SciShow Tangents
SciShow Tangents is the lightly competitive knowledge showcase from the geniuses behind the YouTube series SciShow. Every other Tuesday, join Hank Green, Ceri Riley, and Sam Schultz as they try to one-up and amaze each other with weird and funny scientific research... while not getting distracted. There will be tangents about video games, music, weird smells, surprisingly deep insights about life, and of course, poop, but it always comes back to the science.
Episodes
To infinity, butt facts, and beyond! It's not a shock that we here at Tangents love space. This wide-ranging set of episodes takes us all over our seasons - and all throughout our universe - as we learn about the wonders of space both near and very, very, very far.
