“Again and again, for scientists, if they hear something suprising that makes them think in a different way, it's really good. Your mind is a bit like soup - it has to be stirred up all the time. -And then interesting vegetables float to the surface and so on. -And you have new ideas. If you just sit there, it all stagnates and gets boring.”
—Professor Martyn PoliakoffEtching The World's Smallest Periodic Table Onto A Hair

A bit of good chemistry
youtube.comIf you like chemistry the best channel would be Periodicvideos.
It is runned by the student Brady, who interviews different chemistry professors and other members of the chemical institute at University of Nottingham. The most significant professor might be Martyn Poliakoff, who is one of my great idols:
He is one of the best mediators (I can not find a better word) I have ever heard of. Mostly because he is so smart and gentle, you get the feeling that he talks directly to you!
Watch their videos, you will only get smarter!
