Channel: Healthcare Triage Host: Dr. Aaron Carroll Date: January 19, 2014 Length: 7:56 YouTube video description: There is almost no topic in health and health policy that immediately polarizes people more than the idea that vaccines cause autism. Even though the original big paper on this topic came out at the end of the last century, the anger this causes is still raw and potent. But there is a very, very large amount of research showing that vaccines and autism are unrelated. Please, watch the video before you jump down my throat.

Channel: Healthcare Triage Host: Dr. Aaron Carroll Date: August 4, 2014 Length: 4:35 YouTube video description: In the last few years the rates of vaccine preventable illness have been on the rise. This isn't just something that’s happening in the United States – it’s happening throughout the world. Often, these outbreaks begin with unvaccinated people. They spread through them, too. Outbreaks occur because of a breakdown in herd immunity. That’s the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage.

Channel: SciShow Host: Michael Aranda Date: March 10, 2014 Length: 3:20 YouTube video description: Michael Aranda walks you through the crime-fighting science of forensic entomology, the study of insects used in criminal investigations. As if you needed more reasons to love bugs. But be warned: You might not want to watch this during lunch.

Channel: CrashCourse Host: John Green Date: January 26, 2012 Length: 11:10 YouTube video description: In which John Green investigates the dawn of human civilization.

Channel: TED-Ed Host: Joshua M. Sneiderman Date: August 29, 2013 Length: 3:44 YouTube video description: The Earth is 4.6 billion years old -- but how can humans relate to a number so colossal, and where do we fit on the geologic timeline? Comparing the Earth's lifetime to one calendar year, events like the extinction of dinosaurs and Columbus setting sail took place relatively recently. Joshua M. Sneideman reminds us of our time and place in the universe.

Channel: scishow Host: Caitlin Hofmeister Date: October 17, 2014 Length: 2:48 YouTube video description: People ask Google everything under the sun. One of the most commonly searched questions in the world is “How old is Earth?” SciShow has the answer!

Channel: CrashCourse Host: Hank Green Date: April 22, 2013 Length: 11:12  YouTube video description: All the magic that we know is in the transfer of electrons. Reduction (gaining electrons) and oxidation (the loss of electrons) combine to form Redox chemistry, which contains the majority of chemical reactions. As electrons jump from atom to atom, they carry energy with them, and that transfer of energy is what makes all life on earth possible. 

Channel: CrashCourse Host: Hank Green Date: September 9, 2013 Length: 11:22 YouTube video description: In this episode, Hank goes over Reversible Reactions, the water dissociation constant, what pH and pOH actually mean, Acids, Bases, and Neutral Substances as well as the not-so-terrifying Logarithms, strong acids, weak acids, and how to calculate pH and pOH. Oh, and litmus paper!

YouTube playlist description: This playlist, derived from the Crash Course Chemistry series, addresses chemical equilibrium. 

Channel: CrashCourse Host: Hank Green Date: September 24, 2013 Length: 9:56 YouTube video description: Have you ever been to a Demolition Derby? Then you have an idea of how molecular collisions happen. In this episode, Hank talks about collisions between molecules and atoms, activation energy, writing rate laws, equilibrium expressions, reactions mechanics, and rate-determining steps. And funnel cakes are AWESOME!

Channel: CrashCourse Host: Hank Green Date: November 25, 2013 Length: 11:31 YouTube video description: In which Hank introduces us to the world of Organic Chemistry and, more specifically, the power of hydrocarbon.
