Please give a very warm welcome to our newest SciShow Resident, Denali! ⁠ ⁠ Denali has been hard at work for the last several months inside our process. They researched, pitched, and wrote 10 episodes. Then, they came to our studio to host them! They will make their SciShow debut later this month. ⁠

There will be an on-screen warning ahead of these images, and we will include time codes to skip in the description. Look for this graphic! All anatomical props in this video are replicas."
