Beauty gurus, comedians and gamers make up a big part of the YouTube community and are often the first genres that come to mind when you think of the platform. However, there is a growing number of science-focused YouTubers, nicknamed "sciTubers," that are creating some pretty amazing content. Here are five of them that I highly recommend!

"Draw Curiosity," hosted by University of Oxford PhD student Inés Dawson, is a channel that covers a wide variety of science topics from human psychology to insect biology. Dawson incorporates clear facts with fun animations and images that make her videos both highly educational and fun to watch. Check out the fascinating episode above about insect mimicry to get a taste of what the channel offers.

Tom Scott's channel has a bit of everything, from computer science to natural science. Scott is deeply interested in the ways things work and why things are the way they are and he illustrates that in his fun, on-location videos. Check out the video above where Scott discusses the history of the Bluetooth logo.

If you are a nature lover, you will love "The Brain Scoop." Host Emily Graslie, Chief Curiosity Correspondent at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History, offers enthusiastic content covering everything from nature conservation to behind-the-scene looks at some of the Field Museum's awesome collections. The video above is one of my favorites, where Graslie sits down with expert Dr. Matthew McDowell to discuss the interesting properties and importance of owl vomit.

Derek Muller's "Veritasium" is a science and engineering channel. Muller does experiments, interviews science experts and often reports on location from cool places such as Chernobyl, the site of one of the biggest nuclear disasters in history, and Svalbard, the northernmost settlement on Earth, to name a couple. Above is a fascinating video where Muller explains how laser hair removal works and includes some pretty awesome up-close footage of the process.

"ASAPScience" is an awesome channel featuring short, animated clips highlighting interesting topics in various science fields such as human psychology, biology and food science. The fun production of these videos, produced by Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown, make this channel ideal for both adults and children alike. Check out the video above, where they discuss the way a smoker's body changes when they stop smoking, to get a taste of how great "ASAPScience" is!
