Our immune systems are amazing. Even when they go wrong, they’re still fascinating — at least to me.
For those of us who aren’t in healthcare or medicine, it’s not always easy to understand and separate out all the cells, the roles they play, etc. Even people who didn’t focus their studies on immunology can be stymied by it, too!
So, how does the immune system work? For the answer, take a look at this video from Kurzgesagt.
Kurzgesagt is one of my favorite YouTube channels, working to make it easier to understand big ideas from health and immunity to our climate crisis and beyond. It’s about making learning fun, regardless of the topic — and that’s absolutely my jam!!
If you want to learn more, check out their recent book — Immune: A Journey Into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive. It’s a gorgeous book, full of the same type of art you see in the video.
