My first introduction to the science part of youtube was sexy, groovy, and full of doots and deets, and neon greens, sexy hosts, and hot n heavy facts about life that surrounds us, in the air, in the soils, and in the oceans, this introduction was bought to me by brilliant, just jokin’, it’s scishow who gave me this introduction to science!
Scishow is a youtube channel that focused on, well, the sciences, scishow is hosted by hank green, and many others, it is a channel that is more on biology, which is why I gravitated towards it the first time i saw it
It first started in 2012 as an originals channel, which meant that youtube funded it, scishow has also has a podcast.
It has multiple brothers, like scishow kids and scishow space, which aims to give the people the power of knowing…. Stuff, I guess, it also gives people access to new data from research centers and papers, experimental stuff, etc.
It managed to get a large increase in views and followers, and it surpassed 2 million subscribers in 2014
It was very catchy, and powerful, it made my brain expand, and learn new things like and the early ‘lives’ of our ancestors, and it also gave me the idea for the animal of the month last year, which, as you guys all know, is the valonia ventricosa
I remember spending afternoons eating the facts presented to me like it was food, I drank it like it was water, my head was exploding from the knowledge being pushed into my brain, it felt like a calm feeling rushed through my mind, it was so warm, it felt nice, clicking the thumbnails and watching a video felt like delved into a lab of fun, all of the facts were not complicated, they were graphical and easily absorbed into my brain, it felt like the things I learnt were stuck to the walls of my min, the videos had been laced with cocaine, and I just cant stop snorting it.
Scishow gave me the info, and molded me into what I am, it taught me everything I needed to know about space, animals, and more, it also taught me that really like nature studies
see you on the other side
