14 min - Prokaryotic Cells: The Simplest Kind of Life
We've established that the basic unit of life is the cell, and that the simplest forms of life are just one cell. The earliest unicellular organisms were prokaryotic, and there are many prokaryotic organisms still around today, including all bacteria. So let's go over the features of the prokaryotic cell!

8 min - Practice Problem: Two-Dimensional Two-Body Problem
You're really getting good at building physics toys in your garage! Check this awesome pulley system. You put your physics knowledge to the test and try to make a prediction about what will happen when you let these two blocks go. Will block A drop? Will block B? I can't take the suspense!

6 min - Alien: Covenant - How Did David Create the Neomorphs?
By now we've hopefully all seen Alien: Covenant. If you haven't, go see it right away! It's awesome, and this has spoilers. After you've seen it, you'll probably have a few questions, just as I did. The main thing that left me wondering, was precisely HOW David did all of his genetic manipulation to create the neomorphs. His laboratory looks like a medieval dungeon, after all. Does the pathogen have sentience? What's happening on the molecular level?
Beyond this, do these kinds of stories bias the public about our own efforts to attempt genetic modification? Are people afraid of GMOs because they are used to movies where the products of this kind of tinkering are killing machines with bonus mouths and acid for blood?
Let's investigate the details of David's work, as well as our own, when it comes to artificial selection and genetic modification!
Thank you to 20th Century Fox for providing the ALIEN: COVENANT set for this shoot! It was a lot of fun. ALIEN: COVENANT is available on Google Play, buy or rent it here: bitly.com/alien-covenant-googleplay

12 min - Laplace Transforms Part 2: Convolutions and LTI Systems
We just introduced the Laplace transform and used it to solve linear differential equations. Now let's introduce another application of this concept by examining convolutions and linear time-invariant systems.

20 min - Developmental Biologist Jonathan Pickett (Get to Know a Scientist!)
Did you like playing with worms as a kid? Well developmental biologist Jonathan Pickett does it for a living! Studying how worms recycle cells helps us understand how this process works in humans, which allows us to address a wide variety of diseases that have to do with improper cellular recycling. Let him tell you all about it!

11 min - Practice Problem: Kinetic and Potential Energy of a Ball on a Ramp
Look at this nifty ramp you made! Let's roll some stuff off of it, shall we? Good thing we know all about potential energy and kinetic energy, because that will allow us to calculate all kinds of things, like the velocity of the ball at any given point.

6 min - The Origin of Life on Earth
You must have wondered about it before, haven't you? How did life begin on earth? I mean the very first thing. The first unicellular organism, billions of years ago. Is it even possible? As it happens, our understanding of chemistry, biochemistry, and biology has become so sophisticated over the years, that we now have a pretty reasonable grasp as to how abiogenesis must have occurred. This is the spontaneous generation of life from non-living material. As incredible as it sounds, there is a lot of science to discuss here, so let's get into it!

8 min - Thromboembolic Drugs Part 1: Principles of Platelet Activation
We just looked at some drugs that regulate cholesterol biology, so now let's take a look at platelets. These are small cells that are major components of blood clot generation, so regulating these can also be useful in addressing cardiovascular disease. Before looking at the drugs themselves, there is a lot to talk about regarding platelet activation, so let's get through that now!

16 min - Separable First-Order Differential Equations
Now that we know how to classify differential equations, we have to learn how to solve them. Let's start with the easiest ones to solve, separable first-order differential equations. This will involve some simple algebra and then basic calculus, so it shouldn't be tough to follow, but it will give us some good practice with starting to solve these equations.

About Professor Dave Explains
From the publisher's feed
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.
