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.

Smarter Every Day, Veritasium

I would classify those as pop science, preferring storytelling to science. A bit too handwavy.

That Veritasium video about electricity was absolute bullshit. For however many minutes long it was, he didn't once use the word "induction" or try to actually explain anything. The video was basically "electricity is voodoo". I immediately unsubscribed, and I can't even stand seeing his face anymore.

If your shitty science video spawns multiple video responses from your betters calling you out on your bullshit, you are a bad science YouTuber and should stop making videos.
