Dr.Nemo
Hello there, I'm Nemo! I'm a neuroscientist turned science communicator, making YouTube videos about the strange, the weird and the queer corners of biology and science. Expect animated ideas, musical tangents and the occasional skit, all in the name of making weird knowledge stick.
To this day, I've made 54 videos, gathered 276,460 views and 8.22k subscribers.

Videos
On my YouTube channel I dive into the wonderful aspects of biology, and science more broadly. But this is not just about science. It's a celebration of the strange, the weird, the queer. It's where I talk about what I love while being who I am.
Some videos I'm proud of:

// hello world
Hi,
It's a little hard for me to clearly define what I do, and by extension who I am. I hope that sharing what I believe in, and how I see the world, might help.
I believe curiosity and discovery are worth protecting,especially in a world that often rewards certainty over exploration. At the same time, I preach critical thinking and scientific approaches, as crucial tools to discern the truth.
I believe in the importance of mistakes,and that there is no one single way of doing something right.
We have been given the strange opportunity to exist, to feel and think.I like to think of us as the Universe becoming conscious for a fleeting moment on a cosmic scale. The only thing we can do, really, is ask ourselves questions about who we are and be kind to one another. So, I believe in asking, and I believe in loving.
tap a word
I'm , , , and .
I see patterns everywhere, pull together ideas that may seem totally unrelated, and like to talk a lot. Sometimes I get very obsessive, and I let that run wild on my channel, sharing whatever I'm hyperfixating on at the moment.
Becoming vegan made me question humanity's place on this planet, environmentally and ethically. We are not inherently superior to other beings, and no one deserves to die for our lifestyle, whether it's our taste buds or fashion choices. Living in a non-vegan world can feel alienating, but I've found a deep sense of peace in aligning my actions with my values and doing what I can to reduce suffering.
Growing up multicultural helped me realize how many things we take as "true" are shaped by a cultural lens. Facts and evidence are essential, but culture, tradition and lived experience also shape how we make sense of the world. I've never truly felt like a local, but I find beauty in belonging to many worlds at once.
Being non-binary makes me see the gaps, the exclusion, and the outright hostility queer people face. I fight patriarchy, I defend queer voices, and I'm not afraid to call out the TERFs and bigots along the way.
Because I don't believe love is containable.
