8 min - Discussion on the Science Counterpunch Podcast (The Urgency of Science Communication)
Dave appears on the brand new Science Counterpunch podcast with co-hosts Sam Gregson and Philipp Markolin. You may recognize Sam from his channel Bad Boy of Science, and from his contribution to one of my videos exposing Sabine Hossenfelder. And you may recognize Phil from my video debunking the COVID lab leak conspiracy, which was a collaboration that would be impossible without his research and command of the topic. These guys are the real deal, they know how urgent it is to address science denial in its myriad forms. So join us for a discussion on how to best do precisely that.

1 hr 13 min - Mendelian Genetics and Punnett Squares
For all of human history, we've been aware of heredity. Children look like their parents. But why? When Gregor Mendel pioneered the field of genetics, he began to try to answer that question, and now that we know about chromosomes, all of his work will make a lot of sense. Let's take a look at Mendel's work, his laws of segregation and independent assortment, and try to understand what these mean for genetics and inheritance.

8 min - Introduction to Amniota: Characteristics of the Amniotes
Moving right along with our chordate cladogram, we arrive at the sister group to the amphibians, the amniotes. The defining characteristic within this clade is the amniotic egg. Let's learn more about this important clade to which so many different animals belong!

12 min - Graphing Conic Sections Part 4: Hyperbolas
The last conic section is the weirdest looking one. It's the hyperbola! Sometimes it kind of looks like a double parabola, but the equation is totally different. It's actually much more like an ellipse in terms of how the equation works. Let's learn about these things!

13 min - Professor Jiang is an Idiot (Predictive History Reaction)
Who is this guy Professor Jiang that everyone is talking about? He runs a channel called Predictive History, where he pretends to be delivering lectures to students, but he's actually just going on delusional rants where he fumbles the most trivial aspects of every scientific discipline, and spews insane conspiracy theories about geopolitics. The only thing crazier than his ridiculous sermons is the fact that he has been exploding in popularity over the past few weeks based on some not-even-remotely-impressive "predictions" that he made about global affairs. Let's take him down a notch, shall we?

8 min - Introduction to Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)
It's now time to dig into quantum field theories with considerably more rigor than earlier in the series. First up is quantum electrodynamics, or QED. This was the first successful QFT, combining quantum mechanics and special relativity. Let's learn what this model is all about, and how to do math with Feynman diagrams.

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.
