When I was 2, one of the first science videos I ever watched was by the Amoeba Sisters – two amorphous amoebas that teach science. I think the topic of that video was viruses. I played it over and over and over. Then I watched the next one. Fast forward 3 years and here I am talking to Brianna and Sarina (the two real life sisters behind the Amoeba Sisters). How cool is that!!! In this episode, we discuss mitosis, DNA replication, viruses and so much more!
