The Cynical Philosopher
I am educated as a biochemist, with a Masters in biochemistry, but my interests vary widely. I make videos about biochemistry, with my current series covering nutrition and human metabolism going in-depth into biochemical pathways, with a focus on reaction mechanisms, protein structures, and enzyme kinetics.
In addition to biochemistry videos, I will also periodically make videos about other interests I have, including philosophy, history, and music.
