When did you come up with the idea to start talking about all these studies that you're doing at Harvard and Oxford on YouTube and making them public?

I've always just been a total dork and liked explaining things. So it was a matter of me reading a paper and being like, this is cool.

How can I translate this to something that is engaging for other people?

So it could be like, you know, a paper, the title is long and complex.

It wouldn't catch the average person's attention.

But I'm like, basically what this is saying is that, you know, what is a catchy way to put it?

So for one example, it could be diet Coke causes anxious sperm.

You're like, what's up with this?

I'm like, well, actually, this is this really cool study where you take, you know,

aspartame, the sweetener and Diet Coke at pretty low doses,

and you can induce anxiety in mice that can cause anxiety in future generations.

And then you kind of go through the

data, try to break it down. When you explain it to people, I think the average person is actually

pretty intelligent. You say, look, this is how you look at this kind of graph. And it's something that I

just ended up doing because I like explaining science. It was a fun exercise for me. And it's pretty

easy with, you know, I just pull out my iPhone after I read a paper, record something,

and that's been it's all it's been. Being public on social media, that kind of, like, well,

having more of a presence just evolve than never really intended for it to happen. So it's

something I'm kind of exploring now, because it's kind of fun. I was trying to actually decide on

a topic to talk about at an upcoming conference in March.

And what I think I'm going to go with is something about when worlds collide,

when Jade Tower academia and the lay public kind of, you know, those worlds collide.
