  1. Is it normal that your vids don’t work?

    • Hi Biologist. The presentation link was broken and has now been fixed. Thanks for letting me know. Videos within the presentations are actually links to original animations andvideos – just click and it should bring you there.

      The YouTube videos above work fine – check to make sure you are allowed access to YouTube where you are.

      Steve.
