A video gift from a student
I know I've already posted two videos about the human population reaching seven billion, but a student used the following one during student presentations yesterday and it was too good not to share. Honestly, it hits the highlights of an entire week of my lectures in human population in just under three minutes. It's so good, I'll be using it to conclude my population lectures from now on.
