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!

Protecting the Crime Scene, Recognizing and Searching For Evidence
Now that we have an understanding of the principles of forensic science, we can begin to examine crime scene investigation. CSI involves many steps, but the first three are protecting the crime scene, recognizing evidence, and searching for evidence. Let's go over some details regarding these three steps!

Ortho/Meta/Para Directors
What's this ortho/meta/para business you've been hearing so much about? Why is benzene ruining your life? Don't worry, 16 minutes or so from now it will all make sense. From directing groups to activating and deactivating groups. It has to do with electron donating groups and electron withdrawing groups.

How did I let a whole year slip by without dumping on the douchebags at Discovery Institute?

Proving the Pythagorean Theorem
We learned about the Pythagorean Theorem, but where did it come from? How do we know it's definitely true? What if old Pythag just made it up off the top of his mystical skull? Lucky for us, in math we can proof that things are definitely true, and there are tons of ways to prove that the Pythagorean theorem is true.

Introduction to Phylum Chordata: Chordate Characteristics and the Chordate Cladogram
We have now completed our study of every single animal phylum but one: Chordata. This is the one that contains humans, as well as the most common animals we interact with every day, like our pets. There are about 81,600 species of chordates, with tremendous diversity among them, from teeny tiny little frogs all the way up to gigantic blue whales. What are the five characteristics that all chordates have in common? And since we have just one phylum left to go, we will switch to a cladogram for the chordates specifically, so what does that look like? There is so much to discuss!

Destiny Loves Genocide
After mentioning Israel's genocide numerous times in other content regarding Christian theocrats, Peter Thiel's puppets, or figures like Avi Loeb, many people have asked to me to just go ahead and make a long-form video about my views on Israel. I had avoided this since I'm a science communicator and prefer not to make exclusively political content, but after a twerp named Destiny took it upon himself to call me a Nazi, I had an excuse to do it. So here it is.

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.
