The professor has no idea just how cool he is.
I was thinking that. He’s way more interesting than just about anyone I know
He's so cool. Definitely would be someone I'd bug for a photograph. To put in perspective I've seen more of the professor than probably 75% of actors in movies/tv, and he's being himself which makes himself generally more interesting than most movie stars who I only ever see pretending to be someone else.
That was a great statement.....He is sooo likable.
I think he does. However he doesn't allude to it, which makes him even more cool. By far one of my most favorite people on Planet Earth.
That's part of what makes him so cool
"What color are your walls?"
"Knowledge."
Lol
in a Scottish accent you could say they were all red, pronounced read if you didn't know

He even has books above the doorway
"I have no idea why they were frightened of me"

The Professor's study looks exactly like you'd expect
Yes, that was my first impression too. Martyn rocks :)
So cozy. :)
I expected the study to be a wee bit bigger.
The walls were made out of books, succesfuly isolating the sound by a sound proof barrier made out of knowledge, the proffesor exploded all the beacons he wanted.
actually expected it to be a little bit more "messy" or unorganized ^^
"How can they be star struck by someone as ordinary as me?" - Dr. Professor Sir Martyn Poliakoff, CBE CChem FRS FREng FRSC FIChemE
It says a lot about The Professor that he can have this many RUclips fans, that many awards and certifications, but he's still humble as ever.
Is that the order that Dr. Professor Sir go in?
@@Mutantcy1992 I believe Sir always comes last before the name. Such as in General Sir Nick Carter
Its humbling just to be able to be able to listen to such an amazing man chemist scientist and an amazing human being who I'm very proud to be a fellow human being with it gives me hope and inspiration for life
Professor Dr. I believe to be the correct order
@@hi_im_angelatrainor in usual British practice, the title of Professor usually replaces Doctor. His doctorate would be indicated by PhD after the fellowships if at all probably because British academia does not practice formal habilitation.
"How can they be star-struck by someone as ordinary as me?"
That's exactly the reason Professor. You prove to us, in a very entertaining way, that ordinary people can rise to the levels of tackling things like complex chemistry through diligence and a passion for what you do. You help bring accessibility to a subject stigmatized as inaccessible to the average person.
Well said
Two chemists walk into a bar. "I'll have H2O," says the first.
"I'll have H2O, too," says the second.
The bartender gives them both water because he is able to distinguish the boundary tones that dictate the grammatical function of homonyms in coda position, as well as pragmatic context.
Your a crazy person! I like it, :)
no u
Nice
Duh. Do you think?
@@peehandshihtzu You're*
I think the professor might be the only person whose quarantine hair looks more in order than his pre-quarantine hair.
He should color it a funky color

funny truth
I'm getting dreadlocks...not by choice!!
The Professor has Bob Ross levels of wholesomeness. What a legend. Extraordinary man.
And Bob ross levels of hair too !
I am self-isolating for this man alone.
George Bizos exactly ! That is why I’m doing it also
Self isolating more like unemployed
I'm with you
That room looks like an Aladins Cave of knowledge and curiosity
It looks magical
So magical and scientific
Touch nothing but the alcohol lamp!
Somewhere hidden there is the recipe to make gold.
Awesome professor!
"Why would anybody be star struck by me?" - The Professor is a legend, that's why!
"I've met a lot of Nobel prize winners and sometimes their really quite conceited, but very often they are delightfully modest ...". Appreciate the Professors fearless honesty!
It caught me off guard that he said that because its definitely true. Some people replaced their heart and soul with knowledge and facts and it makes them cold and rigid.
Good to see you're well and lively.
No chemist without burns and yellow fingers
What is a pirate's favourite element?
You may be tempted to say "ARRRRGon!"
But, it's gold.
It's plutonium.
It's Kryptonium

"There´s no good joke about chemistry, because all of then argon!", So good professor!
You can't tell a joke about noble gases these days - you get no reaction.

“Na”, I disagree
"For our chemistry exam we had to write a thousand words on acid. Unfortunately my pen turned into a gorilla and the floor melted. "
Someone asked me if I liked the film the 5th element. But I thought that it was rather boron.
- A neutron walks into a bar and orders a beer. When finished, he asks the bartender how much it costs.
- For you, no charge
if a king farts, is it a noble gas?
@@itsdokko2990 No - but if Ros Nobel did it would be (-:
-An anode spills some of his agarose solution.
-Cathode: Well, you still have some left, that's a plus!
The walls of his study are literally built out of education.
It would be a great series for objects/books to be chosen from those shelves and for the Prof to tell us the significance of each. I'll bet each item has great significance.
educatium
@@ChefMimsy Sounds like a nice crossover for the Objectivity channel.
*literally*
"I don't really like such nonsense" - he delivers it with such a warm smile, ultimate understated put-down!
2:39 hearing the professor speak while looking at my yellow fingers. the world feels a litlle less lonely.
Oh God, I wish he lives forever.
9:47 do you know any periodic jokes?
Occasionally.
There is a restaurant with two doors. Prof. Mendeleev comes in through the front door, eats, goes out through the back door and simultaneously appears through the front door, eats, gets out through the back door and simultaneously gets back in through the front door, eats again, and gets heavier and heavier with each return, until he decays radioactively.

Thank you, professor. I so appreciate you posting during this COVID stay-in time. I love you and your dept mates who participate in your videos.
I appreciate these videos and the education and entertainment they impart. Haven't said that in a while, so I figure I should. I know the prof. doesn't consider himself a celeb, but he's earned it in my book.
Thank you Sir. You are an inspiration to everyone not just in the field of chemistry.
Professor, your study is exactly how I would have imagined it! Absolutely chocablock with books.
Omg omg I am sooooooo happy to see the professor. Glad your staying safe professor. TPTV is the best chemistry channel on RUclips. And loved this Q & A session.
My words! Nothing to add.
Two atoms talking: "I'm missing an electron." "Are you sure?" "I'm positive!"
The electrons argon!

You sir are most extraordinary. Such a modest man
It would be fantastic to see what experiments one can do at home. Fantastic video by the way!
I'm so glad to see you're well.
Thank you for all the educational entertainment! I appreciate your channel so much.
Thank you for answering the questions and I'm happy you seem to be ok.
Please take care of yourself and look forward to watch more videos from you.
I would be interested to know what are your favourite books in your home library.
You, Sir, are wonderful! I just love your videos!!
I’m so happy to see a new video, and to see your face today was a real treat. Thank you!!
thanks for coming back Professor! I needed your calm and wisdom in these times
Best channel on the whole RUclips. Rock on, y'all.
I really appreciate these longer videos! Please make more. Stay safe.
He has effected me profoundly & I really appreciate his “filling in” my knowledge base. Love & respect my dear sir.
Thank you so much for posting during quarantine really enjoy your videos and he is the most lovable Professor ever! His drive and passion for chemistry is refreshing you don’t see it much anymore for many fields let alone the sciences.
Hi professor! Watching from Spain, we are getting through it, I'm glad to see the team back at it.
I hope to meet the professor someday. His expansive knowledge is truly inspiring.
i love that there is no musical intro to these videos. just content
Hi Professor and team! I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos. I'm so glad to see you're all doing well during these hard times and it's brilliant to hear you'll continue to make videos. I'm now soon to begin my second year studying chemical engineering 😁
I’m happy to see you’re well professor. Stay safe everybody!
Stay alive my favorite scientist!
He will
Thank you for continuing to upload during these times! Hope you're all staying safe!
I'm glad you are still with us regardless of isolation:) I'm looking forward for new videos!!!
I'm so happy to know that Professor is doing completely fine amidst the pandemic, god bless
I like your channel. I have to admit I don't know too much about chemistry (That's why I watch you). I like what you said about new chemist trying lots of experments, to gain confedece, building self confidence in the lab. Being a cook, youve got to try lots of receipes, to shape your learning curve. I geuss cooking and chemistry have alot in common. Thanks for the videos...Steveb
I was never into chemistry or the periodic table until I saw your videos and channel you love for science actually created a curiosity leading me to watch your videos and learn new things I never would have
thank you so much for such blessed content in this trying time. you are an internet treasure and truly one of the best people around!
2:29 "touch wood" I didn't know that saying went like that in the UK
Yeah "touch wood" or "knock on wood"
How do you say it in... portuguese? Haha
In Italy we say "touch iron"
We in Sweden use it to. Ta i trä. (touch on wood)
In Poland we say "odpukać w niemalowane" which means "knock on wood".
Respect and Love from Pakistan for Sir and the whole periodic videos team. This is the best youtube channel.
Thanks! Always very cool to hear your storys, professor.
Thank you professor!! I’m really excited for the new content!
Sir Prof Mart is life.
"A great chemist can do anything!"
I would really like to hear his opinions on how chemistry is portrayed in film and tv.
Thoroughly enjoying these videos despite having little to no chemistry knowledge but a whole lot of curiousity and a massive amount of respect for the Prof.
Professor, I believe you ARE extraordinary. You've done a great deal to inspire and educate people all around the world, and your work has probably had a greater positive impact than any one winner of Nobel Prizes.
3:18 Idoine clock. You got rates of reaction redox and it looks magical.
The prof is FAR from ordinary.
Much respect from me 😁
*if only i were so ordinary*
Prof Martyn Poliakoff you are a delight and your passion is infectious.
Martyn! I have been watching your videos since school and now I'm studying a PhD in renewable materials - and one of the papers I'm reading features you as a lead author! So exciting, thanks for not only the videos but your life's chemistry work too :)
8:30 he met Winnie the Pooh!?
My 2 boys (lap dogs) watch the telly with me and whenever I watch you they stand up and wag there tails like when I give them a treat! I think you are their favorite!
you turned your children into lap dogs!?
Travis Ryno yeah and made them grow tails! See my vids
This man is such an amazing person.
The ammount of knowledge and experience this person possess is just utterly mind boggling!
Love the professor. This video was awesome. Stay safe professor. Hope to see more of you soon
As an undergraduate chemistry major who is graduating in a few weeks, I'm still scared of lab. Scared me straight into doing computational chemistry research, just submitted my thesis yay.
Professor looks much fresh, and healthy and vital!
This makes my heart warm and happy!
I love you and your passion Professor! Learned so much from you!
I was a head teacher for 25 years and taught all that time.
The prof is a hero and I used his videos in lots of science classes.
Learning made cool personified! Thanks professor.
I laughed at "They all argon."
I don’t know why professor seems doesn’t like this joke, but i found it quite a bit funny.
I am willing to learn math properly and do bachelors, Masters and PhD in Chemistry just to be able to meet the professor. Stay healthy, Sir!
Love the prof as host of the channel, now the lockdown is a little bit more sustainable with new vids from the prof ❤️
One of my fav periodic videos for sure
I'm a simple being: I see the prof, I see 'biscuits', I come running.
who _wouldnt_ be star struck meeting the prof?
I wouldn’t.
@@skakdosmer Great.
Always brings a smile to my face when the professor appears in my inbox. Stay safe u legend! ✌
Never get tired of watching these videos, hope everyone's keeping well.
What is going to happen to the professor without a regular haircut!?
His wife cuts his hair.
His skill will increase.
He has haircuts?
The chemistry complexity in maintaining that hairdo is incomprehensible.
I'm already hearing rumors of a Nottingham yeti...
That is exactly how i imagined how the Proff's study would look like! :D
thats his bathroom
Those were some brilliant questions!
Also, brilliant, and honest answers.
I could go on about the parallels of my young life as a preteen and teenage chemist, but I won't. That said, I once ran my family out of the house with a miscalculated experiment involving Ammonium hydroxide, which led my father to build me a little 10' X 10' building in our backyard, where I "accidentally" made nitroglycerin, and then didn't know what to do with it.
I still have the scars from that one...
This is one of the best videos you guys have posted.
Salute!!
Lovely to see you Professor, your study looks amazing, stay safe, sending love ❤
8:29 Funnily enough, Xi Jinping actually has a degree in organic chemistry, so you two would have a language in common
"He has no chemical joke. They all are Argon."
Stay well and take care, Professor Poliakoff and team. Best wishes for success now and always!!!
The professor is so laid back, but has an incredibly interesting and informative style in all his videos. Keep them coming sir.
Please tell the story of how you shook Xi Jinping's hand at what looks like the people congress.
Did Mr. Jinping have yellow fingers?
In modern times, the professor's dad would have dropped his phone in the toilet
Love that room proffessor! Glad to see you up and running !
Thank you Professor! Stay safe and looking forward to more videos on the other side of this!
Man that's a lot of books, I can't even read!
Then how did you write this
@@Bede.d Some people can read but not write and vice versa.
Professor's jazz hand game is strong
Another great video! Thanks for bringing chemistry to life on RUclips! Have you ever thought of doing a video on the chemistry behind a Storm Glass? I have one and, outside of being a curiosity, I don't think it can really predict storms!
It is lovely to see you professor!
