Alfred001 Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 What are some good youtube channels that deal with science?I'm looking for either science news or explanations of things in science or discussions. I don't want sort of trivia type explanations like "why does a pan show rainbow colors after washing."

I was just about to link my "String's Pulled-Out-Of-My-Arse-and Evidence-Free Lectures On Things you Didn't Want to Know But I Think You Should" channel. Edited July 19, 2016 by StringJunky 3
EdEarl Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 There are many, includng SciShow and Phisics Girl for a variety of quick explanations. At the other end of the spectrum, many universities have recorded lectures by professors, for example Leonard Susskind of Stanford. For science news, a site like Phys.org or another is good. You can check youtube once you have a subject you want to investigate; though, there is not a formula for research, except be persistent.
swansont Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Physics Girl, Veritasium, MinutePhysics, SmarterEveryDay, The Slow Mo Guys, It's Okay To Be Smart. First time poster, long time lurker. 1
DrmDoc Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 All of the above plus DNews, AsapScience, and Mental Floss; however, none of these channels are adequate substitutes for your independent investigation and study of all the available peer-reviewed evidence and published research covering your topic of interest.

I like this. Also Bite Sized Psyche is a one of my top 3 science channels. Nice compressed psychological studies and observations summarized nicely.
DrmDoc Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Add another one. I just discovered Animalogic, very entertaining. Never heard of the Mane Wolf until today.

IvanTheTerrible Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 [Link removed] This is my channel on science, but I'm just starting out so please support me if you can and interested in subjects that I discuss. thank you in advance

SchrodingerBohrEinstein Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Channels like, "It's Okay To Be Smart" and "Physics Girl" are usually humorous and hard to take seriously. I would not recommend them if you want a serious lecture. Channels like Fermilab and Veritasium are good for more complicated lectures and in-depth explanations of concepts rather than quick overviews of them. Other than that, I am looking for interesting channels that go into depth myself. If you have any suggestions, please reply to this comment with your favorite science channels.
Curious layman Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Maybe better to put a link to spec savers instead! On 12/12/2018 at 6:00 PM, CharonY said: !

We will just disappear the post Not sure if I still count as new but- Asteron x ( a bit far fetched though I think! ) Curious Droid John Michael Godier PBS space time/eons Web of stories-life stories of remarkable people ( Gell-Mann, Teller, Dyson), I find the history of science just as important and fascinating. and about a million more, I found my favourite ones by accident.
Curious layman Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Some more.... how the universe works (live docs) Khan academy/Medicine (educational) International Center for Theoretical Sciences (lectures) World Science festival (debates, lectures, videos- the brain, robotics, everything really) Numberphile (numbers) Ones above are abit for the layman, these are a lot more informative.
Moontanman Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 One of my favs which hasn't been mentioned is Isaac Arthur. 1
MigL Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Don't watch many. But of those I have watched, the PBS Digital Series stand out. They are 'professional' in production as well as content, and not as 'dry' as a lecture. They manage to keep my interest even on topics I'm sufficiently familiar with. 1
nae Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 Free science lessons! They are pretty short too, he simplifies it so well. Though he speaks very monotone to mostly get the point across
qidran Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 There's many science contents out there, its best we spend sometime in it.
Tombster2000 Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Ninja nerd science is absolutely incredible for biology content

Col Not Colin Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone. A new YT science video creator is ScienceClic. Original videos are in French but they are re-releasing most of them in English. They tend to specialise in Relativity, especially General Relativity. Positive Comments: It's new, rapid, conveys some good ideas, uses some new animation techniques and it isn't afraid to change some well established concepts if it helps understanding. Actually, changing these concepts is a bold step that may be a way forward in the pedagogy. Neutral Comments: It doesn't follow historical development but instead seeks to present the finished article that is modern GR efficiently. Negative Comments: It isn't afraid to change some well established concepts and makes no mention of this. There is a noteable lack of rigour constructing Christoffel symbols and the geodesic equations with some thoroughly shameful exploitations that could leave you screaming. The pedagogy for GR may be improved but at what cost? Overall: 8 / 10. Edited February 2, 2021 by Col Not Colin Spelling
