SciShow is a series of science-related videos on YouTube. The program is hosted by Hank Green of the VlogBrothers.SciShow was launched as an original channel.
Though Green hosts the majority of episodes, the show has two alternate hosts; Michael Aranda has been with the show since its inception, and Olivia Gordon of the Missoula Insectarium joined in June 2016. Prior to her move to Chicago, Emily Graslie of The Brain Scoop, also occasionally hosted on the channel. There were also a few guest appearances by Lindsey Doe, the who hosts Sexplanations, another channel launched by Green. SciShow has grown since its 2012 launch; since then it has employed a full editorial, production, and operations staff.
SciShow Space has three rotating hosts: Hank Green, Reid Reimers, and Caitlin Hofmeister.
SciShow Kids is primarily hosted by Jessi Knudsen Castañeda.
SciShow Psych is co-hosted by Hank Green and Brit Garner.
The channel was launched as an "original channel", which meant that YouTube funded the channel. The show's initial grant was projected to expire in 2014, and in response, on September 12, 2013 SciShow joined the viewer-funding site Subbable, created in part by Green.
In 2014, the channel landed a national advertisement deal with YouTube. The educational program was featured on platforms such as billboards and television commercials, as a result. Green details that the advertisements had a positive effect on SciShow, stating, "My Twitter exploded, our followers and subscribers exploded."
Several different scientific fields are covered by SciShow, including chemistry, physics, biology, zoology, entomology, botany, meteorology, astronomy, medicine, psychology, anthropology, and computer science. The videos on SciShow have a vast variety of different topics, such as nutrition, and "science superlatives". As of February 2016, SciShow has released 820 videos.
