It helps me a lot :) WHO AM I? Hey, I’m Dan. I double majored in biology and psychology and am now pursuing a PhD in evolutionary biology (I study bugs). I make deep-dive videos about broad topics in evolution, ecology, and psychology and try to give as well-educated and integrative explanations as I can. I plan to stick around on YouTube for a while, so I hope to see you around for years to come!
