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.[1]

AsapScience is one of the largest educational channels on YouTube. The channel was created in May of 2012 and had acquired more than 7 million subscribers by March 2018.[2][3] This following had increased to 9 million by 2020. In addition to videos explaining scientific news and research, the channel produces songs, several of which have achieved viral fame and also created controversy.[4][5]

Moffit and Brown have been praised for prompting meaningful dialog about LGBTQ+ issues.[6]

Team

  • Mitchell "Mitch" Moffit, born (1988-03-27) March 27, 1988 (age 36), creator and host
  • Gregory "Greg" Brown, born (1988-09-25) September 25, 1988 (age 36), creator and host

Moffit and Brown are an openly gay couple who met while studying biology at the University of Guelph.[7] They made their sexualities and 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.[8][9]

Channel

AsapScience videos are about science, with many episodes, such as How Much Sleep Do You Actually Need?, discussing functions of the human body. They sometimes make songs explaining science such as Science Love Song and Periodic Table Song.[10] Each video's scientific concepts are conveyed using coloured drawings on a whiteboard and voice-over narration. As revealed in a behind-the-scenes video, Mitchell voices and composes the background music for the videos, while Greg is the primary illustrator.[11]

The most viewed video of the channel as of September 2024 is Do You Hear "Yanny" or "Laurel"?, which has 66 million views.[12] Their videos have been featured in websites such as The Huffington Post[13] and Gizmodo.[14] In March 2015, Moffit and Brown released their first book, AsapSCIENCE: Answers to the World's Weirdest Questions, Most Persistent Rumors, and Unexplained Phenomena.[15]

Collaborations

AsapScience has collaborated with Vsauce3 on 4 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?. One of the videos, 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.[16]

On February 2, 2014, AsapScience announced that they have collaborated with CBC News to produce one video daily related to sports, for 19 days starting from 6 February.[17][18] AsapScience also appeared in several videos with IISuperwomanII.[19][20][21] They had a one-time collaboration with Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell on the What Is The Most Dangerous Drug In The World? video which aired on November 16, 2017.[22][23]

In December 2017, AsapScience appeared on Rhett and Link's YouTube channel Good Mythical Morning.[24] In 2020, alongside Psych IRL and others, AsapScience featured in a YouTube original series Sleeping With Friends, a competition in which participants aim to get the best night's sleep.[25][26][27]

Religion

On March 16, 2017, AsapScience released a video regarding the existence of God and whether it could be proven through the use of math, titled "Can Math Prove God's Existence?"[28] The video sparked a lot of controversy and received a channel-highest dislike percentage of more than 45%.[28][non-primary source needed]

Honours

On December 7, 2023, Mary Simon, the Governor General of Canada, invested both Brown and Moffit with the Meritorious Service Medal (Civil Division) for using "explanations, solid facts and humour" to "educate the Internet generation about science topics".[31][32]
