The American Museum of Natural History occasionally offers peeks into its inner working, on how it maintains and preserves millions of artifacts over thousands of collections from the past several centuries. In this short video from the museum, learn how they maintain and preserve their dry coral collection.

More than 4,000 dry coral specimens are housed in the collections of the American Museum of Natural History, including specimens that date back to the 1870s! This collection is not only beautiful but essential for scientists studying our oceans because it lets them peer back in time. Dive in with the dry coral collections team to learn how corals grow, how the Museum takes care of these storied specimens, and how museum collections like this help protect living corals in the wild.

The Infographics Show recently created this great animated video comparing the two great cities of New York City and London across varying subjects such as population, density, crime, transportation and other City statistics. While avoiding declaring a winner, the channel does seem to make a pretty strong case that NYC is the top dog where it counts, so we'll take it as a win.

According to Travel and Leisure magazine, the best city in the world right now you could visit is San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, followed by Charleston in the USA, followed by Chiang Mai in Thailand. These three places, however, don’t even get on the top 20 places to actually live, in this year’s Quality of Living Index, a yearly list compiled by HR firm, Mercer. Apparently, if you want to live the good life, you should move to Vienna, Austria, Zurich, Switzerland, or Auckland, New Zealand. The top twenty list doesn’t include any cities from the UK or the USA, two countries that have arguably been the two heavyweights in the last century regarding power and wealth. These two countries, however, contain cities that attract millions of overseas visitors every year. Today we are going to compare them, in this episode of the Infographics Show, New York City vs London.
