。

Hannah Waters is a science writer fascinated by the natural world, the history of its study, and the way people think about nature. On top of science blogging, she runs the Smithsonian's Ocean Portal, a marine biology education website, and is science editor for Ladybits.

Hannah is a child of the internet, who coded HTML frames on her Backstreet Boys fanpage when she was in middle school. Aptly, she rose to professional science writing through blogging (originally on Wordpress) and tweeting profusely. She's written for The Scientist, Nature Medicine, Smithsonian.com, and others.

Before turning to full-time writing, Hannah wanted to be an oceanographer or a classicist, studying Biology and Latin at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. She's done ecological research on marine food webs, shorebird conservation, tropical ecology and grassland ecosystems. She worked as a lab technician at the University of Pennsylvania studying molecular biology and the epigenetics of aging. And, for a summer, she manned a microphone and a drink shaker on a tour boat off the coast of Maine, pointing out wildlife and spouting facts over a loudspeaker while serving drinks.
