From "Periodic Videos" (good new video on Nickel)
« on: August 21, 2017, 02:03:34 pm »
I'm getting to like this wild-haired old professor.. he really loves his trade! Anyhow, since Nickel is used often in electronics (and I've been to Sudbury many times..) it couldn't hurt to share.

I have to say I do like the style of content, although I was crap at chemistry at school in the later years: too much learning by rote and not enough comprehending in my case.

As a side note, one of the old regulars on Haran's Sixty Symbols videos, Prof Philip Moriarty, had an almighty melt down a few months ago, and shut down all of his personal content. He was frequently at loggerheads with another well known academic and Youtuber, Thunderf00t (Dr Phil Mason), over SJW stuff.

That was great!  I studied Chemistry in college but gave up before finishing my degree.

The same producer, Brady Haran, also has a bunch of other interesting channels

And he's Australian too  :-+
I seriously don't know how he produces that much content  :scared:

He has another guy (Sean Riley) helping out, he doesn't to everything himself. Still a massive amount of content though. He also does the Hello Internet podcast.

Dave, if you need another idea for merchandise, Brady sells limited edition Hello Internet sneakers. When can we expect EEVBlog Aussie safety boots?

Try and get him on the Ah?

I have been a fan of numberphile for a good while and recently found Periodic videos too. I am addicted to it for a couple weeks now, my wife keeps complaining that I am monopolizing the TV watching videos of the crazy haired old dude.

Big fan or Brady's work.

What is clever is that his content is generally mostly timeless, so as soon as you stumble upon one of his videos, perhaps a couple of years after it was made, if you're interested you'll watch a good deal of the rest of them. Thus I'd imagine he manages a reasonable continuous revenue stream.

It'd be interesting to find out how many of his vids were demonetised by Google's super smart AI trained video bots, the bots programmed by such smarts in Google that apparently not even those smarts know what the criteria for demonetisation is. Is this the same AI that they're using in their self driving cars?  :box:

Whether to have him on AH, well I'm sure it'd be an unmissable episode, albeit perhaps a little off piste, so I vote yes.
