Great writeup from @MIT, thanks for letting me share my work!
“I’ve had students come and say their research is about one of the videos I’ve done, or they’ve now decided to go into marine engineering because of a marine engineering video I did.” ~ James Dingley SM ’23 of @AtomicFrontiers bit.ly/3x4cPme

It turns out that the sound of sandworms in #DunePartTwo is a real thing! I went to Australia to find out what makes sand dunes sing youtu.be/v29ou094luc

I only found this out after making the episode but it turns out that the 'Glooper' from Terry Pratchett's 'Making Money' is based on the real-life Phillips Machine! An excellent and very amusing read!

New episode is complete! Which means a) patrons have early-access to forbidden ÷0 knowledge, b) I'm accepting new video ideas for the New England region, and c) I should really write my thesis.

Probably one of my favourite comments this week. Glad dressing up as a pirate was worth it!⚓

Atomic Frontier is 9 years old today! To celebrate how far we've come here's throwback to the first video I ever published online. youtu.be/IvG3PcKg59o

Back in Boston after an exhausting ten days in Europe of conferences, research sponsor meetings, and filming! Guess which underground we visited this time!

Reading way too many law books for the next episode. Anyway, here's an important announcement from the FDA.

If nothing else, the views on this video provide me with a helpful guide for when it is alltogether far too hot to be in London. Stay safe out there! youtu.be/hQo6_GkITe0

New Video! We think there are 70,000 new plant species out there, of which 36,000 have been collected but are lost *somewhere* in archival storage. I went to Washington D.C. to try find some. youtu.be/Lz_8R00zSDk

New filming mega-expedition booked! 🇺🇸🇫🇷🇱🇺 If you have cool engineering / science friends in Texas, California, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Alaska, Maine, Paris, or Luxembourg then I'd love to have a talk! ✈️
