Scientifically sound YouTube channels (lemmynsfw.com)

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'll second 3blue1brown.

Scott Manley is, of course, mainly interested in rockets, but does cover sciencey things too (I believe he's a former professional astronomer).

I like Cleo Abram's "optimistic science" shorts.

Love Scott Manley!

After looking up Cleo Abram I remembered I watched a video where she was hanging out with a paleontologist and that I enjoyed how geeked out she was to find some fossils :) I’ll check out those shorts! Shorts are nice with the kids too. They’re still a bit younger but are curious so that may be the perfect length.
