For #FBF I reflect on some cool times playing other people on #TV, #Film and #Stage in the clip below. Excited that more roles are coming up soon #WatchThisSpace 🎭 I tried to choose varied roles, but here’s to a future where smart female roles are more available #ScullyEffect 🎬

Games can put me inside tornadoes, horror, deep water and space. But I study human experience, and I have a question: What happens when the screen disappears? Apparently I’m going to find out. 🌪️

There’s a point where awe becomes fear. Capsizing my kayak did NOT leave me contemplating the majesty of nature. My brain had a considerably simpler scientific conclusion: LAND. LAND WOULD BE GOOD. 😂🌊 Why does awe sometimes feel like fear? Full video coming this weekend.

Why does something terrifying sometimes make it IMPOSSIBLE to look away? Tornadoes. Heights. The abyss. That weird mix of fear and fascination has a name: awe. And psychologically, it’s much stranger than it sounds. 😨🔬 New Short 👇 #WeirdScience #Psychology

I searched for HOURS for a sabertooth cub in Conan Exiles. I finally found one. It made the cutest little puppy noises… and then an adult sabertooth killed it in ONE SWIPE. 😭 I avenged the baby. Obviously. #ConanExiles #Gaming

Your brain would rather be wrong than dead. 💀 That’s one reason we see faces where there aren’t any. Mistake a rock for a lion? Nothing happens. Mistake a lion for a rock? You’re lunch. 🦁 #SpookyScience #Pareidolia

We found a dog in a 1989 horror game. Me: “I don’t want to swing the axe at the dog!” 😭 Swings axe. Dog: eats my arm. Fair. Meanwhile Eon thinks we’ve finally found Tasmania’s missing thylacine. 😂 #RetroGaming #LastHalfOfDarkness

You wake up at 3AM and suddenly there’s SOMETHING in the corner. 👀 You’re not weird. Evolution is slow, and your amygdala didn’t get an update when we invented locks, light bulbs and apartment buildings. Your ancient threat detector is still on duty. 🧠🌙 #SpookyScience

I went into the room completely defenceless. Found the clown ghost. Got the photo. Tried to run. The bastard had left a BALLOON in my escape route. 🎈🤡 I hit it, injured myself and suddenly couldn’t run. Somehow, I survived. 😂 #GhostExorcismInc #HorrorGames

The worst part of deep water isn’t always what might be hiding beneath you. Sometimes it’s simply how much nothing there is. 🌊 Why can vastness feel beautiful and terrifying? #Thalassophobia #SpookyScience #Fear

The Mortuary Assistant made me afraid of EVERYTHING. 💀 Corpses moving. Shadow figures. Demonic voices. And me eventually arguing with the supernatural. Apparently this is what I look like terrified. 😂👻 #TheMortuaryAssistant #HorrorGames

Your brain is not your friend at 3AM. Why the dark scares us even when we know it’s empty. It's not ghosts — it's evolution. Your ancestors survived because they saw "something" in the shadows. Now you can't walk to the bathroom without a tiny existential crisis. YouTube👇

I'm obsessed with shipwrecks, underwater cities, the Titanic. I'd love to explore them. The problem is, I don't want to get there. 🌊 That's thalassophobia for you. What pulls you in but also terrifies you? #Thalassophobia #Shipwrecks #ScienceOfFear #DeepWater #Archaeology

Why do dolls creep you out? It's not the doll — it's your brain. 🧠 This is the Uncanny Valley — I investigated it with a 1998 Furby, a humanoid robot, and an Einstein android. 👆 Full investigation on my channel - youtu.be/u1C03PTGzxQ?si=zP9z… #uncannyvalley #creepydolls

Late-night cemetery investigation with the Tesla. The neighbours noticed. 🚗👻 The Tesla ghost investigation continues this week — subscribe so you don't miss it. #shorts #ghosthunting #tesla #cemetery #tasmania #bts

My dog is a master predator. Her target? Shoes. 🐾👟 The fluffy research assistants investigate everything — come find us on YouTube for more curiosities! 🔬 #dogcomedy #funnydogs #naturedocumentary #dogvoiceover #fluffyresearchassistants

Unsolicited Discord messages hit VERY differently when you were raised on 90s horror movies. 😳 The moment they said “Do you want to hear a scary story?” my brain immediately started playing the Scream soundtrack. #90sKids #Discord #Funny #Scream #InternetWeirdness

Stared at this ferry for five minutes before my brain caught up. 🚢 Can YOU see it? #opticalillusion #visualillusion #brainteaser #science #tasmania
