I Had No Idea I'd Lose Everything...

"I Had No Idea I'd Lose Everything..." is not an experiment or an explainer. It is old footage of Dianna Cowern moving into what her team calls her dream office, posted on October 10 and now close to a million views.

The description is written by someone who sat across from her in that room. It says the video shows how much Cowern's life has changed and how much loss Long COVID can bring, and it ends by thanking viewers for helping her through these tough years. The tags add chronic fatigue and ME/CFS, and the word awareness.

The office held a small studio. That is where the team filmed "Explain to My Editor," a format Cowern was very passionate about, according to the description. It grew out of long talks in the office: she would explain a big physics idea, and her editor would ask the questions a curious outsider might. The team describes the series as part of her move toward independence from PBS, and says the audience responded well to it.

So the footage is of a working room as much as a personal space, the place where she found her own way of explaining science.

The whole channel has been unusually busy around it, with daily views running at more than eight times their normal pace. The office video is the newest upload on the shelf, though the views are spread across the channel and the time-crystal and energy-storage explainers posted in September have also drawn large audiences.
