A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Posts like this make me think about who will be the David Attenborough, Bill Nye, Martyn Poliakoff etc of tomorrow, and how do we lift them up without politicization?
The next generation of learning celebrities are already here. I don't think they will be the same as those in the past though. Video sites allow far more niche versions of these great educators who don't need to work on getting TV contracts to spread their enthusiasm for their subjects. I doubt future generations will have singular celebrity educators, but a wide array of them that all get to add their own creative touch to learning.
I'm very excited about it.
Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown) for example will change future generations' relationship with learning math. We haven't have a celebrity math educator before!
My first thought is Lindsay Nikole
She’s surely among the best—that we know of!
