Losing fingers to chemistry - Periodic Table of Videos

The Prof is back in the lab with a Potassium Dichromate reaction and a story of lost fingers!

This man didn't choose science, science chose him.

[amirsabbag]

Are you a scientist because you have that hair, or do you have that hair because you're a scientist?

[johnmartinez]

Glass is pretty amazing when you think about it. Can withstand all these toxic acids and mixtures, and we can see through it all to inspect the insides. Genius.

[NurdRage]

I've had a number of injuries from dangerous reactions, thankfully i still have all my fingers.
For now.

"One must be very careful not to isolate this material" [camera nervously pans down to spill drying on the benchtop]

[jaytang]

i want this guy as a chem professor, he's great.

[catsupchutney]

"Quite a dangerous compound", as it spills onto the counter.

This is the kind of thing chemistry graduate students leave outside the front door of their hated neighbor instead of over-pressurized plastic bottles of Diet Coke and Mentos candies.

[Xelipho]

I feel like I need to drink the Chemicals.

I know it's a bad idea, but they're so colourful...

[lilliansmith]

The thumbnail makes it look like the professor is just a fan of metal. He seems to be a fan of the metallic elements, so maybe the genre of music too?

[jonjohnson]

Filmer: "It's kind of like the reaction is a wave coming....
Scientist: "Yes"
Filmer: Slowly rambles into silence

[gamehunter]

I try to tell chemistry jokes but there is no reaction.

Attended one of his lectures when I was a chemical engineering student. Absolutely focused and brilliant man! I was a bit of an undercover nerd in college though ;P A little advice for the up an coming, if you like chemistry, just go  with chem E you will not find a decent paying or maybe even a job at all with just a plain chemistry degree unless you want a Phd or teach. Anyway why not get the best of both worlds, mechanics and chemistry! Good luck to all in their studies! One other thing you don't have to be a genius, just love what you do. I wouldn't have called myself a star pupil in highschool.

Despite never being interested in science subjects at school I really enjoy watching this series of films now. Unfortunately I suffer from sleep disturbance, really am able to sleep at night and, instead, sleep during the day. At this time of year it becomes rather difficult for me as my great love is gardening and, by the time I am awake, there is little or no light left in which to work in the garden and I would be deeply touched to anyone reading this who would include me in their thoughts and prayers to assist me overcome this horrendous malady of sleep disturbance.

This man tutored my secondary school chemistry teacher

[dystopiansage]

If I could relive my life again, I'd go to school for chemistry. I'm too old now, so I'll just watch your interesting videos. Thank you for posting them.

I never knew Martyn Poliakoff was a metal head \m/

[clotz]

"bright blue" almost completely dark

[luthmhor]

Thanks for the videos, I know it must make people more interested in science!

[legopyrotechnik]

I like how the cameraman said something and instantly got denied
