I heard the public demonstrations on the properties of nitrous oxide
were especially popular

Yes, she is very entertaining and each episode ends with a bit of a lead into another. Very addictive.

She is an example for us all. She has fun explaining clearly how
something came about.
She has a beautiful mind, and a charming personality.

She looks right at the camera and it makes her 'gaze' look weird.
She is also a little ugly actually.
But yeah, great stuff.
I love how they made chains and shocked folks en masse.
I shocked folks at a Jr. high school science fair with my "Lie
Detecor". That was circa 1973-1974. Would not get away with that
nowadays. Makes me wish I had juiced it up more now.
** The historical background she researches and presents is often quite fascinating.
Kathy turns famous names seen in physics text books into *real* people.
Mostly from an era ( 17 and 18 hundreds) when a few with money and spare time did wacky electrical experiments for fun and notoriety.
They either did public demonstrations OR published their results for others to emulate and theorise about.
Thereby establishing the "scientific method" as THE way to go forward.
