Hi guys! In this video I share with you some of the work I'm doing for my research. Specifically, I'm preparing soil samples for a kind of analysis called isotope-ratio mass spectrometry, which provides information about the elements found in the soil. The sample preparation requires fairly careful, precise measurements, and I thought it might be tingly/relaxing to watch. I hope you enjoy it!

I strongly recommend listening to this video with headphones for the best experience :)

----- What's ASMR, and why am I whispering? -----
I whisper in my videos because they're designed to trigger a sensation called ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). ASMR is a very specific feeling that some people experience when they hear certain soft sounds, like whispering and tapping, or see certain visuals, like deliberate hand motions. It's often described as a pleasant tingling in the head and neck, accompanied by a sense of calmness and mild euphoria. Many people watch ASMR videos to help them relax or fall asleep.

Hi folks! Today's video eschews gameplay in favor of something a bit more tactile and hands-on. Relax as I show off the various bits and pieces of the Star Wars Edge of the Empire Beginner Game, a relatively new pen & paper roleplaying game from Fantasy Flight Games.

I was inspired by DonnaASMR to dig out my Game Boy Color and fire up an old favorite of mine, Dragon Warrior III. Relax as I whisper about the game and play a little. This is also the debut of my new mic and camera, so feedback about the setup and suggestions for improvements are appreciated!

Hi guys! I'm still here! I'm just buried under a massive mountain of work. I really wanted to get a video up on the channel though since it's been forever, so...I made this! Relax to the sounds of me marking a pile of exams. Triggers include writing and paper noises, typing, and occasional whispering and muttering. I know it's not a gaming video, but it *is* kind of nerdy, so I figure it counts. Also, in case you couldn't tell, I had to blur the video to protect students' privacy. Anyway, my semester from hell will be over at the end of April, and I will resume regular uploads in May. Thanks for hanging in there, and as always, happy tingles :)

HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE!
