    Of all the frauds out there spreading disinformation about vaccines and related topics, few are as morally bankrupt as Peter McCullough and his crew. Once a real cardiologist, he pivoted to grifting at the start of the pandemic, and now spends all of his time cobbling together fake research fabricating apocalyptic dangers for vaccines that will terrify the public and drive them over to his supplement-peddling business, the Wellness Company. We will also go over his douchebag henchmen Nic Hulscher, Kevin McKernan, John Catanzaro, as well as familiar faces like Bobby Kennedy and Andrew Wakefield. Here comes the clown show.

  • Jay Dyer and Jimbob are Spiraling

    Jay Dyer and Jimbob are having a really tough time with the whole internet making fun of them for being the dumbest people alive. And they are eager to make everything much worse for themselves! After mocking Jay's pathetic response to my reaction video humiliating them, and then Jimbob begging to debate me which resulted in even further humiliation, they've been desperately logging six-hour livestreams spewing the most transparent damage control imaginable. Let's see what pathetic antics they've been performing, shall we?

  • Cell Communication: Hormones and Neurotransmitters

    We already learned a little bit about receptors and the signaling pathways that they initiate, but what are the molecules the travel throughout your body, carrying messages like little carrier pigeons? They are called hormones and neurotransmitters, and you can't even begin the imagine the variety of cellular processes they regulate. Let's take a look!

  • Amphibian Diversity Part 1: Orders Gymnophiona and Caudata (Caecilians and Salamanders)

    Now that we have some general information down regarding amphibians, it's time to investigate the diversity of this clade. Let's start with order Gymnophiona, or the caecilians, and order Caudata, or the salamanders. Let's get a sense of the variety within these clades!

  • Photosynthesis: Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle

    We get energy by eating other organisms, but plants don't have to do that. They can build their own food out of water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight. I'm sure you've heard of photosynthesis before, but let's take a look at some of the finer points, shall we?

  • Building the Dirac Equation

    Now that we have a basic understanding of the components of the Standard Model, let's start digging into the math. What did the first attempts to construct a relativistic version of the wave equation yield? We have the Klein-Gordon equation, and then the Dirac Equation. What are these equations and what do they tell us? Let's find out!

  • DNA Replication: Copying the Molecule of Life

    Your DNA needs to be in every cell in your body, so what happens when cells divide? How does each new cell retain all of the genetic information? The DNA is able to copy itself through a process called replication. Let's go through the finer points, shall we?

  • Cellular Respiration Part 3: The Electron Transport Chain and Oxidative Phosphorylation

    The trilogy is finally concluded! And with a bang, no less, as this final stage of cellular respiration is the one that provides the big energy payoff for the cell. Let's learn about how the products of the Citric Acid cycle go on to the electron transport chain to facilitate reactions that will generate a proton gradient suitable for powering ATP synthase, one of the most fascinating proteins in the body.

  • Jay Dyer is a Pointless Wiener

    Remember when I made a little reaction video making fun of some random creationists, including a cringy after school special? One of the other videos was made by some jerk named Jay Dyer. He didn't appreciate me mocking his profound stupidity, so he threw a little tantrum in response. Big mistake. Wanna see just how stupid and pointless this wiener is? Oh, and racist and sexist to boot! Let's mock him some more together.

    My reaction video he is responding to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0TRjDBduLY
