I saw a dude on his bike today with a 'fro that was enormous - and I mean like comedy enormous - I had to laugh.

I wonder if he's related to Stephen Poliakoff, the playwright.

Good presenter, interesting subject, camera work and editing quite infuriatingly horrible tho.

Somebody got paid for that. It's depressing.

Interesting, thanks for the share.

I'm sure I read somewhere that they're brothers - but don't quote me on that.

Those 'Periodic Table of Videos' started as an amateur project, which explains the lack of professional polish, and I think their popularity rather surprised the people making them. I rather enjoy them - they're a fun way of presenting some quite serious science. The quality of the content makes the lack of presentational glitz immaterial, for me.

I don't like glitz either.

I like cutaways, close-ups in focus and tidy editing. They don't cost money to get right.

And they ARE getting paid, by taxpayers and the students at Nottingham.

I do appreciate the sentiment, and I know Nottingham's Chemistry dept. is first rate, but "could do better" on that one.

If brothers, I like the brother's writing enormously. They seem to be a really interesting family.
