  • Graphing Lines in Slope-Intercept Form (y = mx + b)

    The equations for lines come in different forms, and slope-intercept form is the classic! It's got everything you need right there, a slope, a y-intercept, what more could you ask for? Let's learn how to find the equation of a line in this form given two points on the line.

  • Carbohydrates Part 1: Simple Sugars and Fischer Projections

    It's the night before the big game! You're carbo-loading! Wait, what are carbs? Did you know that sugar is a carbohydrate? You didn't?! Well, you'd better watch this, my friend. We will cover all the monosaccharides in their linear and cyclic form. That'll get you up to speed. Now get some sleep! You'll need to be rested if you're going to beat those kids from Khan Academy in the morning.

  • Enzymes: Nature's Factory Workers

    What are enzymes? Why they're nature's little factory workers. They chop up certain things! They build up others! Pretty amazing the kind of chemistry nature can do given enormous polypeptide chains with unfathomable variability and billions of years of evolution, no?

  • Moon Landing Deniers are Idiots: Bart Sibrel Debunked (Part 2 of 2)

    As we demonstrated in part 1, moon landing deniers are almost as dumb as flat earthers. And the king of this cult is a grifting fraud named Bart Sibrel. He really, really, really wants you to go to his website where he has compiled a bunch of deceptive clips and outright lies to trick people into denying that humans have been to the moon. With the Joe Rogan episode covered, we move on to two appearances on the Danny Jones podcast, one of which involved Apollo 16 astronaut, Charlie Duke. Want to see what a worthless cretin Bart is towards an old man that definitely walked on the moon? Strap in.

  • Graphing Higher-Degree Polynomials: The Leading Coefficient Test and Finding Zeros

    By now, graphing lines seems trivial, and even graphing quadratics is a piece of cake. But what about higher-degree polynomials like cubics, quartics, and quintics? And even higher than that? It might seem quite daunting, but there are some handy tricks that will help you graph even these very complex functions. These involve using the leading coefficient test to discern the end behavior of the function, as well as plotting zeros and assessing their multiplicities in order to get a rough sketch of the function. It's not as bad as it sounds, check it out!

  • Protein Structure

    Everyone has heard of proteins. What are they on the molecular level? They're polymers of amino acids, of course. They make up most of your body, so we have to understand their structure very well! Check this out to learn the hierarchy of protein structure so that we can later learn all about what different types of proteins can do.

  • Molecular Biologist Chandni Kumar (Get to Know a Scientist!)

    What is proteomics? It's the study of the interactions, function, composition, and structures of proteins and their cellular activities. Dr. Chandni Kumar is a molecular biologist who works with proteins to ascertain all kinds of things that concern human health, and she also does excellent work in science communication. Let's get a tour of her lab and see what she does every day!
