Professor Dave Explains

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. Happy learning!

Retrosynthetic Analysis
These are the hardest problems! You have to think backwards in time? What am I, H. G. Wells?! Relax, friend. You just have to dismantle the target molecule in strategic ways that make sense because of the synthetic transformations you have in your bag of tricks. Give this a gander and you'll see.

Terrence Howard: Back in the Saddle!
Go to https://ground.news/pde for a better way to stay informed. Subscribe for 40% off unlimited access to world-wide coverage through my link! Well folks, Terrence Howard just will not learn his lesson. After being mocked for most of 2024, due to the vast majority of humanity seeing right through his "I'm a super awesome mega genius" routine, he spent a bit of time licking his wounds. But he's back with a new angle and a new grift, so it's time to make fun of him some more. And this time he's been mouthing off about me specifically, so it's personal. Let's all laugh at Terry together!

Rob Stadler is Even Dumber Than We Thought (Featuring Gutsick Gibbon and Creation Myths)
Remember when I sat down with Erika and Dan to make fun of Rob Stadler and James Tour? They saw it and got really upset, so they decided to humiliate themselves some more.

Disarming Climate Change Denial Tropes (Featuring Peter Hadfield aka Potholer54)
We've covered climate change denial in one video before, which was very thorough, but for a pressing issue like this, one topic is never enough. To help us disarm some common talking points put forth by climate change deniers is Peter Hadfield, better known as Potholer54. He's a geologist and science journalist who has covered this topic extensively, so let's get some pearls of wisdom from him on how to combat this fallacious rhetoric!

Late Middle Ages Part 1: Hundred Years’ War and the Black Death
Moving on, we reach the Late Middle Ages, which was a tumultuous time. It included events like the Hundred Years' War and the Black Death.

The Evolution of Populations: Natural Selection, Genetic Drift, and Gene Flow
After going through Darwin's work, it's time to get up to speed on our current models of evolution. Much of what Darwin didn't know is now known and understood very well, so we can meticulously go through much of the evidence we see for evolution, as well as some of the ways that it propagates other than natural selection.

RFK Jr. is Dangerously Stupid
Go to consensus.app for a new way to search through primary scientific literature! Science denial is dangerous no matter who is promoting it, but it's ten times worse when it's coming from people in positions of political power. In February, RFK Jr. was appointed by Donald Trump to act as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees CDC, NIH, and FDA. Bobby also is famous for profiting from spreading lies about vaccines, denying the germ theory of disease, and just generally being a complete maniac masquerading as someone who cares about public health, largely coasting off of his family name. It's time for everyone to see exactly who this guy is, and this video will be an extremely detailed analysis of his views, behavior, and the policies he has enacted during his very short time in office.
