These channels feature individuals with great personality and educational content that anyone, if they put in the effort, can come to understand. I’ve recently gotten into a physics phase so I’ve been watching these channels a lot.

Tibees
This channel is run by a wonderful and intelligent woman named Tibees. She posts videos on physics, maths, astronomy, and the history of science. Personally, she is my favourite STEM youtube channel. I love her smile, her calming demeanour, and her soft, relaxing voice. I especially enjoy her videos on top scientists’ grades, hard exams and her passionate explanations of Maths.

Andrew Dotson
Andrew makes a lot of educational and funny physics-related videos. He is a grad student at New Mexico State University who is currently doing research in theoretical nuclear physics. I love his enthusiasm and ability to relate with other STEM individuals well. I hope to see more physics-related content from him.

Zach Star
Zach is an electrical engineer graduate from California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo. He is mostly known for creating educational content, primarily on engineering physics and maths. He uploads vids on puzzles, theories, paradoxes, guides, and comedic sketches on school life. I personally like his videos on the types of engineers and what they do.

Simon Clark
“Simon Clark is a videomaker and science communicator from Bristol, UK, currently based near London. He finished his PhD in theoretical atmospheric physics at the University of Exeter. Prior to this, he studied physics at St Peter’s College, University of Oxford, obtaining his master’s degree and specialising in theoretical and atmospheric physics.” — Simon Clark Biography
This guy is definitely highly skilled at his speciality and has an immense devotion to refining his knowledge. I first came to know of Simon Clark when his popular video on the best physics books to read to get into physics got recommended by Youtube. I believe his recommendations were very good and after that, I just spent time occasionally watching his entertaining vlogs.

Sciencephile the AI
This dude is the funniest science-related channel in this whole list. His use of a robotic voice when describing science concepts and topics and his jokes and comedic delivery heighten his videos’ entertainment level. He makes science related content very fun to listen to.

Veritasium
Derek Muller(owner of Veritasium) has a Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Physics from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario and has a PhD in physics education research from the University of Sydney. The focus of Veritasium is “addressing counter-intuitive concepts in science, usually beginning by discussing ideas with members of the public”. He often posts interviews, science experiments, dramatisations, songs, and interviews with the public to uncover misconceptions about science.

DoS — Domain of Science
This channel is made and hosted by Dominic Walliman who is a PhD experimental quantum physicist and author. His mapping and organization videos on topics like computer science, maths, and physics are quite pleasing to watch. Walliman has also made a few videos connecting biology and pop culture with physics.

Tom Rocks Maths
Tom is a Mathematician at the University of Oxford where he holds the position of Early Career Teaching and Outreach Fellow at St Edmund Hall. Tom completed his PhD in applied maths at the University of Cambridge in 2016 and before that, spent four years studying maths at the University of Oxford. His eagerness to discuss and teach maths can be felt through the screen you watch him from; he invites you to a world of numbers and complicated stuff you can barely understand. I believe he’s the most captivating mathematician on Youtube.

Lectures by Walter Lewin. They will make you ♥ Physics
Mr Lewin is a Dutch astrophysicist and former professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Lewin earned his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1965 at the Delft University of Technology. His lectures are very action-packed and filled with dramatic flair. His passion, just like mathematician Tom, is overpowering which makes his presentations much more interesting.

engineerguy
William S. Hammack is an American chemical engineer and Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. Not much is revealed about the courses(aside from chemical engineering) William took but his qualifications in his STEM course/courses are known to be a B.S from Michigan Technological University, an M.S from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and a PhD from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Overall, I like watching his explanation videos on everyday machines like the coffee maker and I especially appreciate his explanation of the drinking bird because it helped with a school assignment.
