    Manolis is the most concise explainer of abstract and complicated topics I've ever heard.
  • @eoxico
    Bring him every time you want. Manollis is simply amazingly inspiring
  • @timf9740
    Me:*Sees 'Manolis Kellis: Round 3' Also me: "Don't get me started!"
  • @oulanakhle7218
    Lex please round 4 5 6 7... i can listen to this guy 4 ever
  • One of my favorite parts - Manolis: "So, you have a bowl of noodles" Lex: "Go on..." Manolis is really such a great communicator. I deeply envy his students! On another note, great to see you outside of your comfort zone, Lex! That's where all the growth is.
  • @kylehendrix2091
    The first Monday of each month should be Manolis Monday on the Lex Friedman Podcast ❤
  • @DG-xg8vg
    Started my PhD in Molecular Biology this month. I needed this. Thank you, Lex
  • @vert2701
    the way he breaks apart extremely complex concepts into simplistic steps is amazing.
  • @alvechy
    What I love about Lex's podcasts is that such smart conversations are made for the audience. Manolis doesn't explain stuff to Lex, because many things he already knows, and they both know it. He explains to the audience. Lex doesn't ask some questions for him to understand, he may already know it, from own studies or from conversations outside the podcast. Lex wants the audience to know the answers. And for myself Lex is asking right questions at a right time. Just really great podcast.
  • @eamonglavin2532
    This podcast could turn into the Lex and Manolis show and I'd be perfectly happy with that
  • @TheChaotyk
    A podcast that you can't listen to in the background is the best kind of podcast. It's so rich in information. Love it!
  • @hunterscott439
    When you hear “Don’t get me started” you know it’s a good episode
  • @moonoom764
    gosh, I would love to hear a one hour in depth conversation about mitochondria!!
  • @maxlouisjansen
    I rarely comment on YouTube videos, but Manolis is such an inspiring guest. Keep the fun conversations coming.
  • @kasinkone
    Manolis is my favorite guest so far
  • @rocknrolla7471
    Manolis is a fascinating personality. My favorite guest on your podcast
  • @jasonfelice75
    Don't forget... Lex is vital in our live for Manollis... Lex is half of this conversation. So Lex, we want more of Manollis on Your podcast. Not just random talks from him. You are complicit with our enjoyment here, so thank you too! Not speaking for anyone else, but my guess is more commenting here feel the same. You, like Joe Rogan, have a gift for bringing out the best in people.
  • @xushenxiong4540
    I feel so amazed, enlightened and enjoyable every time I listen to Manolis' wisdom! Thank you!
