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.

    kurzgesagt is a bit…controversial…when it comes to their “current affairs” content:

    for example: their climate science content is blatantly misleading in almost all videos.

    they push a kind of “tech optimism” at the cost of presenting practical solutions among other “solutions” that are just straight-up greenwashing bs.

    here’s a video that lays it all out, there’s a LOT to cover:

    that said, their “what if?” and futurology content is excellent!

    just have to stay skeptical about anything related to capitalism…including climate change and green tech.
