Welcome to SciShow!

The world is marvelous and weird, and SciShow is here to explain it. Whether it’s earthquakes in Italy, meteors in Russia, or why some people’s pee doesn’t smell like asparagus, SciShow explores the surprising and exciting realities of our universe. From what science is uncovering daily, to introducing completely new ideas and information, to explaining what we’ve known for ages, SciShow strives to accurately convey it all!

With equal parts skepticism and enthusiasm, hosts Hank Green, Michael Aranda, Olivia Gordon, and Stefan Chin dig into the topics that make us wonder. A weekly news show unpacks recent—and frequently weird—scientific research. Short and long-form videos dive into specific topics in science and the history of human discovery. Twice a month, Hank learns from a scientist in the field on SciShow Talk Show, or gets schooled by Michael Aranda and a special guest on SciShow Quiz Show, winning prizes for loyal SciShow viewers. And every week, our shortest video, Quick Question, answers a question inspired or asked directly by a SciShow viewer.

Conceived of and created by Hank Green, SciShow launched in 2012 as part of YouTube Original Channel Initiative. It’s since grown to launch three other channels: SciShow Space, SciShow Psych, and SciShow Kids.
