Welcome! I have a knack for explaining stuff and I want to share some knowledge with you. I received a BA in chemistry from Carleton College, and performed graduate studies in both synthetic organic chemistry and science education at Cal State Northridge, receiving an MA in the latter. Prior to this I taught for about a decade in various high school and undergraduate settings, specializing in organic chemistry but also teaching general chemistry, physics, and biology. This channel is for students at the high school and undergraduate level, but it is also for members of the general public who j

I went on Matt Dillahunty's call in show recently, and a Zionist called in to talk about Israel/Palestine stuff.

This is false. There exists no such risk, and he did not hide or distort any information regarding the vaccines. You have been lied to. By FOX News, by Joe Rogan, and many others.
