It’s not an overstatement to say that Emanuel Wallace, aka Big Manny, is a social media sensation. His videos of science experiments featuring fire and explosions frequently rack up hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of views, and he has two million followers on TikTok and almost as many on Instagram.
Ex-science technician Big Manny started posting videos during lockdown when he realised that students were really struggling with science, and weren’t familiar with the concepts they were supposed to know. Because of the lockdown, “they just weren't getting that practical experience,” he says. Enter Big Manny.
