I'm Jane Marie, and this is The Dream, a show where we do a lot of debunking about science, health care, foods, vitamins, minerals, et cetera.

And when you do a bunch of research about any one of those things, the Internet brings you friends like this.

My name is Dr. Kentuck, as I am known on the internet, and I am a recently PhD graduate,

synthetic organic chemist who goes online and explains chemistry to people who otherwise might not want to know anything about chemistry,

because I'm really good at sneaking up on you with chemistry,

and not letting you know that you're learning chemistry

until you've already learned something.

And then you're like, bam, wow, he really got me with that.

Yep.

One of you already brought up one of my questions is why do people not want to know chemistry?

Honestly, I just think it's because it gets, I think a lot of people get, like, scared away from science when they're in, like, early childhood education, you know, like elementary school.

First and first of all, I don't know how early most people end up getting introduced to science as a subject in school. I think that varies across the board and whether or not a school even

like offers it also depends on certain things. But then you also got this like, I don't know, at least for when

I was a kid, I felt like it was like they were very quick to be like, oh, you're good at math,

you'll be good at science. Here, we're going to like push that on you. And then, but I like kind of

showed an interest in an aptitude that maybe some other kids would have had if they had been

exposed to it in a certain

type of way, you know, but like I was kind of like shuffled into it a little bit because I,

I expressed an interest kind of on my own. But I feel like a lot of people don't, like I just,

I feel like a lot of people just like they don't get exposed to it early enough

such that by the time they get introduced to it it kind of it requires you to think about things

in a way that are a little harder to do if you haven't been introduced to it earlier on you know yeah
