Hello, I’m Dave Farina. I have a BA in chemistry and an MA in science education. I work as a science communicator, best known for my YouTube channel “Professor Dave Explains”. Being that my job involves interfacing with the public, I am fascinated by the way the public perceives science, which is strongly influenced by films and other media. I also am quite the science fiction fan myself, so I’m very excited to teach this class, dissecting science as portrayed in film!
