Science communication is totally our jam, and getting to talk about how we do what we do is always great! Thanks to everyone who sat in on our session during the #AAASmtg last week.

Thrilled to see so many #AAASmtg attendees at Sharing Science Stories session by @scishow.bsky.social You Tube creators (8M subscribers).

#UICAHS' Leah Lebowicz was interviewed for a recent episode of @scishow.bsky.social that explores the history, scientific significance and ethical complexities of the Pernkopf Atlas. The episode also showcases artwork by second-year #UICBVIS student Melinda Thompson.

You can still sign up for a Rocks Box subscription and get February's rock (shungite)! But if your collection is missing any of these gems, minerals, or fossils you can order them at scishow.rocks!

Complexly is excited to share that we are now a 501c3 nonprofit, built on the idea that good information is worth it. New structure. Same mission. Bigger impact. Find out how you can support free, independent, trustworthy education at Complexly.org

The latest Deep Dive is now available. Due to its sensitive nature we've decided to forego the premiere, so you can freely skip the more graphic details if you choose. Watch it at youtu.be/4VJfFZo1mPM?...

Tomorrow we are unpacking the history behind a compendium of medical science that is so controversial it's been at the core of a moral debate for decades.⁠ ⁠ Join us at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET for the live premiere, or tune in after if you want to skip the sensitive details.

Danielle Bainbridge is hosting the next Deep Dive. We'll be unpacking an important and disturbing part of science history Thursday, Jan 29th at youtube.com/scishow.⁠ ⁠ Warning: this Deep Dive will cover difficult topics and contain sensitive images. ⁠

That's a wrap on Field Trips! We had such a great time showing you around. ⁠ ⁠ Special thanks to @brandeisuniversity.bsky.social, @broadinstitute.org, and @bostonchildrens.bsky.social with @sofishtication.bsky.social & @tangledbankhhmi.bsky.social

The final stop on our Field Trips Tour is Dr. Beth Stevens’s lab at Boston Children’s Hospital. Fun fact: the Stevens Lab is bigger than some entire university departments, and is spread across Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard, and MIT! youtu.be/ZVt3t5zmvT8?...

When Hannah Yevick learned that the placenta contained a cell whose surface spanned 13 square meters, the biophysicist was fascinated. For this episode of @scishow.bsky.social Field Trips, we traveled to Yevick's lab to learn about the largest cell in the human body. youtube.com/watch?v=RuN5HxSew7w

For the next stop of our Field Trips tour, we’re camping out under a tent made from the biggest cell in the human body! (metaphorically, of course). youtu.be/RuN5HxSew7w?... with @sofishtication.bsky.social @tangledbankhhmi.bsky.social

First stop on our Field Trip tour is Dr. Feng Zhang's lab at the Broad Institute. You may already be familiar with Dr. Zhang’s work if you’ve ever heard of CRISPR… but how do you follow up a hit like that? That’s a story big enough to tell in person. youtu.be/_UimlaolxiA?...

Introducing: SciShow Field Trips! A brand-new series created by Complexly in partnership with @tangledbankhhmi.bsky.social. All week, we're taking you OUT of the studio and INTO real working labs around Boston. Hosted by @sofishtication.bsky.social, at youtube.com/scishow

For the first time in a long time, we were able to expand our SciShow Rocks Box Subscriptions! So, if you’re not signed up yet, but you really want an enhydro agate— and every rock that comes along after— sign up at complexly.info/Rocks2026.

If you're missing us, don't panic! We are taking a break from uploads this week. We'll be back to regular uploads starting January 12th.

Besides being fun, what benefits have you gained from playing #roleplaying games? @scishow.bsky.social talks about it and #NightWitchesRPG gets an early shout out! #TTRPGs #larp #gaming

TiL one of my favourite folks from @scishow.bsky.social has their own channel.

If you love SciShow, get a handmade shirt! It was designed by host, producer, model, and talented artist Savannah! complexly.store

New @scishow.bsky.social episode I worked on! They actually pitched to ME to write an episode about quantum random number generators using Dungeons and Dragons as a framing device. I think it's fair to say I was the right person for the job. Check it out, it came out well! youtu.be/gLDHs3195u4?...

The Science Riff Off is starting now in our Learner Zone Discord! Go to complexlylearnathon.com to join!

This Saturday (November 15), tune into youtube.com/scishow to hang with some of the SciShow team (+1 person from the Crash Course team) while they ESCAPE THE LAB in a live Learn-a-thon event!

Our SciShow-branded TTRPG dice set is available right now at complexlylearnathon.com, and every purchase supports the Learn-a-thon! ⁠ ⁠ (That means if you buy some dice, you'll get access to our supporter-exclusive Discord to participate in even more Learn-a-thon fun) Good information is worth it!

We are counting the seconds until we get to spend some time with y'all during the 2026 Learn-a-thon! Please join us Saturday, November 15th, for a Complexly team TTRPG on the SciShow channel, and Thursday, November 20th, for a science riff off in our donor-exclusive Discord "The Learner Zone!"

@scishow.bsky.social just did a YT show on #Ozempic and here is the paper that outlines the mechanism behind all those great benefits he names. From Metabolism to Microvasculature: Pericytes-the Architect of GLP-1 Benefits www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Good new from @hankgreen.bsky.social and @scishow.bsky.social youtu.be/MedC_v-dEbY?...

One of our writers, Emma Dauster, was interviewed for The Scientist! Check out the article here: www.the-scientist.com/sparking-cur... Congratulations Emma!

Sometimes part of learning how the world works is learning what doesn't work. ⁠ ⁠ Thanks to Isaac Newton and alchemists everywhere, we know a little more about how the world works and we're celebrating that with our Alchemy t-shirt! Grab yours at complexly.store!

The extra long SciShow Deep Dive I got to host is live in ONE HOUR!!! I’ll be in the chat for the premiere, so come say hi!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlUZ...

The next Deep Dive premieres on October 17th, hosted by @tomlumperson.bsky.social!! Here's a sneak preview of the animations.

New from me at @scishow.bsky.social! In news stories, why do quantum computers look like a 'steampunk chandelier'? Well, turns out: that's not the computer! (But that's all just setup for my rant at the end about how so much quantum tech is way over-hyped 👀👀👀) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhou...

Madelyn’s solo-hosting debut is up on the SciShow channel now! youtu.be/7BeB_8Z1P28?...

this is actually one of the hubble images of all time

If you can't touch grass today, watch this video about grass from @scishow.bsky.social. Definitely the coolest grass story I've heard in a long time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFXd...

I'm not sure what it says about me that I could immediately recognise the Park Grass experiment from just the thumbnail of this @scishow.bsky.social video! youtu.be/bFXd7EIXiiA?... #LongTermExperiment #Agriculture #Ecology #Nitrogen #Science #Evolution @ect-uk.bsky.social @rothamsted.bsky.social

I always wanted to believe in Blue Zones, or unique parts of the world where there is thought to be a higher rate of centenarians and super centenarians. I had an opportunity to read a ton and write about them in this episode of @scishow.bsky.social 🤓 youtu.be/0AD78KulqHw?...

The new episode I wrote for @scishow.bsky.social just came out! It's about #viruses, the kind that lie dormant inside us, and what happens to those viruses when we go to #space.

15 home runs is a LOT of home runs. Even for the Yankees! Find out how they made it happen in the full episode. youtu.be/Ne1sRw95ZQI

if you give the crew a camera...

Hank! I love @scishow.bsky.social and supported it when I could. Maybe it’s just me as an aspiring astrophysics nerd, but I yelled “What the f*ck!” at the screen at a very specific point in the video. That a neutrino could run into something so primordial is wild.

New @scishow.bsky.social This was a really fun one. We wrote about the real science behind an ancient tome said to hold alchemical secrets... And just what does Shannon entropy have to do with it? youtu.be/K0wVcFXNXLw?...

Moon rocks deserve to be protected, and that only happens when people (like you) care! Show you care with a MRPS shirt available now at complexly.store/products/moo...

I guess NASA technically has a good reason, but we're still pouting about it. youtu.be/B-yFC4n6nfA?...

Let's get deep! With @hankgreen.bsky.social youtu.be/B-yFC4n6nfA?...
