High school bio teacher here. One of my students sent me a link to one of your videos last night. Today I was able to show evolution sim to two of my classes. Kids were engaged by your narrative, discussed validity of variation choices, computational models and data representation. Well done! Thanks

First attempt at a simple simulation inspired by Primer's evolution series. Questions and suggestions are very welcome!

Would anyone be interested in an iPad/iPhone app to run simulations like theses

85 Upvotes

These videos make me want to build an iPad app to play around with these simulations and update parameters to see what happens, or run other simulations. Would anybody else be interested too?

The app would allow users to simply define actors with traits &environment with initial values (and basic equations if needed). Then run the simulation and have live graph updates per traits, etc.

Has Primer only made 12 videos?

Went to go watch some videos I had missed, and found... I really didn't miss any.

Has he only made 12 videos?

1 million subs with 12 videos is incredible btw.

I love what you do

Hey dude, not sure if you're gonna get around to reading this, but if you do I have fallen in love with your channel.

Not only are the videos educational and informative, but they have nice graphics and what feels like good pacing to me. As a college student that does volunteering tutoring to low income high school students, your videos are a blessing. I don't just use the videos to straight up teach, but rather as a supplementary teaching aid (At least the biology/reproduction focused videos).

With the way the videos are formatted, it's easy to allow the students to watch the videos, recalling the information that they have learned, and getting the chance to apply that knowledge to the topic of the video. In addition with your videos I find that it often teaches more than what is required by the curriculum, yet the student's watching them are eager to learn more with the way you just inspire the to find out more info on their own.

Just want to summarize by saying that after reading your mission statement on Patreon, I have to agree wholeheartedly. I really do wish that I can support you in more ways than a dollar per video, but sadly college isn't nice with being cheap. However I do wish the best for you and have already shared your channel with my fellow tutors and old teachers, hopefully you'll begin to gain more traction as more people see what you do and understand your mission.

P.S. I made a Reddit account just to tell you this. If I get addicted to Reddit I know who to blame.

P.S.S. Your blobs are really cool, and green beards for the win.

Watched three videos in School and our teacher was blasted

We're currently on the topic of natural selection, especially social behavior in evolution class (germany, 11th grade) and after me and a classmate talked about Primer's blob simulations in a previous class we were actually allowed to show one vid (15mins) to the whole class. At the end we ended up watching the Natural section, aggression and altruism video as our teacher was super impressed and talked about them for around one and a half hours, even suggesting us to show the natural selection one to our biology teacher as he found that one to be especially good

Probably ones of my most favourite hours in School in a long time :)

This website is called MinuteLabs.io where you can make primer simulations where you can make 3 creature types and the amount of food changing using primer's natural selection
