Did I rip off a Ze Frank video for my own?? No, but it’s a good excuse to talk about what is and isn’t copying in the world of science videos!

Caitlin Doughty’s other book From Here to Eternity is also fantastic!! Stylistically different from Smoke, less of a memoir, but god damn just full of incredible scenes from around the world trying to understand death
