"You need to be a real genius to have really simple idea."
- Sir Martyn Poliakoff
Quote of the century.
I slept past my alarm today, but the notification for this video woke me up and now I'll only be a couple of minutes late for work. thanks Brady!
you dumb log
+Connor Mooneyhan Once again, science prevails.
+EH CBunny hahaha
+Connor Mooneyhan Do you work as a scientist?
+Mc Einstein haha no I'm a student. I work at a bookstore. one day I will be a scientist though!
Thank you for those encouraging last word doc. They really hit home for me as a young scientist :)
womp, replied to myself
***** Studying to be a microbiologist :) I love molecular biology too, essential for micro
***** That's cool. I never tried building my own microscope. So you are up on me with that skill :) Did you try to look up sources online to help you out?
+Shivanshu Siyanwal I know right, and Google everything. That's the new way of being smart, ya know? Gotta know how to ask Suri questions to pass those classes yo! (Being 100% sarcastic) Kids put your phone down now. I mean it! Pass classes the old fashioned way and watch out for a generation of... Gulp...Not so smart people. The phone may take over.
weeaboo
She also examined 2,000 different compounds for there possibly being one that could treat malaria and worked to prove that it actually worked scientifically, that it was effective, and that it was cheap to make.
So I just discovered this channel and it is wonderful. Btw I love the comical anecdotes you add, British humour is the best
+Daniel Zarate many thanks
The nobel prize is $485,000, while the Dota 2 Championship is $17 million. What a world we live in.
I'm a simple man. I see Professor Poliakoff and I hit like.
The professor is genuinely awesome
thank you for such a great message for young scientists :)
+Susana Paço Well, most scientists are 25+, so not very young really.
+Mc Einstein But people take "young scientist" to mean under the age of 40. That's old to me as I'm not even 25 yet! But you really are a young scientist if you;re 30ish, given that the average scientist is significantly older.
+Mc Einstein He specifically addressed young scientists in the video.
thank you you too
+Mc Einstein If you are lucky enough to live to 50 you could change you mind.
Thank you to the Professor, his colleagues and all of the Periodic Videos team - and it's great to be in the company of someone who also has a 2:2 BSc (Hons) in Chemistry!!
I've discovered this channel recently, and well, it's a pleasure to hear prepared people talking about their fields of expertise. Unlike many (too many) other people on TH-cam and Internet in general.
Congratulations and thanks you!.
Her name (屠呦呦) is actually pronounced Tu Yoyo, not "Yuyu".
It's a little less confusing when they sing happy birthday to her.
我感觉波利亚科夫教授的发音还可以
I've learned more from this channel than I did in all my years of high school, thanks for the great work.
"You have to be a real genius to have a really simple idea."
Well said.
5.00 "you have to be a real genius to have a simple idea". Best quote ever
That last bit has me very inspired. I appreciate your words Prof.
"You have to be a genius, to have simple ideas" ..... That is simply great !!!!
Twins on the thumbnail there.
No offense Sir Martyn.
"Youyou Tu"... The most confusing person to sing happy birthday to in the world!
How original.
+FartingNinjaFrog The pronunciation is obscure even to Chinese. Really
I really like your videos! they are so interesting and it has really made my interest for physics and chemistry so much larger! thank you proffesor
+filip kesselbacher professor
Love the message at the end :) +Periodic Videos
Thanks proff for ur motivation at last,hope u r doing well.
Inspiring video! Great message :) and thanks for explaining the Nobel prize :)
I love these videos. Thank you Brady
this seems more relevant in 2020 rather than 2015
Fantastic explanations!
In the next video I'd like the professor to have an afro comb in his hair, black shades on and a gold chain around his neck.
Hear hear!
+Neumah Black leather jacket. Enough said.
Thanks for the encouragement, Professor :)
"You have to be very genius to have a simple idea!" That is a enlightening sentence! Thanks
"You have to be a real genius to have a really simple idea" - The Professor
"You must be a genius to discover a simple idea"
That was beautiful.
Why would people down vote these awesome videos?!
I've always wanted to say, thank you, Dr Poliakoff, to you and your team.
By the way, how much does the Nobel Medal weigh?
Amazing insight
We used the bovine version of ivemection on the farm when I was growing up. Very effective against all the little critters that attack livestock and diminish productivity.
Thanks for that last words, Professor!
4:59
"You have to be a real genius to have a really simple idea"
-Sir Martyn "The Professor" Poliakoff
I think this may be my favorite Professor quote of all time.
It can be interesting if in the next video you talk about the glowstick reaction!
I loved the last bit of this video even more than I normally love them and had to post a comment. Im sure it's very inspiring for scientists that may not be collaborating with the "big names" that even though they may not be working with Harvard or anyone like that, and they may not have the fanciest degree, that their work can be just as recognised as anyone else's. Science is one of the very few fields out there that is completely about fact. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, or how much money you have. If your idea is truly great then the little guy can be just as great if not better than the big wigs. The only limit you have is yourself :-)
Agreed
+Will Frey Well said/written
Wonderful video.
Nice to see a Nobel Prize going to someone who deserves it.
I love how he says that you have to be a real genius to have a simple idea.
Awesome channel
Why did you have to cut between the discussion of the two different compounds so much? It made it a little tough to follow.
Best quote of this video: "You have to be a real genius to have a really simple idea".
Turn up the volume. This and many of your videos are inaudible.
Fine on my iPad you either need hearing aids or a new computer
+Hunter Wulf "a new computer" for a volume issue hahahaha
+Hunter Wulf Macs have built-in loudness equalization. This is a nice feature, but it has nothing to do with the fact that this video is too quit.
+PhysicsPolice Yes, there is a noticeable difference between the volumes of William and the professor, and the peaks are very low overall.
The leveling is absolutely abysmal on these videos lately. I'd think a channel with this much experience could at least abide broadcast loudness standards to some degree.
I also have to crank up the volume to hear these videos.
It's annoying that this video keeps switching between two different tracks. Trust us to have an attention span of more than thirty seconds, please.
Thanks
You(you Tu(be))
xD
+BengalBoy16 happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear youyou tu, happy birthday to you
Razoreas You win the cake.
Congratulations to UU2 for winning the Nobel Prize! For once, Bono doesn't get the prize.
Very inspiring
does anyone remember the video of periodic videos where they ask Neal where he got a material and he just nods and says I don't know
"You have to be a real genius to have a really simple idea" -Prof Poliakoff
I find the audio have lower then average volume on in general on your channels. Could you maybe up the volume by 25% in future videos?
Do a video on OH radicals and diamond anodes! please please please i will like and share i promise!
I have a question for you guys! I was working with some aqueous copper sulfate (which is a beautiful blue) and a thought popped into my head - would it be possible to paint (or create paints) with colorful solutions like copper sulfate, cobalt chloride, etc?
can you make a continuously beating cuff/a beating heart through a cycle of: explosssion and quick condensation and explosssion/gas expanding then condensation again and the cycle continues, the way it can be made is by having liquid reacting with a thin flexible layer/coating to give expanding gas then the gas touches a layer that changes it to liquid again which still react with the bottom layer to form a rapidly expanding gas, and a layer beneath the reactive layer in the bottom that forms the reactive layer again and layer that forms the top layer which rapidly changes the gas to liquid again. in other words a continuously pulsating cuff that beats forever/an engine that moves forever.
I wish I could live in your hair.
Is it just me or is the audio in this video kind of quiet? compared to some of my other subs, Brady's videos tend to be quieter than the rest.
When he said, "it doesn't work on collie dogs", I was like, what mechanism within the dogs makes it ineffective against parasites. When he said it gives them a heart attack, I was like "oh"...
If it is a really simple idea, but somehow the whole world has not thought of it in scientific history, then it is still an ingenious idea.
volume is too low can't hear a thing! 😥
+Lakshay Modi Then turn it up.
+Lakshay Modi really? I hear it clearly
Zé Bianchi well I can't, and as ***** mentioned, this is the issue with many of Brady's videos. I can hear it with earphones as I can make it louder then or barely by switching off the ceiling fan, but it's better to have a loud volume in the video because then viewers have the option to adjust it according to their need.
Lakshay Modi it sure is.
Glad I wasn't the only one. I was trying to put my ear inside my phone so I could hear the audio.
The finale though !
When do you get your Nobel Prize?
I'm from Portugal and I could had visit Professor Martyn Poliakoff in Lisbon... Dam I'm sad!
How does the 'spell checker' know which base is wrong? Would this have an affect on the proteins produced?
"happy birthday youyou tu
happy birthday to you"
"You have to be a real genious to have a really simple idea" I like that :)
Bit of trivia, "tu" means "you" in french
"And I felt a tiny bit of reflected glory" :D
The professor was at Lisbon, Portugal? :O
Why is a garment called a jumper?
The moment the professor said they boiled it, i thought ... "then don't boil it" i did not even need to read through ancient texts :D
So are the two discoveries related in any way? Or is the prize split between an anti-malaria molecule and a molecule that kills parasites but not dogs? And if so why not two separate prizes?
I have a question in 0:58 those forms what are they called
But what about the Dengue And Chicumcumbia?
Happy birthday Youyou Tu o7
+STriderFIN77 Her birthday is the 30th December.
The man at 0:30 does he have a youtube channel?
You'd have to be a real genius to have a really simple idea~!
-Sir Martyn 2015
Does he mean Word Perfect 5.1 at 6:45 instead of Word?
+nrellis666 Considering that Word jumped from 2.0 to 6.0 and then to Word 95, and Word Perfect 5.1 was released in 1989 and was one of the most popular word processing applications at the time, that seems very likely. Plus, I would expect even current Word software to have backwards compatibility with their old formats.
Stop stealing my brain and you do a lot of benefit for humanity .
the first step when engineering anything is to figure out everything that you can remove and still achieve your goal. the simplest solution is nine times out of ten the best solution.
Professor, you can get a brojob anytime just ask.
Amazing how mother nature synthesizes these compounds, isn't it?
I have a very simple question everyone. If I had a device in my possession that could, lets say, answer any question... Solve any problem... Find the chemical formula for any compound, would that be considered cheating and are we facing a new generation of absolute morons? To bolster my claim, why are we (the West) now ranked lowest on test scores for book smarts? This just happened in the past 10 years. We used to read books, we sat down and spent hours on an equation and now it's all figured out for us within seconds. We've lost the skills to look up Cyclopentadiene and it's Dienophile's in the library. Shoot, I bet kids today don't even understand what Dewey Decimals are. If they do, it's written as ancient hieroglyphic history... This is something to be said. Sitting down and actually figuring these things out, connecting the dots with your own brain power instead of an Intel processor and spending a major portion of our existence on meaningless sites. I'm 34 and put this out here. Are our devices creating false smarts? Read the top comments.
+fla playa Not really. I'm sure it has it's pitfalls, but the advantages are larger in number, and more importantly, majorly unknown. It's hard to realize how little we live through when we live so long, but it's important nevertheless. A hundred years is such a short time to understand the patterns and trends we adapt, it's way too short to realize the importance or the uselessness of an idea.
To answer your question regarding 'book smarts', note that cleverness and ingenuity is not related to how students perform on pieces of paper, but on the variety of knowledge they have. However, this does not mean that the more you know, the more guaranteed you are at success. Nor does it mean that those who do well on tests are less creative. All it means is that creativity is found where the motivation is found, and motivation, while lacking in some, will always remain a human quality. So newer technologies will distance us from older methods, but a child/adult seeking knowledge will never cease to exist, and that is what humanity has always needed, and always had
If you structured your videos differently, they'd be far more interesting, the first minute told us very little and could've been shortened a lot.
Love this drug
Anybody else always sees a face in Artemisinin ? o-o
It's interesting watching this in 2021 where Ivermectin has been in the news so much; and Rob was part of its development.
The lesson at 6:55 would be nice if it were generally true. The reality is that good work published in low impact journals just won't reach as wide an audience as it otherwise should, which means there will be a greater role for luck in it gaining recognition.
Second, the Nobel prizes are considered great honours, but they are awarded on the basis of the opinions of fairly unremarkable groups of people (as are knighthoods Sir Poliakoff). These self-selected committees happen to have the financial backing of the Nobel organization and a media tradition of showing interest in their opinions, but there is no mechanism that ensures that their judgements about what constitute the most significant advances in each field are representative of the opinions of experts within those fields.
Younger scientists worry about those parameters because those parameters are what hiring committees care about. It's not enough to tell young researchers that their work will one day be recognised. Academic policies need to change.
I paused the video to get this off my chest. A scientific paper written in Word? Seriously? Tex has been around for 12 years in 1992 and even LaTex was around for 2 years. I mean, despite being typographically acurate, which is important for scientific papers, it also is based on simple Text-Files that will never ever fail to open in any editor from now until the end of days. Why someone uses a format like DOC to write a paper is beyond my comprehension.
+YouHolli Presumbably, it was what he knew how to use, and what he had available. Remember, this was his _first ever_ scientific paper, and he has most likely learnt a bit about how to make sure his files can stand up to the test of time since then.
+YouHolli Really? Beyond your comprehension? A difference in learning curve perhaps? Also, word was and still is much more widely available. Almost no one had Unix-based machines at home in 1992 and I doubt there were many Tex or LaTex implementations on other platforms at that time. Also, Word has had support for text-based formats like .docx and .odf (both based on XML) for the best part of a decade now, so it would be hard to argue that these will be any less readable than LaTex files by the text editors of the distant future.
Nillie No, Tex is easy to learn and use. And it's free and open source. And I learned about it in week 1 at uni.
cavalrycome _"for the best part of a decade"_
So? It's still 13 years from 1992 to 2005.
+YouHolli You also appear to be arguing that LaTex is a better choice now. One of your arguments doesn't support that position. Your comment reads like someone who is vigorously patting themselves on the back more than anything sensible.
Make that "If your ideas are really good, they _might_ be recognized."
I don't want to know how much really great research is buried in the insane amount of papers that are produced these days. Nobody can read all that stuff and great ideas have gone unrecognized for decades or even centuries way back in the days when people didn't have to restrict themselves to tiny subfields to be able to keep up.
Translating from english to catalan "Youyou" would be "Tutu". So "Youyou Tu" would be translated as "Tutu Tu".
+kapullas L'espanyol te la mateixa paraula per a això, saps?
+LightningCat Craft "Tu" en castellà porta accent.
La pronunciació es la matixa.
Dr Youyou Tu must be hard to sing happy birthday to.
Youyou tu should sue google and youtube, clearly they were ripping off her name =P
poliakof was in my city lisbon and I didn't met him :'(((((((((((((((((((((((((((
anyway, next year he will get the nobel prize
Easiest way for nobel? Explain traditional medicine.
there is ayurveda india
The Nobel Prize committee didnt want to recognise the benefits and knowledge contained in alternative medicine. Pharmaceutical corporations love that dont they.
+Peter Kan Do you know what they call "alternative medicine" that has been proven to work? Medicine.
2021 goes oof
