If there isn’t a curated “Awesome Educational Channels” list, this should be the beginning of it.

I would love a monthly “Where cool things are” post on here. Kind of like the Who’s Hiring post, but simply for listing channels, blogs, people etc. No specific works that would be better served by a regular post, but a comment with [name] and [what they do].
