In this episode of “This Is Purdue,” we’re talking to chemistry teacher and TikTok superstar Phil Cook. 

Listen as Phil (BS chemistry education '00, MS education '13) discusses his passion for education, his rise in Internet fame after just one TikTok video and why he believes Purdue is the best place for science and engineering. 

Join the podcast team on a field trip to Culver Academies, where Phil teaches, for a firsthand look at his viral Halloween experiments, including an exploding pumpkin, liquid nitrogen marshmallows and flaming candy corn.

Tune in (and be sure to watch our video content on Purdue’s YouTube channel) as Phil presents his special “Chem-o-ween" tricks and treats.
