- Reptilian Diversity Part 2: Form and Function of the Squamates
With three of the four orders of extant reptiles covered, it's time to move on to the fourth and largest, Squamata. This has all the lizards and snakes, and some other stuff. First let's go over their form and function.

8 min - Unicellular Life Part 2: Archaea and Protists
Everyone knows about bacteria, but there are tons of other unicellular species! Archaea are prokaryotes just like bacteria, but they live in some pretty weird places, which teaches us a lot about the kinds of conditions life can thrive in. Then there are a wide variety of unicellular eukaryotes, and they can do all kinds of different things. Let's take a look at all these critters!

11 min - Dealing With a Dense Creationist (Featuring Aron Ra)
Sometimes I do these call-in shows where creationists try to explain to me how they aren't objectively wrong and brainwashed. It never goes well for them. Here we have a Torah enthusiast trying to defend the veracity of his scripture, while Aron Ra and I give him a few things to think about. Please enjoy if you're into this sort of thing.

10 min - EPA Head Lee Zeldin is a Freaking Nightmare
Trump's second-term cabinet is the stuff of nightmares. I've talked about Bobby Kennedy's dismantling of HHS quite a bit, but it's not just public health that is in shambles under this administration. The environment is on the chopping block as well, especially under new EPA head Lee Zeldin. The person who is supposed to be in charge of protecting the citizenry by preventing the private sector from polluting our air and water is actively siding with the polluters and making sure they have all the freedom to pollute as much as they want. It's difficult to describe how much of a worthless cretin this guy is, but let's give it a shot.

20 min - Expressing Time in Latin
How did the Ancient Romans tell time throughout the day? There are a few ways to do this. Let's learn about ablativus temporis, which describes the time when or within which an action occurred, as well as some other ways of expressing time in Latin.

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.
