The winner of season eight of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, Bob the Drag Queen – sometimes known as Caldwell Tidicue – is out there keeping us safe from science misinformation.

He recently shared a video with his almost three million followers on TikTok, correcting another TikToker’s scientific misconception in such a clear and entertaining way that we had to share it.
