Professor Dave Explains

Why do some molecules smell good? No, they're not cookie molecules. They probably have a fully conjugated polyunsaturated ring system. Aromaticity, as it turns out, just has to do with these rings as well as Huckel's rule.

After mentioning Israel's genocide numerous times in other content regarding Christian theocrats, Peter Thiel's puppets, or figures like Avi Loeb, many people have asked to me to just go ahead and make a long-form video about my views on Israel. I had avoided this since I'm a science communicator and prefer not to make exclusively political content, but after a twerp named Destiny took it upon himself to call me a Nazi, I had an excuse to do it. So here it is. Israel is objectively committing genocide, Zionism is the vile ideology behind it, and here is everything you need to hear to understand exactly what Israel is, and why they are an existential threat to all of humanity.

Meso soup! Here we will see how compounds with multiple stereocenters may be achiral overall, if they have an internal plane of symmetry (meso compounds) or an inversion center. In addition, we will define and discuss diastereomers. Now where's that soup...

One of the most spectacular achievements of the 20th century was the series of moon landings performed by NASA's Apollo Program. These occurred between 1969 and 1972. What is the story of the program that put humans on the lunar surface for the first time? Let's go through all the details, with the help of extremely rare archival footage that will captivate you! This first video will serve as an overview for the entire program, describing all of the vehicles and equipment involved, some important contextual information regarding the establishment of the program, as well as the chronology of Apollo 1 through Apollo 6, including the devastating Apollo 1 fire that tragically claimed the lives of three astronauts.

What is cholesterol? What does it do in the body? What do people mean by "good" and "bad" cholesterol? How can we use drugs to regulate cholesterol biology? This is a big topic, so let's dig into it!

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution is one thing that benzene does. The mechanisms are getting trickier, no? Don't worry, practice makes perfect. From halogenation to Friedel-Crafts alkylation, this is a handy family of reactions.

We know about all kinds of one-dimensional parameters, like side lengths and what not, but now we want to talk about the two-dimensional area that a shape will occupy. This can be thought of as the amount of surface that a shape covers. In this clip, we go over some of the formulas we can use to calculate the area for different shapes, and how these are derived.

Go to consensus.app for a new way to search through primary scientific literature!

You know how creationists often blindly reference a particular scholar, as though the things the scholar says somehow substantiate their ridiculous views? These days that scholar is Denis Noble. He's a physiologist who thinks he's debunked Neo-Darwinism and revived the long discarded Lamarckian model of evolution. Spoiler alert: he hasn't. He only offers a pathetic distortion of principles in evolutionary biology which are so disgraceful that it raises the question of who is paying him to do it. Don't worry, all your questions will be answered and all of Noble's ridiculous rhetoric will be dismantled in this video!

With a general overview of the Apollo program complete, and with Apollo 1-6 covered, it's time to get to some real action. Apollo 7 was the first manned Apollo mission. It took Wally Schirra, Donn Eisele, and Walter Cunningham up into Low Earth Orbit for a 10-day shakedown cruise, where they tested many features of the spacecraft. While the mission was a great success, a bit of drama did ensue, so let's learn all about it!

Didn't we already learn E2? Not so fast, when we are looking at E2 on cyclohexane it's a slightly different kettle of fish. Fish molecules, I mean.
