Three Lectures on Plastics
On polymer science & social justice.
Happy Sunday!
There are a lot more of you ever since I shouted out this newsletter over on TikTok! Welcome!! I normally post longer essays on science, politics, and culture every week, with every other piece being a paid post.
This is the week I would normally make a free post, but I’m currently on vacation with my biofamily. If you’re just joining us, why not check out one of my many previous posts? If you like them a lot and want to support my work, consider getting a subscription for as low as $5/month or $50/year! It really helps me out and it all goes to making better content for you all.
Also, for the past few weeks I’ve been hard at work making content for my summer class! This involves making six banger long-form video essays all about polymer science and social justice. It’s my most ambitious project to date and I’m really proud of what I’ve made so far. The first three are available for the public to see, and in place of my usual ranting, I’m sharing them below. Consider this your substitute for essays this summer, and consider subscribing to my new YouTube channel for other content (like my upcoming DJ sets!)
Lecture 1: An Introduction To Polymers
Lecture 2: Extrusion, Single-Use Plastics, & Eco-Ableism
Lecture 3: Compression Molding, Life Cycle Assessment, & Our Obligations
Happy Learning!!
