Hi, Let's say I was to make a youtube video on a science topic such as: Chemistry - The citric acid cycle from the book Biochemistry by Stryer (Copyrighted) Or The fundamental theorem of calculus Would it be legal to take the formulas from the book, draw them on a whiteboard and...

Why did the mathematical tree fall over? Because it had no real roots!:pWrite the expression for the volume of a thick crust pizza with height $$a$$ and radius $$z$$. The formula for volume is $$\pi(\text{radius})^2(\text{height})$$. In this case, $$pi.z.z.a$$.

Hi which 2D animation software would be good for adding simple animations in science class and for youtube presentations?. Eksamples would be: how galvanic cells work, simple biology drawings of cells, DNA etc. I’d like a program that’s quite straight forward but also gives me a lot of...

What are people's favourite YouTube channels for Science education (Chemistry, physics, biology, psychology etc)? Feel free to list more than one.

Hi there, I have a hypothetical question which is prima fascia more than a little ridiculous, but it relates to a science fiction book I'm working on writing. I'm hoping that one or more of the general smart folks here can weigh in on it and give me some realistic answers about a very...

I am trying to organise a school trip to a science place somewhere in Europe, we have already been to CERN and I have a few ideas already which ill list below. But what scientific research places do you think would get young people into science? [Has to be in Europe, but not exclusively physics]...

I just feel like I needed someone to listen to me for a second. It's a long, story-of-my-life post. I might delete it later because it's embarrassing. I got into some top 10 brand name schools for graduate school. One of them was my dream school. I came from a small department with litte...

Pretty much everyone in the physical sciences these days has to know programming. C++, fortran, matlab, and what have you. But what about the more core computer science concepts, like algorithms, data structure, numerical analysis, operating systems, etc.? How important are these to those...

I understand that goosebumps are stimulated by fear and cold in order to trap air between hair to keep us warm and make us look more intimidating. Of course today this trait is useless due to technology and ordered civilization. So adrenaline causes arrector pili muscle to contract and there...

I just found this video: with the name "Dark Matter Mystery Finally Solved, and It's Simple?!" (it has more than 7000likes and about 75 dislikes) . The problem here is that it's the first video that pops out when you write Dark Matter in YT search and it's not the only one of this type...
