Morning all. Would appreciate some ideas here! We have various boards here, chemicals in textiles, celebrating Black chemists, women in science. In response to the recent horrible person who has been in press lately and is in Romania under arrest ( do not even want to give his name validation here)...I wanted to just find some young male scientists to showcase and shine positive male dynamic. Any ideas....obviously Google is my friend but any input would be grand....x
Positive male chemists/scientists for display board idea.....
- Thread starter Jonesy
- Start date
British Science Week have got some scientist profiles under "Smashing Stereotypes" that you might find useful - I'm currently working on turning them into display board materials (they've got a variety of accompanying images here).
Excellent - just made posters of several of them for "Women in Science day" (11th Feb), so that I can put them up during the week before half-term.
There are a few people on YouTube who can be good for STEM.
Mark Rober, Stuff made here, NileRed. There are bound to be a lot of others but these are the ones I follow. Some of the stuff they do is more for entertainment, sometimes that's all you need to get people interested.

ChemicalForce is really good. High production value and does some very unique reactions involving highly dangerous chemicals.
I also personally like Cody'sLab. the man is a genius and delves into all three sciences.
Seen the video where he splashes around in mercury no gloves? That'd give cleapss an aneurysm if they seen it.

You think that's bad? Watch the video where he bites on sodium metal or inhales nobles gases.
The dangers of mercury are actually over-exaggerated. It's not dangerous to touch as long as you don't have any open cuts. It's only an issue if it gets into your bloodstream or you inhale it for extended periods.
I saw the noble gases, didn't know he 'ate' sodium! Gonna go find that later.You think that's bad? Watch the video where he bites on sodium metal or inhales nobles gases.

I know it's relatively safe to touch, I've never had the gall to try cos I bite my nails so not risking it!
I thought that was how all chemists did the alkali metals.
Nile Red and Veritasium are enjoyable channels on YouTube
Explosions&Fire/Extractions&Ire are a good laugh but not something I'd hold up as role models for kids
There are some great examples on our chemistry careers job profiles page.
How about our alumni Sir Cyril Hinshelwood
en.wikipedia.org
His work in reaction mechanisms earned the 1956 Nobel Prize in chemistry.

Not sure if this link will work but there's lots of male scientists here:
