NurdRage needs you! Chemistry + croudfunding = Edutaining youtubery.

So there's this chemist who's been uploading super interesting videos to youtube for a few years now. He performs a range of experiments and reactions on camera, including dissolution and precipitation of gold into and out of aqua regia, making glowsticks and mixing conductive silver ink. He's also covered how to produce lab-grade reagents from commercially-available chemicals. He explains the science of every reaction clearly and succinctly. His current lab participated in the creation of these videos, but he's moving jobs in a few month's time and won't be able to continue making the videos.

Here's a few of my favourites:




As you've probably guessed, he's asking for croudfunding to help start a lab dedicated to making educational chemistry videos, ala kahn academy.

Watch a few of his videos and, if they tickle your fancy, send him a few bucks. I reckon it's a worthy cause.
