My Favorite Science Media

I, like you, love watching shows based around science and cutting-edge experiments. For example, I absolutely adore documentaries (traditional ones or docuseries), trivia, social experiment shows, and much, much more. Here’s a few of my all-time favs!

🧬 100 Humans (Netflix) 🧬

Absolutely hilarious. 100 human beings were cast to go through different experiments and react to experiences ranging from torture to pretty privilege. It was so interesting to see how different types people, whether it be age groups, introverts/extroverts, or different sexes, responded to various questions or challenges the three scientists put them through. Every episode ultimately tested the things that make us, well, human.

🎲 Brain Games (Disney+) 🎲

This show allows you to experience a world of optical illusions, ultimately puts your brain to the test. I’ve loved learning how the brain affects our perspective and perception, as well as how our brain is wired to see things in ways in which they’re not. To this day, this is my go-to TV show, whether I’m bored on a summer day or just want to learn about why our minds can be both our enemy and greatest tool in navigating this challenging world. Deep, I know.

🧠 Huberman Lab (Apple Podcasts) 🧠

I’ll admit, I definitely have to catch up on a few episodes. But from the ones I’ve tuned into I’ve been in love ever since. Dr. Huberman, a Stanford neuro professor along with many other impressive credentials, goes in depth about various connections between our brains and our how we both view and experience life. He talks about topics ranging from sleep deprivation, to OCD, to even music. Definitely give it a listen if you have a spare 2 or so hours in your day, or even while you do the dishes. It’s so worth it!

🧫 ASAP Science (YouTube) 🧫

Such a classic. Mitch and Greg use whiteboard drawings to explain different science phenomenons, whether it’s the chicken vs. egg debate, or how your brain can play tricks on you from time to time. Oh, and you can’t forget about the AMAZING bops they’ve produced (100 digits of Pi song, Elements of the Periodic Table, Science Wars (BIO FOR THE WIN!!)). If you haven’t already, please check them out. I promise you’ll learn a whole lot in just a few minutes of scrolling through their channel!

🌿 National Geographic (Website, YouTube, Disney+) 🌿

Timeless. You can’t ever go wrong with National Geographic; they’ve got cool magazines, fun fact and world record books, action-packed documentaries, and endless science info. It’s made up a huge chunk of my childhood and still excites me today!

Soooo, that’s my list of the awesome science media that has never failed me. I hope you’re at least intrigued by some of them and take the time to explore them on your own. If not, it’s possible that I’ll update this list as I come across some more that pique my interest.

Be sure to stay tuned for more science content from my blog!! ‘Till next time 🙂
