Professor Dave Explains

Welcome! I have a knack for explaining stuff and I want to share some knowledge with you.

I received a BA in chemistry from Carleton College, and performed graduate studies in both synthetic organic chemistry and science education at Cal State Northridge, receiving an MA in the latter. Prior to this I taught for about a decade in various high school and undergraduate settings, specializing in organic chemistry but also teaching general chemistry, physics, and biology.

This channel is for students at the high school and undergraduate level, but it is also for members of the general public who just want to know more about the world and how things work. My goal is to increase science literacy in our society, so please share these tutorials with anyone that you think might enjoy them. Happy learning!

Stereochemistry: Meso Compounds, Diastereomers
Meso soup! Here we will see how compounds with multiple stereocenters may be achiral overall, if they have an internal plane of symmetry (meso compounds) or an inversion center. In addition, we will define and discuss diastereomers. Now where's that soup...

Introduction to the Apollo Program
One of the most spectacular achievements of the 20th century was the series of moon landings performed by NASA's Apollo Program. These occurred between 1969 and 1972. What is the story of the program that put humans on the lunar surface for the first time? Let's go through all the details, with the help of extremely rare archival footage that will captivate you! This first video will serve as an overview for the entire program, describing all of the vehicles and equipment involved, some important contextual information regarding the establishment of the program, as well as the chronology of Apollo 1 through Apollo 6, including the devastating Apollo 1 fire that tragically claimed the lives of three astronauts.

Calculating the Area of Shapes
We know about all kinds of one-dimensional parameters, like side lengths and what not, but now we want to talk about the two-dimensional area that a shape will occupy. This can be thought of as the amount of surface that a shape covers. In this clip, we go over some of the formulas we can use to calculate the area for different shapes, and how these are derived.

Denis Noble is a Clown
Go to consensus.app for a new way to search through primary scientific literature! You know how creationists often blindly reference a particular scholar, as though the things the scholar says somehow substantiate their ridiculous views? These days that scholar is Denis Noble. He's a physiologist who thinks he's debunked Neo-Darwinism and revived the long discarded Lamarckian model of evolution. Spoiler alert: he hasn't. He only offers a pathetic distortion of principles in evolutionary biology which are so disgraceful that it raises the question of who is paying him to do it. Don't worry, all your questions will be answered and all of Noble's ridiculous rhetoric will be dismantled in this video! Special thanks to Zach B.

With a general overview of the Apollo program complete, and with Apollo 1-6 covered, it's time to get to some real action. Apollo 7 was the first manned Apollo mission.

Anthony Fauci is Evil Satan Bastard Man!
Anthony Fauci is a horrible demon man who eats babies and should be in jail! That's what I've been hearing from most of the public, anyway. Why are they saying that, though? What did he really do? As it turns out, he upheld real science in the face of state-sanctioned pseudoscience all throughout a pandemic that killed millions of people. For defying the state, his reward has been the most monumental smear campaign of a public servant in recent history. SARS-CoV-2 did not leak from a lab, Fauci never did anything but make science-based recommendations to save as many lives as possible, and if you didn't know that, you fell for propaganda from the government.
