When I was growing up, we had discovery channel. That sparked my intrinsic curiousity. My daughter has that intrinsic motivation as well, but only for k-pop now. She likes youtube videos and she likes when I tell her about science stuff. Maybe I can combine that by recommending her some good youtube channels.

Since I didn't see many creators who are women, here are a few recommendations:

The Space Gal (Emily Calandrelli)

Huge if True (Cleo Abram)

Up and Atom (Jade Tan-Holmes)

Emily the Engineer (content can be pretty rough - profanity and simulated danger)

Simone Giertz

    Sometimes, I think science educators aren't political enough.

    Cleo Abram's interviews with Nvidia's CEO, Zuck and Sam Altman are her only interviews to date, and they all paint them in a good light without being critical of their work. I get wanting to make it to the top, but simping for the capitalist elite is just not a good look in my book, especially when science communication should try to minimize bias.

    I also remember her video about John Deere last year, giving the impression the company is only doing so much good in the world...
