From the Ted Talk by Anna Rothschild: Why you should love gross science

Unscramble the Blue Letters


(Laughter)

And the comment section for that video became sort of like a self-help section, where people could talk about their tnsoil stone experiences and, like, tips and tricks for getting rid of them. And I think it became this great way for people to talk about something that they'd never felt comfortable taking about piublcly. And that is wnrfeodul when it's about something as goofy as tonsil stones, but it's a little sad when a video can have an effect like that when it's about something as common as pdroies.

Last February, I released a video on menstruation, and to this day, I am still getting mseeagss from poelpe around the gbole who are asking me about their periods. There are a lot of yonug people — and some not-so-young people — out there, who are worried that what's happening to their bodies is somehow not normal. And, of course, I always tell them that I am not a medical professional, and that, if possible, they should talk to a doctor. But the truth of the matter is that everyone should feel comfortable talking to a doctor about their own bodies. And that's why I think it's really important for us to start this dialogue about gross stuff from a pretty elary age, so we can let our kids know that it's alright to have agency over your own body and over your own health.

Original Text


(Laughter)

And the comment section for that video became sort of like a self-help section, where people could talk about their tonsil stone experiences and, like, tips and tricks for getting rid of them. And I think it became this great way for people to talk about something that they'd never felt comfortable taking about publicly. And that is wonderful when it's about something as goofy as tonsil stones, but it's a little sad when a video can have an effect like that when it's about something as common as periods.

Last February, I released a video on menstruation, and to this day, I am still getting messages from people around the globe who are asking me about their periods. There are a lot of young people — and some not-so-young people — out there, who are worried that what's happening to their bodies is somehow not normal. And, of course, I always tell them that I am not a medical professional, and that, if possible, they should talk to a doctor. But the truth of the matter is that everyone should feel comfortable talking to a doctor about their own bodies. And that's why I think it's really important for us to start this dialogue about gross stuff from a pretty early age, so we can let our kids know that it's alright to have agency over your own body and over your own health.
