You can HEAR the difference between hot and cold water, you can measure the speed of light with your microwave, and you can make a cloud in a bottle. You can do all this today, right now with what you have at home.
This week, I did three experiments that can help us learn more about ourselves, our world and our universe — literally! By the end of this video you’ll be able to measure the speed of light with your microwave, make a cloud in a bottle and listen to the temperature of water (humans are amazing). In the midst of #socialdistancing, #scicomm and popular science will be our savior! Just because we all have work from home jobs now doesn't mean we can't impress each other with a little knowledge!
EXPERIMENT 1: Hear the difference between hot and cold water
— Needs: 1. Kettle 2. Heat source 3. Two (2) identical cups 4. A blindfold. 5. A friend!
— How to: Heat some water, and put some in the fridge. Have your friend blindfold themselves. Pour each into a glass (or two!) and see if they can tell the difference between the hot and cold water!
EXPERIMENT 2: Measure the speed of light with a microwave + chocolate bar
— Needs: 1. Microwave 2. Microwave safe plate 3. Chocolate bar / chocolate chips 4. little bits of cardboard
— How to: Take the rotating plate out of the microwave and make little cylinders with the cardboard to hold up the plate (don’t use tape). Put chocolate on a plate. Set in the microwave and heat on medium-low for 20 seconds, checking every five. Measure the divots in the chocolate in centimeters and use this equation to get the speed of light!
Light = 2(your measurement) x the frequency of the microwave.
EXPERIMENT 3: Make a cloud in a bottle
— Needs: 1. Warm water from the tap. 2. A match. 3. A plastic bottle with a lid.
— How to: Put water in the bottle about 2/3 full. Light the match, let it burn for about halfway. Blow it out and drop it into the bottle. Close the lid real tight and squeeze hard! When you loosen you’ll get a cloud!!
Doing #sciencecommunication is why I put pants on in the morning. I love being a professional nerd. If you were half as excited about this as I was, please give this video a share with a friend or two. A few seconds of effort on your part really goes a long way. 💕

My brother for literally calling at that exact moment.
My fiancee for letting me take over her workspace/the kitchen during this stressful time. Love you, babe!
~~~~~ 🐣 EASTER EGGS FOR READERS 🐣 ~~~~~
P.S — This was the craziest video to put together. It took three days of filming, and a week of editing to get it all and it’s still got things I’d love to fix or re-tape. The thing to remember is every video gets a little better. I am really proud of this one and I hope you love it.
P.P.S. -- It's okay to not watch the news and instead just watch science videos. Really. It's totally okay.
Love you, #nerdfam! Thanks for supporting my science communication journey, and stay #curious! 💕

⏰ SERIES DESCRIPTION
⏡⏡⏡⏡⏡⏡⏡⏡⏡⏡⏡⏡
Dads exist in every culture and in every animal on earth and yet, in humans theyre not often studied, and sometimes ignored entirely. In this series, I dug into the importance of dads in human relationships. I learned that #Dads need to be present, engaged, and involved. How having a dad around affects you (for better or worse). That meant exploring what it means to be a dad, whether the kids #samesexparents are any different than those of different-sex parents, how children physiologically change their parents brain, and whether toxic masculinity and machismo is harming your kids.
Dads are more than just a male parent. Theyre a set of traits that show children who they can be and are different than their other parent. Dads are source of security, safety, play, communication, emotion, empathy, love, and companionship (Just like any other parent). Non-birthing parents have a different outlook than birthing #parents simply because they’re different human beings!

The impact of cross-cultural experience on opportunity recognition capabilities
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0883902616300052
We argue that cross-cultural experience increases the ability to recognize entrepreneurial opportunities. This argument is supported by two complementary studies—a longitudinal quasi-experiment and a priming experiment.
