I’ve been waiting all week to share the Periodic Table of Videos with you! While one- to four-minute videos about each of the elements in the periodic table might not sound exciting, the chemists who star in these little clips are so enthusiastic about what they do it’s hard not to get excited right along with them. You might not love Boron quite as much as Deborah Kays but you’ll be hard-pressed not to giggle along with the crew demonstrating the reactive nature of Sodium.

Produced by a team at the University of Nottingham, the videos are all available via YouTube. They’ve also provided them on an alternate server for those who might not be able to access YouTube.
I-N-F-OdoodaDs brought to you by the letters Si, In, and many more I’m sure!

I love these - some of the professors are delightfully eccentric, and all the videos I’ve seen so far have been a nice mix of information, anecdote and personality.
