Where Are The Chemtrail Chemicals? - Debunk The Funk #7 MrLundScience 2019-02-01 | Proponents of the Chemtrail idea advocate that the world governments (or at least their own) are spraying their populations with chemicals. If that is true, it stands to reason, we should be able to find those chemicals...so where are they? And if we wish to look for them, we also need to ask, what are they? Debunk The Funk #7 stabs at the heart of the matter - If chemicals are being sprayed everywhere, we should easily be able to find them, well, everywhere. So, do we?In Episode 5, we explored the idea of evidence of chemtrails in our snow:Debunk The Funk #5 - Chemtrail Snowballs - youtu.be/O20f6Nmn7roEpisode 6 delved further, comparing the visual evidence we see in the skies to actual chemical spraying and the contrail phenomenon:Debunk The Funk #6 - Chemtrails Vs.

Raising Monarchs - BTS - My Relocation MrLundScience 2023-07-27 | Welcome to the first "Behind The Scenes" episode of Raising Monarchs! I'm not a vlogger, but this is about as close as I'll get. As the main Raising Monarchs series is meant to be always topic based and informative, a "Behind The Scenes" episode is one that gives me the chance to address topics that are less informative, but still, some may wish to know. It's the "extras" that not all, but some viewers have an interest in.In this episode, I discuss my geographical relocation (still Michigan, different city) and what some of the early rebuilding steps were like. With no milkweed in the yard, and a more urban setting, I was starting from scratch. It didn't take long, though, to find the way...Start here!Raising Monarchs Instructional Video Series Parts 1 - 5:youtube.com/watch?v=_I5F4AHyQHs&list=PLIJYERWSMyVrOpgo-TVIgWRFKARuT7ImTPlanting Milkweed Instructional Video Series Parts 1 - 4:youtube.com/watch?v=c_d1FMJiLo8&list=PLIJYERWSMyVphsed9fypj-n8g3axFBakC I have different uses for milkweed.

Raising Monarchs - Seed Scarification Experiment (Help The Monarch Butterfly) MrLundScience 2022-07-16 | Seed scarification is the natural weathering and damaging of a seed's casing. If growing milkweed, is this something we can do that will benefit our efforts? Do we need to do it? And even if we don't need to, is there still a benefit if we choose to? What techniques are better or worse? We can read plenty of internet blogs and pages that have opinions on this topic from every angle, but I say, evidence always speaks louder than words. Time to put seed scarification to the test!Special Note: This episode was filmed in late July of 2020 through early August of 2020.

Raising Monarchs - What Is The Best Milkweed? (Help The Monarch Butterfly) MrLundScience 2020-08-12 | Over the years, I have been asked this question many times. It's a simple question, but as I try to show in this episode, simple questions can still have complexity to their answers. Which milkweed is the "best" depends upon how you are choosing to measure "best", and this can be different from person to person, and their individual needs. Still, we attempt to explore what is likely important to consider when making your choice as to what milkweed is right for you and your intentions for it.Start here!Raising Monarchs Instructional Video Series Parts 1 - 5:youtube.com/watch?v=_I5F4AHyQHs&list=PLIJYERWSMyVrOpgo-TVIgWRFKARuT7ImTPlanting Milkweed Instructional Video Series Parts 1 - 4:youtube.com/watch?v=c_d1FMJiLo8&list=PLIJYERWSMyVphsed9fypj-n8g3axFBakC I have different uses for milkweed.

Raising Monarchs - Milkweed Categories (Help The Monarch Butterfly) MrLundScience 2020-07-14 | In thinking about some of the issues that I've heard come up recently, I realized that many of us use milkweed in different ways and for different reasons. I'm not exactly sure how you think about your milkweed resources, and I trust that there's multiple successful ways to go about it. In some cases/comments I've heard or directly read about, I know that some issues that come up, I never myself have encountered. Beyond that, I realized too that with the way I think about milkweed in certain categories, I would not be able to encounter some of these issues. Typically, these issues fall into the food shortage situation. I thought for some, it may be helpful if I discussed how I look at milkweed, what categories I put various sources of it in my head, and how I use those categories. As always, not saying this is the best way and that everyone needs to do it this way. Just showing what I do, why I do it, and what results I get.Peace!

Shuv-It Cancer! (Shuv-It Cancer Day Submission) MrLundScience 2020-07-10 | #ShuvItCancerDay is an awesome charity event to help raise funds for cancer research, begun by an incredibly rad Scottish gal, Elaine Shallcross. Diagnosed with cancer, Elaine decided, it's time to try something new, and challenged herself, having never been on a skateboard, to attempt a Pop ShuvIt today, July 10th, her birthday.Elaine passed, sadly, on June 10th, but not before she had already set in motion an inspirational challenge that has taken the skateboarding world by storm. Her story of dedication, and never being out of the game, had a major impact.Thank you Elaine for helping me shake the rust off this skater!#ShuvitCancer #ElaineShallcross
Raising Monarchs - TP Core Sprouts (Plant Milkweed!) MrLundScience 2020-05-26 | Here's a quick tip for giving milkweed sprouts a temporary, biodegradable home using toilet paper cores. I thought this fast to learn tactic would be a good way to start off a season where milkweed will be given more of a focus. Using the toilet paper core allows a non-plastic way to give sprouts a head start, which can be quickly transferred to soil in an eco-friendly, no hassle way.If you are new to this series, I highly recommend checking out the "core" of Raising Monarchs, Parts 1 - 5, which shows in detail, how I raise Monarchs from egg to adult, and how you can too with essentially zero cost using household items.Start here!Raising Monarchs Instructional Video Series Parts 1 - 5:youtube.com/watch?v=_I5F4AHyQHs&list=PLIJYERWSMyVrOpgo-TVIgWRFKARuT7ImTPlanting Milkweed Instructional Video Series Parts 1 - 4:youtube.com/watch?v=c_d1FMJiLo8&list=PLIJYERWSMyVphsed9fypj-n8g3axFBakC

Flat Earth & The Cavendish Experiment - Debunk The Funk #13 MrLundScience 2020-01-09 | Recent episodes have explored the Flat Earth denial of gravity. In this latest installment of that exploration, Henry Cavendish's famous experiment (aptly called the "Cavendish Experiment") is recreated in a qualitative, classroom setting. By using high density masses (lead bricks), visually compelling evidence of matter attracting matter is presented.For complete context, you may wish to first view the two previous episodes concerning Flat Earth and gravity:"Flat Earth Gravity and Density" - Debunk The Funk #11youtu.be/aEu97LMgz_M"Flat Earth Electrostatic Gravity" - Debunk The Funk #12youtu.be/dM5zB6GopZEDebunk The Funk is a series aimed at both exploring claims and their evidence (or lack thereof), along with developing critical thinking skills involved with logical arguments.The world needs critical thinkers......Make sure you're one of them!
The Cavendish Experiment - Obvious Gravitational Attraction MrLundScience 2020-01-04 | Edit: Sorry all. Conspiracy theorists and their potty-mouths are why we can't have nice things...such as a comments section on this video.Originally performed in 1797 by Henry Cavendish, the Cavendish Experiment was the first method for measuring the gravitational constant, G, which reflects the strength of gravitational force. In modern times, though, the Cavendish Experiment, when performed carefully enough, can qualitatively show the attractive force of gravity between objects. Because gravity is such a weak force, and because the strength of the force is increased by larger masses and closer distances, high density materials are ideal. Having been inspired by other classroom Cavendish Experiment demonstrations, I chose to try my hand at this knowing that I had access to lead bricks. The results produced seem quite compelling.The videos that most inspired this Cavendish quest came from Andrew Bennett, who has multiple, very well detailed and explained videos on his attempts at the Cavendish Experiment. If you wish to check them out, I recommend beginning here:"Cavendish Gravity Experiment Time Lapse Version 1"youtube.com/watch?v=11sLusnVZwM "Cavendish Gravity Experiment Time Lapse Version 2"youtube.com/watch?v=Mcg2h--JDv4
Iodine Clock Reaction Explained (Chemistry) MrLundScience 2019-12-12 | The Iodine Clock Reaction is a classic chemical demonstration of the kinetics of chemical reactions. Multiple variations of reactions exist that produce the same immediate and stunning effect. This video details the variation involving iodate and bisulfite solutions. The full reaction mechanism is detailed with a focus on what variables can be altered to affect the rate of the overall reaction.
Flat Earth Electrostatic Gravity - Debunk The Funk #12 MrLundScience 2019-12-06 | Of the problems the Flat Earth idea faces, gravity is one of the largest. In the previous episode, we examined how some proponents of the Flat Earth idea try to explain away gravity with the concept of density. In this episode, we dissect another avenue some FE enthusiasts try to use to describe gravity as not a gravitational force, but an electrical one. Using an easily reproducible static electricity demonstration, the idea of "electrostatic gravitation" is debunked, shown to be demonstrably false.If this video is of interest to you, you may wish to check out the previous episode for a more complete context:"Flat Earth Gravity and Density" - Debunk The Funk #11 youtu.be/aEu97LMgz_MDebunk The Funk is a series aimed at both exploring claims and their evidence (or lack thereof), along with developing critical thinking skills involved with logical arguments.

Raising Monarchs - The Breeding Question (Help The Monarch Butterfly) MrLundScience 2019-09-22 | Over the years, I've been asked a few times to present tips on how to breed Monarch Butterflies. However, I am not a breeder. Officially, I'm neutral on the subject, as there are correct and responsible ways that professionals do it, but there are also concerns experts have when the public tries to go about it. This episode reviews some of those concerns, what they are, and what sometimes the counter arguments to those concerns might be.If you are new to this series, I highly recommend checking out the "core" of Raising Monarchs, Parts 1 - 5, which shows in detail, how I raise Monarchs from egg to adult, and how you can too with essentially zero cost using household items.Start here!Raising Monarchs Instructional Video Series Parts 1 - 5:youtube.com/watch?v=_I5F4AHyQHs&list=PLIJYERWSMyVrOpgo-TVIgWRFKARuT7ImTSanitation instruction:"Sanitation" - youtu.be/6z9Yt5k_-vIRisks of overcrowding and tips to avoid it:"Overcrowding" - youtu.be/8HNTq7PEx9EOutdoor rearing example:"Outdoor Rearing" - youtu.be/LjEgU0Ub5hYDiscussion of the University of Chicago study:"Captive Rearing And Migration" - youtube.com/watch?v=XcH7I9CtZRQIssues that can occur with the chrysalis:"Chrysalis Issues" - youtu.be/wB8udbV3kOYHow to bleach treat eggs:"OE Parasite Prevention" - youtu.be/oZYzzcGiZRAHow to bleach treat leaves:"Preventing NPV and Other Infections" - youtu.be/2FE9646Z9xsHow to make a proper honey/water solution and feed adult Monarchs (or any butterfly):"How To Feed Adults" - youtu.be/CAks8lJ9SDYOptions for when an adult can not successfully fly:"When Adults Can't Fly" - youtu.be/XfuTlASal_UWhat the experts have to say about OE Parasites and when to euthanize:"Should We Euthanize?" - youtu.be/5WEewtof3w8Discussion on the life cycle of OE Parasites and how they affect the Monarch Butterflies:"What Are OE Parasites?" - youtu.be/kkZTfeFVMiE

Raising Monarchs - Artificial Milkweed Diet (Help The Monarch Butterfly) MrLundScience 2019-09-04 | What happens when your milkweed starts to diminish for the season, but you also still have hungry caterpillar mouths to feed? We hope to never be in such a situation, and the best way to avoid it is to be conservative in how many later season eggs/caterpillars we take in. Still, this situation can arise and one possible option is to have some "artificial" milkweed diet ready to bail you (and them) out. This episode shows the preparation of the artificial milkweed diet, along with its use on six Monarchs from egg to released adults.If you are new to this series, I highly recommend checking out the "core" of Raising Monarchs, Parts 1 - 5, which shows in detail, how I raise Monarchs from egg to adult, and how you can too with essentially zero cost using household items.Start here!Raising Monarchs Instructional Video Series Parts 1 - 5:youtube.com/watch?v=_I5F4AHyQHs&list=PLIJYERWSMyVrOpgo-TVIgWRFKARuT7ImTOutdoor rearing example:"Outdoor Rearing" - youtu.be/LjEgU0Ub5hYDiscussion of the University of Chicago study:"Captive Rearing And Migration" - youtube.com/watch?v=XcH7I9CtZRQIssues that can occur with the chrysalis:"Chrysalis Issues" - youtu.be/wB8udbV3kOYHow to bleach treat eggs:"OE Parasite Prevention" - youtu.be/oZYzzcGiZRAHow to bleach treat leaves:"Preventing NPV and Other Infections" - youtu.be/2FE9646Z9xsHow to make a proper honey/water solution and feed adult Monarchs (or any butterfly):"How To Feed Adults" - youtu.be/CAks8lJ9SDYOptions for when an adult can not successfully fly:"When Adults Can't Fly" - youtu.be/XfuTlASal_UWhat the experts have to say about OE Parasites and when to euthanize:"Should We Euthanize?" - youtu.be/5WEewtof3w8Discussion on the life cycle of OE Parasites and how they affect the Monarch Butterflies:"What Are OE Parasites?" - youtu.be/kkZTfeFVMiE

Rich Lund3 minutes each clock.Chess under the clock is a whole different game, especially with a low time limit. Blitz is NOT a way to get better at chess strategy...but hey, it *is* fun and heart pounding! Kenny Goodsell is a vicious player. When he has time on his side, watch out. Of students I've played, I think Kenny takes the crown for being one that can truly present a move that you didn't see coming. Some may call that unorthodox, but it works brutally to his advantage at times!
Raising Monarchs - Which Generation Migrates? (Help The Monarch Butterfly) MrLundScience 2019-08-20 | Which generation becomes the migratory generation of the Monarchs in North America east of the Rockies? You may have heard that it's the 4th generation, and that's not wrong, but it leaves out some of the details. While it works as a general rule, it's not so much about the number of the generation as it is what time of the season the caterpillar is developing. This episode gives an overview of the generations that a typical summer season will have, along with fleshing out some of the finer details.If you are new to this series, I highly recommend checking out the "core" of Raising Monarchs, Parts 1 - 5, which shows in detail, how I raise Monarchs from egg to adult, and how you can too with essentially zero cost using household items.Start here!Raising Monarchs Instructional Video Series Parts 1 - 5:youtube.com/watch?v=_I5F4AHyQHs&list=PLIJYERWSMyVrOpgo-TVIgWRFKARuT7ImTOutdoor rearing example:"Outdoor Rearing" - youtu.be/LjEgU0Ub5hYDiscussion of the University of Chicago study:"Captive Rearing And Migration" - youtube.com/watch?v=XcH7I9CtZRQIssues that can occur with the chrysalis:"Chrysalis Issues" - youtu.be/wB8udbV3kOYHow to bleach treat eggs:"OE Parasite Prevention" - youtu.be/oZYzzcGiZRAHow to bleach treat leaves:"Preventing NPV and Other Infections" - youtu.be/2FE9646Z9xsHow to make a proper honey/water solution and feed adult Monarchs (or any butterfly):"How To Feed Adults" - youtu.be/CAks8lJ9SDYOptions for when an adult can not successfully fly:"When Adults Can't Fly" - youtu.be/XfuTlASal_UWhat the experts have to say about OE Parasites and when to euthanize:"Should We Euthanize?" - youtu.be/5WEewtof3w8Discussion on the life cycle of OE Parasites and how they affect the Monarch Butterflies:"What Are OE Parasites?" - youtu.be/kkZTfeFVMiE
Raising Monarchs - Overcrowding (Help The Monarch Butterfly) MrLundScience 2019-08-14 | When rearing Monarch caterpillars, how many is too many in a container? When is it overcrowded? While the size of the container, and age of the caterpillars would be necessary to address such questions, still, there isn't a magic number that is perfectly fine, but one more and overcrowding disasters are guaranteed to strike. Instead, it's a case of making sure we minimize health risks while housing a reasonable number of caterpillars together. This episode examines some risks that exist, and offers conservative estimates to give viewers some idea of where to start.If you are new to this series, I highly recommend checking out the "core" of Raising Monarchs, Parts 1 - 5, which shows in detail, how I raise Monarchs from egg to adult, and how you can too with essentially zero cost using household items.Start here!Raising Monarchs Instructional Video Series Parts 1 - 5:youtube.com/watch?v=_I5F4AHyQHs&list=PLIJYERWSMyVrOpgo-TVIgWRFKARuT7ImTSanitation instruction:"Sanitation" - youtu.be/6z9Yt5k_-vIOutdoor rearing example:"Outdoor Rearing" - youtu.be/LjEgU0Ub5hYDiscussion of the University of Chicago study:"Captive Rearing And Migration" - youtube.com/watch?v=XcH7I9CtZRQIssues that can occur with the chrysalis:"Chrysalis Issues" - youtu.be/wB8udbV3kOYHow to bleach treat eggs:"OE Parasite Prevention" - youtu.be/oZYzzcGiZRAHow to bleach treat leaves:"Preventing NPV and Other Infections" - youtu.be/2FE9646Z9xsHow to make a proper honey/water solution and feed adult Monarchs (or any butterfly):"How To Feed Adults" - youtu.be/CAks8lJ9SDYOptions for when an adult can not successfully fly:"When Adults Can't Fly" - youtu.be/XfuTlASal_UWhat the experts have to say about OE Parasites and when to euthanize:"Should We Euthanize?" - youtu.be/5WEewtof3w8Discussion on the life cycle of OE Parasites and how they affect the Monarch Butterflies:"What Are OE Parasites?" - youtu.be/kkZTfeFVMiE
Raising Monarchs - Side J-Hang Relocation (Help The Monarch Butterfly) MrLundScience 2019-08-12 | There can be times where a Monarch caterpillar chooses to J-hang in a less than optimal location. This can cause a bit of concern if that position may result in the chrysalis not forming into the correct shape. If a Monarch caterpillar chooses to J-hang from the side of a wall or other vertical surface, it's possible that the side of the chrysalis nearest that surface may have a flat side when it dries and hardens. Flat areas, or really any abnormal shape of the chrysalis can lead to developmental deformities, particularly wing deformities. While it's not a guarantee that things will go wrong, side J-hangers can cause us concern. This episode shows briefly the tools and relocation of a J-hanging caterpillar to provide people with an option, should they encounter this situation.If you are new to this series, I highly recommend checking out the "core" of Raising Monarchs, Parts 1 - 5, which shows in detail, how I raise Monarchs from egg to adult, and how you can too with essentially zero cost using household items.Start here!Raising Monarchs Instructional Video Series Parts 1 - 5:youtube.com/watch?v=_I5F4AHyQHs&list=PLIJYERWSMyVrOpgo-TVIgWRFKARuT7ImTDiscussion of the University of Chicago study:"Captive Rearing And Migration" - youtube.com/watch?v=XcH7I9CtZRQIssues that can occur with the chrysalis:"Chrysalis Issues" - youtu.be/wB8udbV3kOYHow to bleach treat eggs:"OE Parasite Prevention" - youtu.be/oZYzzcGiZRAHow to bleach treat leaves:"Preventing NPV and Other Infections" - youtu.be/2FE9646Z9xsHow to make a proper honey/water solution and feed adult Monarchs (or any butterfly):"How To Feed Adults" - youtu.be/CAks8lJ9SDYOptions for when an adult can not successfully fly:"When Adults Can't Fly" - youtu.be/XfuTlASal_UWhat the experts have to say about OE Parasites and when to euthanize:"Should We Euthanize?" - youtu.be/5WEewtof3w8Discussion on the life cycle of OE Parasites and how they affect the Monarch Butterflies:"What Are OE Parasites?" - youtu.be/kkZTfeFVMiE
Flat Earth Gravity And Density - Debunk The Funk #11 MrLundScience 2019-08-10 | The Flat Earth idea is not compatible with Gravitational Theory. How Flat Earth enthusiasts reconcile this with the idea of objects falling can be varied. However, a common "go to" answer is one that attempts to explain gravity away with the concept of density. This type of gravity denial is examined, along with a demonstration that poses some questions."Flat Earth Sunsets" - Debunk The Funk #1youtube.com/watch?v=DJZgwuFmn6E"Flat Earth & The Sun's Diameter" - Debunk The Funk #2youtube.com/watch?v=W0UcdY62Sw4Debunk The Funk is a series aimed at both exploring claims and their evidence (or lack thereof), along with developing critical thinking skills involved with logical arguments.The world needs critical thinkers......Make sure you're one of them!
