In this episode, we chat with Isaac Russel (@science_Is_real on TikTok), an 8th-grade science teacher and TikTok personality. We delve into his early experiences growing up in small-town Kansas. He details how community college was helpful for him and how he also lived in a very interesting situation. We then rapid-fire questions about teaching 8th-grade science, covering topics such as teaching over zoom, instructing his students on evolution, and also asking about Westboro Baptist Church. The episode finishes off with a discussion about TikTok and opinions on the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis.
