Your Favorite YouTube Channels Might Not Survive This (Patreon)

Hi folks,

The video we’re making this week is a bit of a departure from our usual fare, since it’s about the state of federally funded science research in the US - and the weird and unexpected impact it’s having on science YouTubers like us.

Because we want our videos to be useful for years into the future, we often avoid talking about the news of the day. But in this case, we decided we needed to say something, because a freeze in US government funding would have a hugely negative and potentially irreversible impact on both basic science research and science communication.

You’ll notice we end the video with a few calls to action - including asking folks to support their favorite science communicators on Patreon. Hey - that’s you all! It’s really really lovely that you value what we do so much that you support us with your hard-earned dollars. We appreciate it these days more than ever.

Thanks!
