There are many students who wonder why they should know how to take a logarithm or know the periodic table of elements. Undoubtedly, these will be aspects that will form part of their day-to-day life if they decide to become engineers or chemists or biologists in the future. But this knowledge is also necessary for anyone who has the slightest interest in knowing what the world in which they live is like and how it works. As well as scientific and technological advances that are achieved at high speed. Therefore, improving the dissemination of science is essential. And, in this case, social networks are essential help.
Perhaps reading textbooks, which are often dense, is not the best option to encourage learning about these areas. A lighter and more attention-grabbing method is needed. That is why some YouTube channels dedicated to scientific dissemination are having such success. They provide a new way of explaining, with audiovisual and schematic content, more current and with which it is easy to connect with the viewer. These are some of the channels of scientific dissemination that are worth knowing.
Mathematics represents one of those subjects that most often brings headaches to students. For this reason, many would question that a YouTube channel dedicated entirely to this science could be fun. But that is exactly the case of Derivando, by Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón. Throughout his more than two hundred videos, he explains all kinds of concepts related to mathematical issues. In addition to explaining and analyzing problems of special interest. He even tells numerous curiosities about this science. All this in a very relaxed and light way.
A fundamental channel to learn about biomedicine and the human body, related to aspects of genetics, microbiology, metabolism or immunology. Some of the videos on the La Hiperactina channel explain how some viruses work, such as HIV, as well as the characteristics of cancer. Or what effects space has on the body.
One of the most popular science channels in Spanish on YouTube, with more than three million subscribers and almost three hundred videos. Nuclear fusions, Newton’s laws, subatomic particles and all kinds of scientific theories and personalities from this branch of knowledge, just some of the topics that can be found on this channel.
The videos on the CdeCiencia channel focus on geology and other related phenomena. There is talk about how monster waves are generated, plate tectonics, the interpretation of geological cuts or even what types of volcanic eruptions exist.
