Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by things that glow in the dark. I had a few glow toys that I really liked, but I either lost them or gave them away. I could've just bought some new ones, but I thought it would be a lot more fun to make my own from scratch.

Note: In my equation for ZnS + O2, please ignore my explanation below it. It doesn't make sense.

NileRed Capturing the natural beauty of chemistry I find that chemistry is often taught poorly or without a purpose. Because of this, people tend to lose interest and sometimes even start to hate it. In each video that I make, I try to balance theory with purpose. My goal is to capture the natural beauty of chemistry in fun and interesting ways. In terms of education, I have a BSc in Biochemistry, with a minor in pharmacology. However, I've always been a lot more drawn to applied chemistry. So after finishing my degree, I worked as a lab tech in an organic lab, and then as a chemistry grad student. However, I ended up leaving my graduate studies early to focus on this channel. Now, making chemistry videos has become my full-time job! Email: admin@nilered.ca
