Thank you so much for the feedback. I thought I’d explain the basics of PCR in part 1, then do an rtPCR follow up for a part 2, that shows how adding fluorescent probes allows for real time readouts.

Thank you, I initially thought about animating the directionality, but since this is PCR not DNA replication, and I knew I did not intend to cover directionality in the script, I actually thought that showing it on the animation would’ve been unhelpful. But yes! Important concept to teach in future

I see what you are saying here.

I was not using “learning styles” to refer to theories about learning, but literally to those styles/ways/modes that people learn… those individual preferences you refer to.

Thanks for the clarification, I might of said ways of receiving information.

Thank you for this brilliant set of replies.

Yes, this is very close to what I took YouTube-y to mean. Great adjective.

I agree, I’m disheartened by the people who could be reached by a less accusatory critique.

Thank you. This is another concern, “how and when do we give constructive criticism?” And “are public call outs ever useful/acceptable?”.

If I understand your adjective use there “YouTube-y” 🙏🏽, the second video Dave makes is a lot more of what you likely didn’t enjoy in the first.

Personalising our writing puts science into the context of everyday life, as you said, and also brings scientists as a group, closer to publics we engage in.

Thank you.

2 videos were produced by Professor Dave and 1 by Sabine. Both of Dave’s directly call out Sabine. Sabine’s video was framed as a reply but did not call out the channel by name.

Dave 1. youtu.be/70vYj1KPyT4?...

Sabine 2. youtu.be/HQVF0Yu7X24?...

Dave again 3. youtu.be/6P_tceoHUH4?...

Did you see Professor Dave and Sabine Hossenfelder’s exchange?

Absolutely! Congratulations on securing the project it sounds like a great opportunity.

The donuts tutorials are the best, the newest version 4 release is really comprehensive too

When you get started you, if you ever need a hand or resources I’m happy to help 😊

This is great to hear! You might be aware of the steepness of the learning curve, but there is a wealth of online material to support your learning, and a very welcoming community.

Thank you for the encouragement!

Best wishes with your project.

This has given me the idea to 3D print these and use them in face to face demonstrations! Thank you

Thank you so much for resharing this. 🙏🏽

I hope you have a great time 🙌🏽

Thank you! 🙏🏽

Thank you

Feedback would be great
