Hi, I'm Dom πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”¬

After completing my PhD in chemistry, I became fascinated by all things science and history, and I'm here to share some of those fascinating things with you!

My new video will be with you within the next few days! πŸŽ₯

If you're a patron, the early-access, ad-free video is live over there right now! www.patreon.com/Chemistorian

This is a story that I've wanted to tell for a while, so I'm really excited to post it for you all to check out. Once it's up on YouTube, I'll get straight to work on my next video, which is something a bit different, that shouldn't take too long to edit, so it'll hopefully be with you within a few short weeks.

Update time!

I've got my next two videos planned out, and my latest script is coming along very well. If all goes to plan, it should be ready by late August/early September 🀞

Following that, I'll get straight to work on the following video, which hopefully shouldn't take too long either. I'm really excited about both videos and I can't wait to share them with you all. Thanks as always for your patience.

Who's ready for a new video? πŸŽ₯

I'm roughly 75% of the way through the edit and I'm so excited to share it with you. I genuinely think that this video is my best work so far. It's taken a long time do all the research, planning, editing, and to co-ordinate all the moving pieces, but I really think all you Chemistorians are going to like it.

If all goes to plan, it should be with you in the next week or so 🀞

Thanks for all your patience over the last few months. If you're looking for some new Chemistorian content in the meantime, for those in the POTASSIUM tier and above on my Patreon (patreon.com/Chemistorian), there are now 3 exclusive Chemistorian shorts live right now, with more coming every month.

I really appreciate all your incredible support. You guys are the best. See you in the next video!

πŸ§ͺ Welcome to the Chemistorian Community! βš—οΈ

Hey Chemistorians! πŸ‘‹

Exciting news - community posts are now live on this channel! That means YOU can post here too (using the YouTube app).

This space is all about curious minds coming together to chat science, history, and all the wonderfully weird corners of chemistry that I explore in my videos.

Here’s how you can get involved:
πŸ”¬ Share cool facts or historical tidbits you’ve discovered
πŸ“š Ask questions or suggest topics you'd love to see in future videos
🧠 Start a discussion with other Chemistorians
🎞️ Share your thoughts on the latest video (or your favorite from the archives!)

Let’s keep things thoughtful, respectful, and full of curiosity - just like the community we’ve built so far πŸ’™

So go ahead - introduce yourself, drop an idea, or tell us the most fascinating thing you've learned from a Chemistorian video. I’ll be reading!

Happy 200th birthday to benzene! πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‚

A couple of years ago, I made a video all about its history. This video is a particularly special one for me, because it was the very first video I ever posted on the history of chemistry! The channel has come a long way since then, but this video was the birth of Chemistorian. This is where it all began.

I'm currently working on the edit for my next video, which should be with you in the next few weeks!

Chemistorians, we are three quarters of the way to 100k! I really appreciate all of your support. You guys are the best.

Just to update you with my next video, I've now finished the script and will be recording and editing over the next few weeks. I'm really excited to share it with you. I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be my favourite story so far.

In the meantime, if you're looking for more Chemistorian content, my Patreon (patreon.com/Chemistorian) now has two exclusive short videos up (for the POTASSIUM tier and above), and there'll be more coming on the 1st of every month.

Thanks again for all your support, and I'll see you in the next video!

This is crazy. I've just passed 5 MILLION views across all of my videos! 🀯🀯🀯

Thank you so much to every single one of you. You guys are incredible.

I know I've been radio silent for the last few weeks. I've been deep into the research for my next video. It's going to be a BIG one. I'm excited to share it with you. I hope you're excited too!

We've just passed 70k Chemistorians! πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you to everyone who's subscribed, watched, shared, or supported the channel in any way. 70k subscribers is absolutely amazing. That’s a LOT of curious minds exploring the history of chemistry together. We're 70% of the way to that fabled 'verified tick'! β˜‘οΈ

I'm also excited to let you know that my first ever Patreon-exclusive short is now live for members in the POTASSIUM tier and above. I’ll be releasing a new Patreon short on the first of every month, so if you’re interested in a bit of extra Chemistorian content (and want to support the channel even further), I’d love to have you over there.

Of course, nothing changes on the main channel. I’ll continue putting out the long-form videos you know and love. Patreon is just a way to help the channel grow and keep things sustainable, and I truly appreciate every bit of support.

Thanks again for being part of this. I'll see you in the next one!
