I love Alton Brown’s work. He is one of my top three all time favorite science info sources — Neil Degrasse Tyson, Bill Nye (full disclosure — college classmate of mine and he was just as interesting then) and Alton Brown. Very different realms of science but all present technical data is lovely bite size morsels.
Have copies of multiples of his Good Eats cookbooks. But now he has gone and done something really cool — a PSA YouTube video on the science of hand washing. I have to admit he explains stuff I have never seen before. This actually made me understand why and how hand washing works (didn’t realize plain old soap was as good as anti-bacterial for example).
Enjoy and stay healthy:
