Please don't link to scishow. They produce trash, and often don't do due diligence with their videos.

That's a shame, I like their presenters. Are there any interesting science-related YouTube channels that you can recommend?

I like a lot of PBS's content. Like physics girl, and what the physics. Engineer Guy also produces good content. MinutePhysics is also a good choice. As for math related topics, I love 3Blue1Brown.
In general I find science journalism lacking.
My biggest problem with SciShow is that it's a bunch of people who lack a true science background commenting on topics. I really don't think that they do their due diligence in reporting, there's been cases where they present incorrect findings, and hype up the physically impossible.

Cool, thanks for the recommendations. I gravitated to SciShow because was produced by Hank Green, who's other YouTube offerings I really enjoy. I guess it's a lesson to be more critical with my sources, regardless of the author's previous work.
