Update on the Chimp Wars: they're still pretty active!
One of the researchers we spoke to for research on our Chimp War Deep Dive back in 2024 just published a new paper about the chimp war happening in Ngogo.
You can even hear some of the chimps fighting in the background of his interview in our Deep Dive!

In January 1925, the children of Nome, Alaska faced a deadly diphtheria outbreak. Every child in Nome and its surrounding towns were in danger. Their local doctor couldn’t stop the progression of the disease, and with the next closest doctor being 10 days away, things did not look good.
We make no assumptions here… but depending on your age, you might know where this is going. This story has a happy ending thanks to some very good boys and girls. One of these good boys, Balto, has even been memorialized in museums and on film. But how much of the 1995 animated movie is true?
@mayahiga leads us through the incredible story in our latest Deep Dive!

There are so many life-changing revelations about the universe that we’ve discovered over time. Telling you about them is a large part of what we’ve been doing almost daily at SciShow for the last 14 years. What keeps us going is you.
We do what we can: making hundreds of videos every year, getting curious about our world, and telling stories backed up by real science that you can trust. As times change, we do our best to cut through the noise and focus on putting good information out there into the world. You’re a vital part of that equation.
We’ve always needed you, but now more than ever, we need your help.
