i enjoy Dr. Becky's videos https://www.youtube.com/@DrBecky in which she (an Oxford astrophysicist) explains recent astrophysics research for non-expert audiences. (usually this means "debunking" pop science journalism about pre-prints, but not always.) are there video-makers out there like this, but for other academic areas? not just "here's science explained in an engaging way" but "here is what's currently happening in this scientific field in which i am a participant"?
@aparrish Dr. Becky is great.
https://www.youtube.com/@GutsickGibbon immediately comes to mind. She is PhD student in Biological Anthropology.
When I remember any others I will post them.
