Theres something so adorable about entomologists. they have this bright enthusiasm and appreciation for these small creatures that most of the population isnt too crazy about- but its almost as if theyve discovered their own little tiny world of like.. bug-Narnia.
Pretty sure anybody who is passionate about such fields would seem kind of adorable in a dorky way. Works in the medical lab lol. We get excited over the strangest things.
@@elyassambas7148 Also he will set up alerts to his cellphone and when an alert comes, he uses a vpn to boost his comment to the top.. its easy to figure out when people do it... the 'crypto scam' comments do the same thing.
@@catnotcat9793 he uses a vpn and multiple accounts to get top comments instantly on a new upload because he set up alerts and a vpn to boost every time he comments on the internet. Totally easy to manipulate the top comment on these sites with a simple vpn.. this guy obviously uses it.. its always anime people, and weebs, go figure.
Idk who at Wired is responsible for the brief of finding "hot, charismatic field experts with great communication skills" but they hit the jackpot with Dr Ramsey
Yeah, they are always hot & funny as well as extremely knowledgeable & intelligent; I’m absolutely loving it 🤤 It’s also nice to see they’re not playing into the loser nerd stereotype and instead making being Intelligent & knowledgeable cool again.
except he was wrong about the ants many ant colonies can support multiple queens but most northern species of ants do not tolerate more than one queen. If he was incorrect about this it makes me wonder what else he is incorrect about.
Dr Ramsey: the bugs don't care about you. They're not interested in you. They don't want you. Me: a minute ago I was afraid of bugs, but now I want them to love me.
I’ve felt this way for such a long time! Like, i might legitimately enjoy hearing someone talk about paint dry if they’re genuinely enthusiastic about it. Love seeing folks light up like that. Proof that there’s still magic in our world, imo.
There is something so joyous about watching an expert do their thing. He's so amazing! A fantastic stage presence that never feels pretentious or unapproachable.
yea, my mother's cousin's husband was an entomologist and once when he came over he was so fascinated by the massive bee colony living in a tree in our yard and the small hornet nest that was behind our house.
Please don't make evil normalized please! GOD IS COMING REPENT! BEFORE IT'S LATE!!!! Be baptized with Holy Spirit and water. Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live." God isn't an monster God loves you and so do I. Give your life to Jesus Christ and repent of all your sins, even the ones you've committed in the past.
Dr. Ramsey, aka Dr. Sammy, is the ultimate communicator of all things entomological, his contributions to our understanding of the insect world are just beginning. Looking forward to more!
Not only is this guy really charismatic but you can tell he truly loves his profession. He also has a way of explaining things that makes what a lot of people would call boring or uninteresting topics absolutely fascinating
I hope this guy is a teacher irl, cuz I could listen to him for hours. There’s something captivating about him and he makes me wanna listen to what he has to say.
it used to anger me so much as a kid, i was a huge fan of bugs and had a book full of close up images of them. i recognized the one in the episode as a fly straight away, partly because of the buzzing and of the lack of the long tongue. this video really feels like a validation.
@@logan4114 let ppl be excited about representation, especially wen you don’t see or know many or any that look like you when it was intentional for longer than just coincidence
Like how a butterfly REALLY looks below the surface of water? Or that horror movies go overboard with too many bugs. Keep studying comics for that premium education.
@@truthsRsung Mate....this is part two of a (informative video)series. If this dude is really interested(In furthering their education) I guarantee that this is not all they saw. Edits in parentheses for clarity.
Fun fact: in the snowpiercer movie, the food processor was originally full of human bodies, but in test showings they decided it was too extreme, and replaced it with bugs.
That cockroach fact explains a lot. My dad told me once that when he went to use a label printer, it stopped working for a second, but all of a sudden it made a noise like a gun firing and a cockroach had shot out of the label printer onto the floor. It was completely flattened, but still alive.
This gentleman is like the best y'all have ever had, he is excellent, I love him. He is informative, eloquent, great sense of humor and his screen-presence is great
this is my first time seeing someone use the term "screen-presence." idk why. screen-presence and stage-presence are definitely two very different things.
I love how even an entomologist as enthusiastic as him is slightly weirded out by things like how flies eat and the messed up nature of wasp lifecycles. I know it makes perfect sense: but it still amuses me.
I love when people in a hobby or profession contradict themselves 😂 I'm a huge tarantula hobbyist but sometimes even I get scared when mine lunge at me
Knowing so much jargo, being so knowledgeable about the field and doing it all in front of a camera with no script. How can he still be that radiating?
I particularly appreciated the distinction between parasites who want to keep their hosts alive, and parasitoids that don't. I knew about some of the parasitic wasps and such, but I had no idea of the different terminology between them and true parasites. Fleas, for instance, would be parasites, I assume.
I want to be a forensic entomologist in the future and it is so stressful telling people how harmless “scary” looking bugs are. I try my best to explain the benefits of insects and how they literally don’t even want to eat or attack humans. But at least I’m the one they call to take a spider out of the house instead of them killing it
My, Dearly Departed, Maternal Aunt would Catch 🕷 Spiders, Big and Small and take Them Outside, to Release Them! I do My Best, to do the Same, with Other Bugs, as Well Because, I can't Bear the Thought of Killing Them, when They Accidentally come into the House.
So the lesson about irrational fears worked for you? Do you think Sammy understands how the viewer get to see SpongeBob's thoughts and feelings through video clips of real life? Or that that butterfly visited SpongeBob under water?
Dr. Ramseys conclusion is the exact reason I got into my major (forensics) in the first place. I saw these portrayals on tv and was curious about the legitimacy of it and did my own research. When I started to learn the facts I found I was genuinely interested in it to a point where I wanted to make it my career.
His whole vibe makes me smile! A lot of bugs creep me out, but people like him help me less nervous around them. The enthusiasm and delight is infectious!
I've never seen an entomologist, let alone a black entomologist. I love this so much 🖤 °before anyone asks, the fact he's black is important due to diversity and representation of a certain type of people you hardly/never see in certain fields°
@@chetan1329 No. Etymology is the study of words and their origins. I only know this because I like having a decent vocabulary. You have Google, my friend...What did the Entomologist say at the end of the video about curiosity and doing your own research? That's exactly why. You should be more curious in life.
I love the tiny details in A Bug's Life, like how the Princess' name (Atta) is a genus of leafcutter ants that gather and store food and use it to grow fungus that they then consume.
This guy is an amazing communicator. Would love if this was recurring. He is so intelligent and like when he speaks I have no follow up questions in regards to stuff that he may have missed/misspoke, like he is so good at covering everything in a few sentences. Like all my follow up questions are just things regarding how interesting his facts are
I've been seeing Sam on a few different channels lately, and I have to say, this man just embodies excellence. Brilliant and a personality so positive and engaging that its impossible not to watch for me lol
I remember back in grammar school years, my sugar cube building project was the only one to not get "attacked" by ants.. Because I knew that ants won't cross cinnamon so I lined the outer border with it.. Ended up earning bonus points for that after explaining to the teacher why I used cinnamon, that being because to ants there are volatile compounds in cinnamon that will repel or kill them if they try crossing it..
Honey bees are not the only bees that are dying because of us. Don’t forget the solitary bees just pollinating our plants and specialize in many of our crops, like the bitty bitty bumble that boom boom booms tomato flowers so that they will be pollinated properly.
I have some highly technical skills I use on a regular basis with those who don't, and consider myself ok at communicating. Watching Professor Ramsey is inspiring. There's a dry wit and succinctness -- "Insects have motivations, that are not even remotely foreign to our own. They want food. The vast majority of them do not eat people." Well said.
I think what makes Dr. Sammy so enjoyable to listen to is you can hear how passionate he is about his area of expertise! That passion and interest is contagious to the people listening (at least for myself anyway)
Dr. Ramsey is wonderful and I love hearing him talk about arthropods! Also: I learned something about shellfish allergies and insect protein that could very well save a life!
I hate bugs with my entire heart (my body had spasms when he talked about the parasitoids and I remembered that video of a poor slug 😭😭) but I couldn’t stop watching this. He’s so charismatic and smart 🥺
Sammy is so adorable. He just seems like he’s genuinely passionate about his profession and loves sharing his knowledge. It’s always nice to see someone who loves what they do and is happy to share ❤️
When my wife was in Entomology grad school she realized the non-big-Ag research jobs, the good academic jobs, and the Extension Service jobs were gone forever, so she investigated other fields. She got an offer in Forensic Entomology, took the tour including the "Figure out time of death by keying the larvae eating the corpse", did an interview, and said "I'd rather starve." She became a data scientist
"Be willing to do you're own research, and don't let your curiosity die" is exactly why I love this host... or whatever you call these people in these videos xD
In the Philippines, the lore around earwigs is that they crawl on you and specifically try to bite your testicles. Just your testicles. I'm not kidding.
