I'm always excited when I see a glimpse of my professional life in the "mainstream" media. X-ray diffraction is ubiquitous in the world of manufacturing and research, but the data we generate doesn't have much meaning to the public in general.
Ben Krasnow produces some of the best science content on YouTube and has been doing so for many years now. There's nothing elementary about the experiments he undertakes, but somehow everything is brought together in a way that seems approachable, perhaps even encouraging. He's covered a range of topics so broad that it defies definition, but my favorite is definitely the high-speed x-ray videography project.
Somehow he's managed to get a Dectris Pilatus detector into his lab and proceed to use it in a very "off-label" application.
