Foreign Secretary - Periodic Table of Videos

[BrettMiller33]

I love it, he still wants to continue teaching. More and more professors care less about teaching and more about their research now it seems, there are less and less true mentors left

[trefod]

I'm with Feynman on this one.

[TheDigitalStone]

Congratulations Professor :)

[IstasPumaNevada]

Congratulations on your election, Professor! From what one can learn of a person from Youtube videos, I definitely think you are deserving of your position within the Royal Society.

Well done.

(and yes, I know I'm a bit late, but I found this channel just last month :)

[sm0kingJay]

I've very happy to see the Prof's hair has remained consistently awesome all through those pictures.

[lucky5lolo]

congratulation :)

[delightfullyshit]

Like to Dislike Ratio is 1036 :: 1

That must be some sort of record?

[zombierobopirate]

@delightfullyshit nope

[jaydominic]

congrats prof!!!! :D

[jfrortigao]

Congrats Prof Poliakoff, and thanks for popularizing chemistry is such a wonderful way. 

[jeremiahswee]

LOL the one at 3:16 is the best

[soberek]

Great way to become a superstar. You're a superstar but You're not bothered on the streets like a rockstar. Congratulations!

[DrSaxxy]

Whew, glad to hear this won't negatively affect the periodic table of videos, but congratulations of the position professor!! :)

[flutist218]

Congratulations! Very happy for you! Keep up the good work, but don't overdo it!



[travis71m]

Excellent, Well Deserved and Congratulations. You've changed the lives of so many people, I'm sure that your new found position will give more people the chance and enthusiasm to pursue unknown and known dreams

[Zdawg2324]

who was the artist who painted (i think) the last portrait at 3:13? It was brilliant!

[Zdawg2324]

I'm glad to hear that you will continue to film these wonderous videos while traveling abroad. Congratulations.

[metabog]

Congrats, a life well lived and dedicated.

[Blinkwing]

king charle's II. hair is not as awesome as the professor's one!

GZ PROFESSOR!

[Think0n]

Fantastic!!!



[evil1698]

Congratulations to Professor Poliakoff from Canada.

I believe you will fulfil your role and be one of the best foreign secretaries of the Royal Society yet!

[gifted04eva]

2:50 is priceless!! :)

[Fullmetalminos]

Oak+Einstein=this one

[deathrib]

Thumbs up if you think Professor Martyn Poliakoff is nothing less than awesome!

[LsBaba]

Congratulations to Prof P, and all involved at Nottingham Uni.

[nickmt]

Well done Professor, I can't think of a more suitable man to get the position of Foreign Secretary for the Royal Society. Congratulations and wishing you all the best once you get this role.

[imalwayswatchingu00]

How old is the Professor?

I've always wondered...

CONGRATULATIONS!

[soundofgeek]

Congratulations - thoroughly deserved, I say, and a very intelligent choice by the Royal Society.

[MTheoryGuy]

Well deserved, congratulations professor.

[mastigoz]

i love professor poliakoff's hair

[dljones33]

@mastigoz Yeah, they need to do a video on the professor's hair! What is the chemical composition of hair?

[soundofgeek]

@dljones33 Mostly keratin, a protein. The interesting aspects of hair are more to do with physics than chemistry, but the Periodic Videos have been branching out and this would be pretty cool.

[commanderkruge]

I know this is utterly silly, but this makes me proud to be a subscriber. :D

Happhapp-Hussah!

[phoeniximperator]

Congratulations!

[saemj]

Congratulations Martyn !

[CyberDruidtheModGod]

Congratulations Sir

[docatomics]

...martyn is the one most likely to establish a long overdue sense of reality to the whole lot of them & would be my choice if I believe in collectives outside of independence !

~go prof.poiakaoff, go !

= challenges ahead will require you all step outside your specializations, while running much deeper into there distinct fields in a way of amalgamation.

[ElveeKaye]

What an incredible honor, and a great responsibility, to be in a position of being able to educate millions all over the world. Congratulations, Professor!

[01001011001001]

Sooo cool! Congrats Professor.

[cruiseplatoon]

Three bottles of vodka on his desk..LMAO Really? This is what passes for intellectuals today? Nice image for the academic community! The royals should be proud..

[smeghead666]

@cruiseplatoon Hope you're joking :) they're all bottles of vodka from various chemists I believe...

[cruiseplatoon]

@smeghead666 LMAO!

[joeylawn36111]

congrats to Professor P

But those drawings of the professor are just plain Bad. Sorry....

[TheTVLicence]

"I'm the only candidate"

That's real democracy for you!

[TheAdrenalineJunky]

Congrats! Thanks for the videos too !

[s0nnyburnett]

"A truly international fellowship" all the countries he listed are former British colonies. I see the spirit of cooperation died out a long time ago.

[cjpendleton1993]

@s0nnyburnett It the royal society you moron, of course thats the case. learn some facts before you write supid comments its not an international society

[s0nnyburnett]

@cjpendleton1993

>"It the royal"

>"It the"

Way to go slugger.

[pipsproductions15]

Huray for the Professor!

[instantamazon]

[maatu1]

i never knew the professors real name, so his last name is poliakoff and hes going to be the foreign secretary of the royal society. dang.

[mdma4life]

Grats prof, thats a prestigious position, and you deserve it for actually inciting generally non-hateful comments on youtube loL (nah more likely because of your work :P)

[AdmiralBud]

lol @ the loner who disliked!!!

[Lunarsight]

@AdmiralBud: I'm betting the one dislike vote is the guy planning to run against him the election.. (You figure every scientist has their arch-nemesis.)

[johnclavis]

Congratulations, Professor Poliakoff and everyone at the University of Nottingham for this great honor. The Royal Society deserves its reputation as a legendary alliance of scientific minds, and it is taking on another great force for science and science education! Cheers!

[unnies]

Congratulations from Japan!

[managarm1349]

880 science nerds on youtube

A large honour, well deserved, congratulations.

Major Kudos for the, as ever, excellent Periodic videos.

If elected, I am sure Prof. Poliakoff will be a fine ambassador for science.

[lhtd]

Yeah !!! Periodic Videos is still on !! <3

Congratulations Professor, f or you and your team :-)

[SkewScrew]

Congratulations from Estonia!

[MrErovb]

[Zantaer]

It makes sense that you're the only candidate for foreign secretary BECAUSE of the online videos. Am I on the right track there?

[ijunkie]

It really suits you professor. Well done.

[xspxmcrxfftlx]

CONGRATS PROFESSOR

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!

[MoonBurgle]

Hooray! Congrats Prof.

[Deathdome9]

Congratulations Professor!

[skilllol101]

yay :D

[Flargenyargen]

Huge congratulations are in order!! That sounds like a very exciting position.

[neutrotoxin]

It is just impossible not to like this man. Would he be your grandfather, your neighbour, always willing to get into details considering anything that would come up in a stairwell talk, the thoughtful man at the second hand bookshop or the Prof on youtube, still you would instantly fall in love encountering him. Congratulations Professor and dont forget the videos!

[electronicballast]

Well done Professor!

[Memyselfandme]

Big congrats! Maybe a good opportunity to see some exciting chemistry from outside the UK?

[pepsibookcat]

Wishing all possible good things for the Professor! Congratulations!

[carn157]

grats and well deserved

Congratulations from Germany :-)

[wyvernlord23]

Congrats from Barbados

[dcohenmartoy]

Congratulations from Uruguay !

[wilfred8686]

Congratulations! I have to admit, I was a bit fearful that we wouldn't see you anymore on these videos. I'm glad that you'll be able to continue educating your viewers and sharing your passion for teaching and discovery.

[xhotshot12]

Congrats 

[MrWadlo]

Congratulations! I would not object!

[metadaptation]

congratulations from Canada! Hopefully you'll visit some day, i'd love to hear you speak!

[CarlosWever]

Congrats to Martyn, from a little country in the caribbean (Aruba)..and chemist to chemist, don't know if it can get better

[Telliria]

Nullius In Verba = "Take nobody's word for it"

[danceinthadark]

WOO! Now come to Australia haha!

[NomadandtheSun]

Congratulations to Professor Poliakoff!

[chnaveedjawaid]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

[TadRaunch]

Who would object to the professor?!

[Intervene]

Congrats!

[yoshinibble123]

Congratulations!

[hareboosch]

Congratulations, Professor Poliakoff. The post of Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society is fortunate to be receiving your gift for instilling in others an enthusiasm for science.

[Paxmax]

Way cool Poliakoff! I just saw a show about how Newton got his 'Principia' together with the help of other scientists around the Royal Society like Hooke, Wren and Halley.

[jeebersjumpincryst]

PS - thanks for staying with us at Periodic - my heart missed a beat near the end of this, but all good again :)

[jeebersjumpincryst]

Yes, congratulations Professor P!

You are the best man for the job, and I know thousands and thousands of youtubers would say the same. No objections here! :D

[Glassjaw003]

Congratulations Professor! You will be great!

[jdunk2145]

I couldn't possibly think of a better candidate.

[FortOrdDirt]

priceless at 2:49

[fugehdehyou]

@FortOrdDirt Hahaha the grin of victory and success, havent felt that in a while.

[AntiProtonBoy]

Nice one! Keep up the good work!

[2naruto1]

yes

[DreamPharaoh]

Hopefully the professor has some time and influence at changing our MF measuring system here in the US to the common sensical metric system. I mean really... this is a stupid problem to have.

[CoyoteBuddy]

This is recognition of greatness!

[bl4ck0p]

Good for you Martyn!

[muhammadyousuf1]

very nice!!!!

[MADNEXXION]

[jacmcm100]

[immy7866]

@jacmcm100 don't worry. natural selection will take its course

[schermozzel]

Excellent, I'm sure you'll do an excellent job. I love the science videos from the uni [both these and the physics ones] and I'm glad to hear you'll continue being in at least some of them. I'm very happy for you, congratulations! I'm having a celebratory cup of tea for you :o)

[fredochs]

Congratulations!! It's a well-deserved honor.

[coolliger]

[PintSizedSlasherJr]

The one dislike was from a person who couldn't get the professor's Nobel Prize Award winning haircut.

[gadogado123]

Congratulations Prof.!! Well deserved!!!

[punkapie95]

Congratulations, Professor!! That's so great!

P.S. My stomach just made a weird noise.

[DV5230US]

Congratulations Professor!

[Bobajobimus]

Couldn't be more apt for the position. Good on you professor.

[MagaCarey]

Congratulations, Professor!

[CHAS1422]

Brilliant mate! Simply brilliant.

My favorite part of the video is the clip of Martyn catching some zzz's on the plane!

[misterwobblehead]

I love the Prof. I credit him for my ever growin interest in science.

[Greenteabook]

Silly traditions, you deserve the position Professor!

[rushianokun]

Congratulations on your achievement, Dr. Poliakoff!

[culwin]

[MicrosoftWindowsGuy]

Professor, I wish you all the success in the world, something I know you can achieve. Of course, as if you haven't enjoyed a huge amount of success already! Thank you for all that you do.

[GetMeThere1]

I'm curious to know, however, whether the Royal society has a squad of "00#" agents, each with license to kill, which you, as the Foreign Secretary, may send on daring missions to exotic locales...??
