2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $7608.77Goal: $10000

I just want to raise the bar of scientific literacy in the world! Because I'm rooting for humanity, as it were
—David Farina

David James Farina, more well known by his alias "Professor Dave", is an American science educator and YouTuber. He received his Bachelors Degree in Chemistry from Carleton College in 2005. After this, he taught biology, physics, and chemistry (specializing in organic chemistry) at levels ranging from high school to graduate. In 2011, he began to pursue his Masters studies in synthetic organic chemistry at Cal State Northridge, but withdrew 2 years later due to constraints with finances and lack of time. In January of 2015, he started "Professor Dave Explains", aiming to create educational videos for all subjects with a focus on making them succinct and with animation that aids in comprehension. He later received his MA in science education from Cal State after pursuing it in 2018, as the education would make higher quality educational YouTube videos.
