Dr. Adam Wilson

It is a pleasure to finally be here. My students have been begging me to get on social media, but I have to be cautious with my indulgences. You see, I have treatment resistant ADHD and I could explain more but that would inevitably turn into at least a dozen tangents. Is this bio too long? It probably is. Oops. Anyway, where was I? Oh, yes, I’m here to have fun and share my love of science with the world.

“I just learned today that my students and even some students who aren’t in my class but know of me…”

“They call me the fun doctor.” 😎

“I wonder if they have nicknames for the other teachers.”

“Check out Dr. Wilson’s awesome classroom in this illustration from Physics Fiasco Part 4!”

“Those posters were very time consuming!”

“Also, check out the clock. It took me a while to learn what time it was in there.”

“His room really showcases his personality!”

[alvinmichaelmurphyseville]

“SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK ALBUM ART IS SKETCHED! CHECK US OUT!”

“I totally nailed the placement of the logo, right? That took me 3 tries! I am so hyped to share this album when it’s finished!”

“and now…for the DETAILS!”

“I’m wearing the cape as a reference to Zero, My Hero. Britt’s spoiled rich girl outfit is a reference to Dollars and Sense. Theo’s boy scout vest with badges is for Unpack Your Adjectives. Ellie’s stars and stripes are just for American History Rock as a whole but they’ll be minty green. Simon’s apple is just because academic flare lol. Jeanette’s sun necklace is for Solar Power To The People and her recycling shirt is for the 3 Rs.”

“Special thanks to Dr. Wilson for inspiring this whole schoolhouse rock album idea.” 💡

[dradamwilsonrules]

“I’m knee deep in making a playlist of physics-related songs and, aside from the three Hank Green ones, I’m adding Dark Matter by Pearl Jam and SuperPosition by Young The Giant.”

“Pearl Jam is one of my favorite groups.”

“I can’t recall the first time I heard them, but I know it was some time during my teen years.”

Would you like me to upload some bonus content from The Tale Of Two Teachers in the form of a script of what Dr. Wilson’s ride home with the Chipmunks and Officer Dangus was like?

I had an idea for it, but the story’s already finished.

[chipmunkweirdo]

Here it is as promised! The drive home from The Tale Of Two Teachers!

OFFICER DANGUS: Hold up. Hold up. Let me get this straight. Ya tied yer car keys to a dang kite? That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard in my life! And I’ve heard a heck of a lotta crazy stuff.

DR. WILSON: I was going for authenticity. Benjamin Franklin style.

ALVIN 2.0: Aside from being very risky business, it really WAS kinda awesome! I wish I got to enjoy the moment more instead of freaking out at ya.

DR. WILSON: You and Brittany really rose to the occasion. I’m glad you were able to talk sense into me.

THEODORE: ME TOO! I was so scared you’d get struck by lightning! I’m really happy you’re okay! Getting struck by lightning is NOT FUN!

OFFICER DANGUS: Why’s he sayin’ that like he knows from experience?

SIMON: Because he does.

OFFICER DANGUS: What!?

THEODORE: It’s true! I got struck by lightning and then I thought I was gonna turn into an evil supervillain like Dr. Zap.

DR. WILSON: Oh dear.

OFFICER DANGUS: Wait just a cotton pickin’ minute. If ya got struck, where’s your scars? Don’t people usually get scars?

THEODORE: Uhhhh…I dunno.

SIMON: Mutant chipmunks are fairly resistant to scarring.

ALVIN 2.0: And yet, my freckle zit scars remain.

OFFICER DANGUS: I learn something new about you kids every day.

DR. WILSON: So, Officer Dangus, is it? I hear you’re basically a father now. Did you foresee this life changing development?

OFFICER DANGUS: Well, err, I kinda…I expected it a little. I’ve dreamed about Dave Seville for years. I knew these young’ns were part of the deal. They’re real good kids, the lot of ‘em. I’m livin’ my best life. They helped me gain the confidence to tell Dave how I felt….and the rest is history.

DR. WILSON & ALVIN: History. Our worst subject. (Laughing together)

SIMON: Truly a monumental change for the better.

DR. WILSON: It is quite an exceptional story.

THEODORE: This family is the best!

OFFICER DANGUS: Hey, Adam, you’re pretty much part of the family too...the way Alvin never stops jibber jabberin’ ‘bout ya.

DR. WILSON: Aw shucks. Really?

SIMON: One of the most influential people in his life.

ALVIN 2.0: You’re the first grown-up I’ve ever been able to call my friend!

DR. WILSON: This is…..my goodness….I don’t know what to say.

THEODORE: It’s okay. Take your time.

DR. WILSON: This is monumental. I, I’m not sure if you know this, but I don’t have very many friends.

OFFICER DANGUS: Well, now ya do. And I can be a friend too! (Teasing) Since ya finally paid all those parking tickets ya’ve been rackin’ up.

DR. WILSON: (embarrassed) Heh heh.

ALVIN 2.0: Of course, you’re probably gonna get another one since ya had to leave your car at school overnight, but…uh…maybe they don’t ticket ya for that!

DR. WILSON: (facepalm)

OFFICER DANGUS: Okey dokey! Here’s your stop. I got the address right….I think.

SIMON: No. This is 645 Cedar Lane. Dr. Wilson lives at 654 Birch Drive.

OFFICER DANGUS: Aw fudge nuggets! Cedar, Birch, they’re both trees! I got confused.

ALVIN 2.0: If ya let me drive, I can take us there! I know a shortcut.

OFFICER DANGUS: Uh uh little man.

ALVIN 2.0: (shrugs) It was worth a shot. You know, that time ya let me play with your walkie-talkie was fun and all, but I have always wanted to drive a cop car! I don’t think it would be that out of line for you to let somebody who is pretty much your son take it for a teensy weensy spin!

DR. WILSON: (trying not to laugh)

OFFICER DANGUS: Don’t make me yell at you like Dave does. Do you want that?

ALVIN 2.0: (shakes his head side to side)

OFFICER DANGUS: No. Nobody wants that.

THEODORE: I just wanna get home. I’m ready to make dinner…and eat dinner. (Stomach growling)

OFFICER DANGUS: Aw shoot! Was I supposed to make a left turn or a right at that intersection?

SIMON: Left. You know what? I’ll be your GPS.

DR. WILSON: What a splendid idea.

ALVIN 2.0: (narrating) And so, with Simon’s incredible memory, Dangus finally succeeded in droppin’ Dr. Wilson off at his house. Then, we “high tailed it home for some home-style cookin’.” as Dangus would say.

“The latest book that Alvin’s been obsessing over. It does have some very interesting factoids in it, I’ll give it that.”

“The title is giving me a chuckle.”

[dradamwilsonrules]

“I came across this while searching for inspiration for my power point slides and I would like to share the hilarity with my fellow science enthusiasts.”

“I am still laughing at this and I should be in bed right now, but I can’t stop laughing.” 🤣

[dradamwilsonrules]

“Working out some new power point slides for my students…”

“Is this background color too neon? I can’t tell because I don’t get overwhelmed by bright colors, but I know some people do.”

[dradamwilsonrules]

“Owl City has a veritable smorgasbord of tunes to tantalize your ears, but there’s one that will always stand out as my favorite.”

“A little fun fact you might not know about me. I got my first job while I was still in high school.”

“I worked part time at a grocery store, so this song reminds me of my late childhood and early adulthood.”

“You’re going to laugh when I tell you the title…”

“It’s Adam, Check Please.”

[dradamwilsonrules]

“One of the most well known concepts in physics is “what goes up must come down.”

“This is true for many things. Tossing a ball in the air, mood swings,…Brittany’s little dance with cryptocurrency. People around school are still talking about that. Give Brittany a break. Anyway…”

“The universe is always trying to stay in balance. Though it does not always succeed. So the next time you fall and pick yourself back up again be sure to thank physics.”

“Does this make any sense? It’s late and I am basically half asleep.”

“I might delete this in the morning.”

[dradamwilsonrules]

“I should tell you about the time that Miss. Smith and I tried to do each other’s jobs. That was an amusing bet.” 😅

“Of course, I was up for the challenge. However, I hadn’t the foggiest idea how to teach history or literature.” 😂

“It was a very interesting week to say the least.” 😉

Might I add:

[dradamwilsonrules]

“Physics fact of the day!”

Most of ordinary matter is empty space. If all the space in our atoms were removed, the entire human race could fit into one volume of a sugar cube. 🧁🧊

[dradamwilsonrules]

“No greater feeling in the universe than testing the new box of fidget toys for the class. They just arrived today!”🫟

“I feel like next week will be EXCEPTIONAL!”🤓

“I can’t wait to show the class what I have planned. It’s a chemistry demonstration guaranteed to blow them away! (Though not literally. I do not intend to cause any damage to the students or the school.)” 🧪

“Also, I have figured out a new ADHD hack. If you can’t do something while sitting down, it’s usually okay to stand up. I recently got a stand to elevate my iPad so I can answer emails while moving my body more.” 🤩

“It’s flu and cold season, so this is a reminder to PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS!”

“And don’t sneeze on other people! That’s not cool! I don’t want to name names. You know who you are.”

“We must all work together to keep germs in their place and prevent another school-wide influenza outbreak.”

[dradamwilsonrules]

“It’s kind of sad that Alvin was extremely suspicious of me when he first entered my class. That he was so unaccustomed to having a teacher who enjoyed expanding young minds, he thought I was an extraterrestrial.” 👽

“No, that’s not KIND of sad. That’s VERY sad. He was scared of me because I SMILED. Had no teacher ever smiled at him before?” 😭

“I believe in school rules. After all, rules prevent absolute anarchy. However, when those rules become so rigid that they stunt creativity and impair a student’s ability to learn and apply what they learn…that’s where I draw the line.” 😣

“Forgive my awkward 9pm ramblings. I’m also not exactly sure what I’m allowed to say on here. I think the school might be tracking my posts. I probably shouldn’t have posted this.” 😱

“But I stand by what I said.” 👍🏼

“Please don’t fire me if you see this post. I still have a parking ticket to pay off.” 😨
