I’m enjoying Quanta Magazine video content so much. Which other science media groups/content creators do you follow? YouTube-wise; others I can think of 3Blue1Brown, Kurgeszat, Numberphile & ComputerPhile come to mind

finished Fei Fei Li’s “The Worlds I See” https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/144405196 Loved how she chose to write about both her personal and professional lives, making for a richer portrait and depth of story. I related to many things written, including the need for institutions like Stanford HAI
