Anybody else here watching the Kathy Loves Physics channel on YouTube? (OK, dumb question.) How many people here are watching the Kathy Loves Physics channel on YouTube?
I stumbled onto one of her videos a few days ago and became an instant fan. So far I've been going through her series "The Secret History of Electricity". The technical content is not much beyond my second semester of freshman physics (and not at all beyond my EE degree) but the history of the development of electromagnetic theory and the mini bios of the people who made the various advances is fascinating (to me) and her presentation is a lot of fun.
There are other videos in her channel as well, of which I've only watched a couple so far.
She declined my request to do a similar series on the early development of chemistry. Maybe Professor Poliakoff would take it up.
