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.
