Ron Nyholm - Periodic Table of Videos

[mathtek1]

Even in a medal video, you still learn a whole lot of exciting stuff about chemistry.

[SYamooraSY]

i almost saw a tear there in the professors eye :(

[Liqtor]

You can almost mute the audio and only look at the body (hand) language and still get it.

[archaedemos]

Awesome channel! 

[jmomm]

Thank you for sharing about a great man of science that I have never heard of... Congratulations on receiving such a great honor!

[Cream147player]

So deserves it. Incredible chemist who can reach out to anyone.

[Leopoldo888]

Congratulations professor



[MadToastable]

your welkom and congrats

[ma356289]

Congratulations to Professor you deserved the prize i wish happiness and long life.

Congrats

[nathanwapple]

nice videos :)

p.s 200th comment!

[Bear5177]

Congratulations to Professor Poliakoff and the team. I feel that the award is well deserved and I will continue to watch the fascinating videos this group produces. Thank you.

[Eringuy13]

Just finished grade 12 chemistry, and i knew you were going to say VSEPR before you said it, made me feel good :)

[TheCrazyInventor]

You really deserve that price, Professor. It's people like you that make youtube (and the world) a better place by spreading all this knowledge. I'd like to thank you and your team for your contribution. :)

[johnclavis]

Congratulations, Professor Poliakoff -- it's a prize well-deserved! You and your wonderful colleagues teach in a classroom as big as the whole world!

[idiotjim]

A well deserved price...ive learned and/or relearned so much by these videos and 60 symbols....

[Sedated3]

No no, sir, thank you.

[JSniegowski100]

I love this guy!

[kongotech2]

If anyone, it belongs to you Martyn. You earned it

Congratulations!

[mvszao]

Hah, i can't believe he developed VESPR!

[quickknowledge]

I think in California high schools the vsepr theorem is called the shielding effect.

[TheProblemBox]

Thankyou for the information, and Congratulations! Well deserved.

[doggydidadoodoo]

vsepr?

[Sophix0mp]

Congratulations =]

[AlexSh789]

Martyn, I congratulate you on your prize. I truly enjoy all of Brady's videos and I'm glad I made a small contribution by viewing all these videos. These videos especially intrigue me because I work in the field of nuclear power, where chemistry plays an important and vital role in our everyday work. I give greetings to you from the United States Navy and I hope we will have strong ties forever with the Royal Australian Navy and the British Royal Navy.

[stogie0102]

I think it's great that your contribution to education has been recognized. Well done and congratulation.

[allforknowledge]

Many congratuations!! Though I am a layman, I find Chemistry "a fun and exciting place to be(style from Misterduncan)" from your series of teaching videos. No need for medal chocolates this timeXD

[jclarke987654321]

Brady,

I'd like to make a couple of suggestions. A video on the 'groups' of the periodic table and what they mean. Then, another video on either 'a really ignored element like hafnium, actinium, dysprosium or protactinium' or a video on 'why there are many ignored elements'.

Oh, and your videos are BEST!

[periodicvideos]

@bignudge we just put one on sixtysymbols

[biggavdemille]

congratulations nobody deserved it more ! thanks for all the wonderfull videos , keep up the great work !

[LuckyxTurtle]

his hair is awesome XD

[starked1]

Congratulations to the Professor and his team. I will definitely use your site for trying to make my students excited about chemistry. Keep up the tremendous work all of you. I hope to make a trip to Nottingham (like a pilgrimage) sometime in my life.

[periodicvideos]

@starked1 great - make sure you come and say hello

[JeanKM1]

Congratulations! Anyone who has watched this channel can see how you earned it! Glad to see it recognized.

[trewornan]

Congratulations Prof, well deserved

[kikizing]

Thank you professor for the great work you do with neophites like me.

I have a question. When you talk about molecular forms (triangle , square and whatever else) Is it like a science convention to build them like that? or is it build like that from microscopic observation? I always wondered who decided to put Thos molecules in that way when they are showing people. Thanks

[cristianfcao]

@bignudge Check /watch?v=quoySiCVFfw (From this week on SixtySymbols)

[thisisjustplainstupi]

I have a test Monday on the exact subject of bond angles and geometry.

And now I learn about the man who developed the explanation of it all.

Thank you periodic table of videos. You've been a great inspiration to me over the past year, and I know you will continue to do so for many videos to come.

[IstasPumaNevada]

Congratulations, Professor Poliakoff, on winning this award. I think it's fitting that someone who has put so much effort into teaching about chemistry, and increasing awareness/interest of it, should get an award for such given in honor of one of the people he looks up to.

Thank you for all the knowledge, experiences, and stories you've shared with us, including exposing us to people we might not otherwise know of.

[slpk]

Don't forget Brady!

[periodicvideos]

@slpk you can repay Brady by subscribing to his two new channels - numberphile and DeepSkyVideos

[CppTutorials01]

@periodicvideos Thanks so much, i say thank you to the whole team :)

[BrutalBaconz]

Im picking my GCSEs next week... You have contributed alot into making me interested in choosing chemistry. Thanks

[periodicvideos]

@BrutalBaconz great to hear!

[Starter61]

Congratulations for the Award, but also for this Excellent Video.

[Ciweman]

I will use Nyhlom name when I teach or talk about the VSEPR, this was very inspiring

[mokopa]

What an honour for the prize to have been awarded to prof Poliakoff!

[timmy332621]

Look he cleaned up his desktop!!

[periodicvideos]

@timmy332621 we've popped a little 40-second video about it on the nottinghamscience channel

[cristianfcao]

I'm glad a major chemistry prize is awarded to work in education and that Martyn won it! To reward discoveries is obviously great, but so is rewarding work in education and the popularization of science. I'm sure MANY young people not only learned some science thanks to these videos but also decided to start a career in science as a result. You (meaning all the team at the University of Nottingham making videos in PeriodicVideos, SixtySymbols, etc.) are making a great contribution to science!

[glenwoofit]

Well done in winning the prize you (And all at Periodic Videos) deserve it.

[dgfia]

love you prof..

[davek381]

we used a computer program (forgot what its called) where we could build a model of that VESPER model. congrats, and fascinating

[VMATT500C]

Thanks for the info.

[sooth15]

Wow, congratulations, Professor Martyn! Well deserved!

[vpacolis]

@periodicvideos Does the professor know he has a wiki? Also, could he possibly discuss his studies on supercritical fluids? I don't know what they are but they sound interesting.

[periodicvideos]

@jerricchong we watch the Nobel Prize online each year and film The Prof's reaction... It would be a pretty amazing video if he got a phone call from Stockholm while the tape was rolling! ;)

[BahoUtot]

Congratulations Prof.

[Lea71777]

The Professor is a very Humble man.

[twistedbass15]

Congrats !!

[andycapo123]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Prof

You are now a source of inspiration for everyone in chemistrty!!!

[maakjar]

You deserve it. Good job

[DazIOM1140]

Congratulations Professor! Keep up the good work!

[walkeran]

Many congrats, Prof. You are the best populariser of chemistry anywhere. Thank you, and Brady and the rest of the team, for everything you do.

[luckviewer777]

if the profesor die

we will remember him through his videos

[Eggywontgrow]

Don't get me wrong, I love the professor and everything about periodic video's. But PLEASE stop using those dog toys ...

And congratz on your reward :)

[Harrisam66]

Nearly went to Nottingham, did chemistry at Warwick instead. Unlucks

[pepsibookcat]

Congratulations, Professor!!!  <3 <3 <3

[TheFloydenstein]

i see someone cleaned up their desktop

[aden302000]

Congrats Professor from down under!

[WolfDOuka]

CONGRATS PROFESSOR! Also, You're Welcome :)

[SecularMentat]

I <3 VSEPR theory. Its complicated once you really get into it, but its still really a powerful and simple tool at a basic level.

[legallyawesome1]

Congrats professor on your award, you guys make chemistry so much more interesting for me.

[grndmstrjoe]

Who in the right mind would dislike this video?

[hedleypanama]

Thank you 4 sharing about this important chemist!

[MrDannyArcher]

if i die, i would want all people who knew me to remember me.

[GuppyPal]

Always love your videos. Good job. Congratulations on the award!

[djfoo000]

Interesting to know where the theory behind molecular shapes come from. I remember when I had to draw the molecule shapes in exams based on electron pairs. Fun times.

[svendavidsson]

You should thank your hair. It means a lot to me

[johnchj]

Prof you are great :-)

[oisiaa]

Brady, do you shoot interlaced video? I can always see the lines.

[HWGuyEG]

Haha! You got an award in education, this means you're obliged to make more entertaining and educational videos!

[zombieX111222333]

Australia day is also my birthday. I learned something non-scientific this time around.

[Nebulae8]

Go Professor! Keep it up!

[CubexDE]

You deserve it! Your videos are awesome and you're a great teacher. Keep up the good work!

[shadethedarkbringer]

Professor Poliakoff and everyone else at Periodic Videos does an amazing job at informing people about chemistry and maintaining, as well as constantly updating, the channel with new videos full of very useful information! I make sure I tune in EVERY time a new video comes out, because i learn something new in every video.

[DrWestofReanimation]

Congratulations, Professor Poliakoff. No, sir, thank you. 

[TheKrazykool809]

in case no one ever told you this professor

your badass

best teacher ive ever had!

[JuanLeTwnz]

The Wiggly Giggly always appears when you least expect it...

[nbachmann]

Bust out some mercury and amalgamate that shit.

[Ralphgtx280]

welcome viewer 304 , we've been expecting you

[MrCdaddypuff]

lol 404 likes with 303 views too good.

[Ammo1313]

Congradulations.

[culwin]

Fun fact:

Chuck Norris is composed entirely of commando molecules.

[lejink]

@culwin chuck norris does laundry and world of war craft commercials.. hes lost his edge.

[cristianfcao]

@culwin Not so fun fact:

Chuck Norris is a religious freak who believes in creationism and wants to impose praying in public schools.

[culwin]

@cristianfcao I know, but that really isn't funny. I try to keep it light.

[c4clive]

Martyn is the perfect iconic scientist, a great speaker, and a wonderful chemist. Combined with his colleagues in chemistry, they give a wonderful idea of what it is really like to be a chemist. The addition of Brady's camera work and layman-type questions makes this channel one of the best things on youtube. Frankly, you deserve awards like none other. Thank you guys.

[MrCwillies]

I just had a chemistry A level exam today and shapes of molecules (tetrahedral, octahedral etc.) were in it

[xlrv1]

Congratulations. Thanks for all the videos that have delighted me and informed everybody. And the medal is even more valuable with that typo.

[kubicam]

Good, now give this man a Knighthood. Oh, Brady too!

[greenleaflower8]

I really appreciate the videos. They have made me more interested in chemistry and taught me many useful things. You're a really good teacher professor. Thank you and congratulations to the prize! Love from sweden

[Nexus2Eden]

That is so cool Martyn - you deserve it better than anyone I know. It's a beautiful medal - you deserve to be proud of it. :)

[CountingDayz]

Congrats!

[daggerheart03]

I love this guy, he received an award but would rather talk about the wonderful man behind its origin. What a man :D well deserved!

[GamersBar]

@daggerheart03 when you have hair like that you dont need to brag about anything

[WolfDOuka]

@daggerheart03 The Professor is ever so humble :)

[docsharp00]

Thanks to you Martyn! loved to have a professor like you! but I had a physic professor a little like you, so now I'm a physicist!

[Draxis32]

Thank God England still praises for their educational heroes like you Professor.

May this medal be displayed proudly on your chest professor!

[Truthiness231]

Had you told us you didn't have an award for education, we would have petitioned. This is one of the greatest sources of chemistry tidbits on the web.

[InspectorBadass]

I wonder what chemistry keeps that hair up.

[nilbud]

@InspectorBadass Magnets.

[jfn1103]

@InspectorBadass Sulfer! 

[paranoidzuul]

Congratulations!

[letterpool]

FANTASTIC!

[Tarragonable]

Congratz! :D

[filstr2]

Congratulations Professor Poliakoff, You make chemistry fun and interesting, Not to mention that crazy hair do. thank.

[samanbandana]

awww so cute... congratulation!

[stevanoviets]

Wow... We got this part in class, naming the 3D shapes of molecules. I didn't think I would learn something that would be talked about here :O

[Gezab]

Professor, where can we get our own plush molecules?

[catfishmudflap]

It is we who should thank you for your periodic videos are both entertaining and informative. You inspire us. Congratulations on your medal.It is well deserved.

[flame123117]

He just needs a rubber duck molecule to finish the collection off :3

[BitaminaTek]

From watching this youtube-channel I regretted choosing computer science as my major.

[fugehdehyou]

RIP Ron, and congratulations professor.

[ShockRawTecTalk]

congratz

[shintsu01]

Congrats!

[TheKab112]

His work must be so much fun, he just has a bunch of toys he can pull off his desk.

[Muscleduck]

Congrats professor!

[jhonbus]

Congratulations Martyn, but most of all congratulations to you Brady. If anyone deserves this prize, you do, for starting off this whole family of amazing videos!

[MuadDib1402]

Congratulations. :)

There's a frustrated scientist that works in a dog-toy factory, isn't there?

[mbcx9ts2]

Wait what's happened to all the icons?

[whiterottenrabbit]

1:10 - 1:18

Не за что, Профессор! xD

[snoller]

Congratulations Professor!

[AsciaBipenne]

You are a great man. And you use Windows :D!

[nate22621]

RIP

[bemanos12345]

You deserve this award ! Gratz

[Squagnut]

Congratulations, Prof. A well-deserved award indeed.

And immeasurable plaudits to Brady. Happy Straya Day!

[sm0kingJay]

Now I know who Ron Nyholm was and how his life influences the education of others. Quite a nice thing to have a person live on like this.

[sm0kingJay]

High five indeed. I could never pull off such a flamboyant blue dicky bow too.

[mksudderth]

I felt as though I should clap after watching this.

[ameno21]

congrats

[JossJossJoss1]

We won! We actually won! I want to thank all our mums! And God! And our managers and stylists and...

[R0flc0pter1000]

That's great new Doc :D

Now let's get back to the future !

[rosebudpeabrain]

Congratulations on winning that prize!

[Atheistprimate]

Well earned, i learn something new from almost everyone of your videos.

[zing0a0ding]

Oh wow. I just had an exam about Ron Nyholm VSPER thing... WOW (:

[Jamster9000]

WHERE'S NEIL'S MEDAL?

[700]

there is nothing about Ron Nyholm on youtube except this vid :(

[YdeckW]

What a coincidence!!! I was just now studying the VSEPR model; and I read about Ronald Gillespie and Ronald Nyholm and I wasn't certain about the pronunciation - and here I have it - a whole video about him. You deserve every silver atom of that medal!!!

[youtubasoarus]

Also, a warm thank you! For continuing to provide me and the rest of the world such interesting and delightful content without which I don't think i'd know as much about chemistry as I do. It wasn't a particularly strong subject of mine in school but with your insights i've learned much!

[AnonymousKdub]

Very interesting story! its too bad you didnt meet him.

[youtubasoarus]

You truly deserve this recognition. Your enthusiasm and that of your colleagues is truly infectious! Ideas that are likely far flung from most minds, including my own, are brought to us in a manner we can sit with. Not only that, but we can learn because you and your colleagues present these ideas in an interesting way. Congratulations! And like someone of true integrity, you've pushed yourself out of the limelight and introduced us to someone else. You really are awesome Professor.

[Jimmy171194]

Congratulations professor, the prize is well deserved, youre awesome :D

(also, thanks to Brady for, y'know, doing whatever it is you do..... :P )

[nowiecoche]

Congratulations, Professor. Your videos do help make learning about chemistry much more entertaining and fun. Your knowledge is invaluable. Please do continue to share.

[ataraxic89]

AND THANK YOU Brady!! without whom many many many thousands of people around the world would not have access to these brilliant professors!!!

[nibrobb]

ahhh... The professor cleaned up his desktop :)

[periodicvideos]

@nibrobb short video about this just been posted to our "extras" channel... nottinghamscience
