AsapScience
AsapScience, stylized as AsapSCIENCE, is a YouTube channel created by Canadian YouTubers Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown. The channel produces a range of videos that touch on various concepts related to science and technology.
AsapScience is one of the largest educational channels on YouTube. The channel was created in May 2012 and had acquired more than 7 million subscribers by March 2018, and 10 million by 2025. In addition to videos explaining scientific news and research, the channel produces songs, several of which have achieved viral fame and also created controversy.
Moffit and Brown are an openly gay couple who met while studying biology at the University of Guelph. They made their relationship public online in 2014, two years after starting their channel, in response to derogatory comments and in order to be visible role models for young gay people interested in science.
Moffit and Brown have been praised for prompting meaningful dialogue about LGBTQ+ issues.
AsapScience videos are about science, with many episodes, such as How Much Sleep Do You Actually Need?, discussing functions of the human body. They have produced songs about scientific concepts, such as Science Love Song, Periodic Table Song, and 100 Digits of Pi. Each video's scientific concepts are conveyed using coloured drawings on a whiteboard and voice-over narration in a stop motion format. As revealed in a behind-the-scenes video, Moffit voices and composes the background music for the videos, while Brown is the primary illustrator.
The most viewed video of the channel as of September 2024 is Do You Hear "Yanny" or "Laurel"?, which has 66 million views. Their videos have been featured in websites such as The Huffington Post and Gizmodo. In March 2015, Moffit and Brown released their first book, AsapSCIENCE: Answers to the World's Weirdest Questions, Most Persistent Rumors, and Unexplained Phenomena.
In 2018, Brown and Moffit started hosting a podcast titled Sidenote to accompany the channel.
AsapScience has collaborated with Jake Roper, known on YouTube as Vsauce3, in four videos: The Scientific Secret of Strength and Muscle Growth, What if Superman Punched You?, Can We Genetically Improve Intelligence? and Can You Genetically Enhance Yourself?. Another video, Could We Stop An Asteroid?, features Bill Nye, who discusses different ways humanity could stop an asteroid if one were on a collision course for Earth.
