Greetings all!

There are a few YouTube channels I watch on a regular basis that I’d put in the science/math bin. Here are a few examples:

NileRed Standup Maths Steve Mould AlphaPhoenix

I was wondering if anyone here had any recommendations for other science/math channels to follow or a resource that aggregates good channels. As a lay person, as in no college level education on these topics, I’m not sure I have the qualifications to determine if a channel is highly accurate or not. I think I’ve done a good job finding channels that are accurate but wanted to check in with folks that may be able to better determine that.

I’m particularly interested in astronomy, cosmology, and evolution.

    I left YouTube a long time ago for a couple reasons. But besides the content creators you mentioned, I also used to follow:

    • ElectroBOOM: Mehdi talks about electrical engineer in a practical, humorous way. He has a segment called “Rectifiy” where he debunks internet videos, particularly these fake “Free energy” internet videos.
    • The Action Lab: didactic experimentations with physics.
    • Computerphille: interviews with teachers and specialist from several scientific and engineering fields, especially IT-related fields.
    • 3Blue1Brown (IIRC): mathematician.
    • Tom Scott, back when he produced videos: I guess everyone knows about him.
    • Technology Connections: often focuses on household appliances (refrigerators, air conditioners, dishwashers, lamps, etc) but also explains applied scientific knowledge and also photography.

    If I remember other content creators, I’ll update my comment. It has been a long time since I abandoned YouTube.
