Fun fact: Breaking Bad's cooking is extremely accurate because they actually had DEA agents teach Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul how to make meth. They made sure the steps were accurate, but made sure to edit the show in such a way that it couldn't serve as a how-to.
-
She's done all these experiments and tests millions and millions of times and she gets so excited as if she's experiencing all this for the first time, that's real passion for what you love doing
-
I like how she still gets all giddy over simple experiments she’s probably done in the lab with years of experience that’s true passion right there
-
I absolutely love her enthusiasm. She's the type of professor that makes a class memorable and fun.
-
She was my chemistry professor in undergrad! Love her so much!! She is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about chemistry it rubs off on others.
-
Love the way she gets excited over the experiments. Good one Wired. Get her back soon!
-
I think Kate was very disapproving that the Terminator didn't put on his safety goggles before shooting the T-1000.

Nylon: while string like it can easily break, horrible for holding structures without being processed, great for clothes,and finally, cant hold our friendly neighborhood spiderman while he uses it to swing on. Web Liquid: Is great at swinging on, holding large structures together, very sticky, and finally, isnt real.
-
The Big Bang Theory hired proper scientists for most of the science scenes so it isn't a surprise that they got those scenes write. Now if only they hired proper comedians to write the jokes it would be watchable.
-
She was my college chem professor at UT Austin. Always been this passionate about chemistry! She always said she wanted to be the woman equivalent of Bill Nye
-
For those of you who don't know, at 0:43 when she says aqua regia. Aqua Regia is an acid formed by mixing 3 parts hydrochloric acid and 1 part nitric acid and this mixture can dissolve metals like gold and platinum
-
These make me happiest when the person shows as much joy/interest in the topic as she does
-
When a chemist uses the term "extraordinarily flammable", it sends a shiver down my spine. Because I know they don't use that term lightly.
-
She just really loves chemistry.
-
does this count as studying?
-
Can she have her own TV show or something? Her knowledge and enthusiasm is refreshing.
-
In the Mr. Bean chemistry scene, I think someone KNEW it was a backwards set-up, mainly as a chemist’s inside joke. I can definitely imagine that happening on set.
-
I love the "It's not a good high" .....no scientific explanation, just moves on to other aspects lol.....almost sounds like she tried it lol.
-
No new videos? :(
-
13:12 We once did this during a school science fair. R.I.P. Chemistry class ceiling It now has a giant yellow stain
