In the course I walk you through my process of conceptualising, structuring, and writing educational video about science. This covers the use of data visualisation, storytelling techniques, framing, and many other concepts. Basically, it's the distillation of years of me doing this job and telling you what I wish I'd been told ten years ago. If you're a researcher looking to make videos about your work, or a science communicator looking to level up how you make content - this is the course for you!
My course is just one piece of exclusive, original content on @watch.nebula, including dozens of classes and hundreds of videos. By signing up and watching our videos on Nebula, you directly support us creators and new educational video.

According to at least one well-respected ranking of solutions to climate change, refrigeration is the number one way we can reduce carbon emissions. In this video I talk about why, and how we can make that a reality. No, it doesn't involve putting the Earth in a fridge.
Note that rankings of emissions reductions change over time! It's been a few years since the Drawdown book was published, and on their website refrigeration is no longer at the top spot. But that's because they've split "refrigeration" into two solutions, and especially when accounting for implementing the Kigali Amendment, it's still the single largest solution by emissions avoided.

This fun video essay looks at the number one way we can reduce carbon emissions. According to project drawdown, the best way to reduce carbon emissions is to replace refrigerants in fridges and air conditioning units. In this video I talk about hydrofluorocarbons or HFCs, and the crucial steps in phasing them out, including by the Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol. If you like videos from Mark Rober, Smarter Every Day, Climate Town, or Wendover, you'll like this video essay about climate change.

The International Transport Forum (ITF) releases a biennial report on how we can reduce the carbon emissions from transport - planes, trains, automobiles, and more. This video is a summary of the recent 2023 ITF report, breaking their "high ambition" framework down into fifteen steps. Are these steps the optimal pathway to decarbonising transport? Quite possibly not. Is there lots of complexity in the report that I don't have the time to discuss in the video? Definitely. Are sustainable aviation fuels realistic? Doubtful.
But this video is an overview of one - at least quasi- - realistic pathway to slashing transport emissions. It contains several points that I am doubtful of. But I hope this is a useful starting point, based on a respected think tank and established literature. If you would like to learn more, please check out the documents below:

Video title: How to decarbonise transport
This video is about how to decarbonise transport - how we can move around without emitting (as much) carbon dioxide. This video essay is based on the International Transport Forum (ITF) and their reports. The 2023 ITF report has lots of detail on how the transport can reduce its carbon emissions, that I summarise in how to decarbonise transport in 15 steps. If you like videos from Wendover Productions, Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell, Climate Town, Not Just Bikes, or Real Life Lore, you'll enjoy this video essay about how to reduce carbon emissions from transport.

An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary film from 2006 by Al Gore. The year after it was released it was hauled in front of the UK high court, and found to be riddled with errors. What are these errors, and what can they tell us about climate science?

This video is about An Inconvenient Truth, the documentary film by Al Gore about climate change, global warming, carbon emissions and sea level rise. We talk through the Dimmock court case that led to a judge ruling An Inconvenient Truth was inaccurate in nine ways and changing its distribution to schools. Is An Inconvenient Truth propaganda? No, but Al Gore is making a political point in An Inconvenient Truth.

Ridley Scott’s critically acclaimed science-fiction film, The Martian (2015), based on the book of the same title by Andy Weir, has been lauded as a masterpiece of scientifically accurate science fiction film making. From start to finish there are very few mistakes and some are issues that have come to light from research published after its release. However, physics is the bearer of bad news for the ending which undermines that near-perfect record of accuracy…

In this video I speak to Lisa, a student at Durrell Wildlife Conservation, trying to save the critically endangered black lion tamarin from extinction. Her research focuses on designing nestboxes that the monkeys can use to cross between forest fragments in their native Brazil. As we learn in this video, the distinction between conservation in the wild and in captivity is becoming increasingly blurred, and research has a key role to play in that conservation.

This video is about Durrell, a conservation charity based on the Island of Jersey, and the work they do saving species from extinction. We learn about black lion tamarins, an adorable species of monkey from the rainforest of Brazil, that is critically endangered due to habitat loss. The student in this video - Lisa - is hoping to start her PhD on their conservation soon. This research focuses on tamarin nest boxes, saving the monkey from extinction by helping them migrate between forest fragments.

This is a follow-up video to Global Warming: An Inconvenient History, going into much more detail of events from 1979 to 1989. In particular this is the story of the "villain" of climate change, a man you've likely never heard of before. But is that a fair description? You be the judge.

This video essay in the style of Jon Bois and BobbyBroccoli is about the history of climate change, and how John Sununu is the villain of the story, preventing a binding agreement on carbon emissions at the Noordwijk conference of 1989. Who is to blame for climate change? Who caused global warming? Why was John Sununu so important? These questions and more are answered in this video about the history of science and global warming.

A paper last year demonstrated that machine learning techniques similar to image upscaling can improve the forecast of the weather, in particular notoriously difficult-to-predict precipitation. In this video I talk to two of the paper's authors about their Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) approach and how they adapted it to the chaotic system of the atmosphere.

How is the weather predicted? Why are weather forecasts wrong? How to predict rain accurately? Can you use machine learning to predict the weatehr? This video is about a scientific paper that blends machine learning techniques with weather prediction, using a generative adversarial network to upscale (downsample) predictions of rainfall over the UK. If you like videos from Jordan Harrod, Veritasium, or Real Engineering you will enjoy this science video about predicting the weather.

University divestment, divest from fossil fuels, dissociate movement, dissociate from the fossil fuel industry. This video is about the campaign to stop fossil fuel companies like Shell and BP from financing research at universities, and particularly looking at the role they play at my universities: the University of Oxford and the University of Exeter.

This video is about a duet between the atmosphere and the ocean, one that reaches around the entire world and has shaped human history. Of course, I'm talking about the El Nino Southern Oscillation or ENSO, a fascinating example of a teleconnection. In this video I talk about what ENSO is, what a teleconnection is, and how natural changes in the climate have impacted human history (and what it implies for our future).
Also, Pharaoh (1999).

This video essay on the history of how climate has changed society looks at the fall of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, the collapse of the Maya, the end of the Moche, as well as the decline of Akkad and the Indus Valley Civilisation. Using the scientific literature and Flood, Famines, and Emperors by Brian Fagan, I explain how the El Nino Southern Oscillation or ENSO is an example of a teleconnection, the most important one that shapes the climate of our planet on short timescales. This science video essay is about natural climate change, and what it can teach us about modern anthropogenic change. Also, Pharaoh (1999).

This books vlog recommends some books that you might enjoy - I talk about some non-fiction titles including the Hollow Crown, Dominion, and The Discovery of Global Warming, and some fiction including my first Terry Pratchett and Helsreach. After a break from reading for a while because I published my first book I talk about the books I’ve enjoyed recently.

The climate crisis is caused by a build up of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, which traps energy and raises the planet's average temperature. This was discovered over the course of 200 years by a large cast of chemists, physicists, geologists, and other scientists. Some of them you may know, such as Joseph Fourier and Charles Keeling, but many of them are less well known. This video tells the remarkable story of men and women like Eunice Foote, Roger Revelle, Guy Callendar, and James Croll. But there's still more to be told! If you would like to see part 2 of the story, focusing on the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, let me know in the comments.

This science documentary is about the story of global warming, how we discovered global warming, the beginning of the climate crisis. Who discovered CO2? Who discovered global warming? Who was Svante Arrhenius? Who was Eunice Foote? What did Charles Keeling do, and what is the Keeling curve? The video essay is about how climate change was discovered. If you enjoyed videos like The man who tried to fake an element and other science documentaries from BobbyBroccoli or Kurzgesagt you will enjoy this video essay about the history of global warming.

String theory and machine learning - two hot topics in physics, but how do you combine them? I'm talking to Thomas, a PhD student at the University of Oxford - my alma mater - about his research, and life at Oxford. Along the way I get to do some reflecting on my experience studying at Oxford, and how things have changed since then.

One part of the atmosphere has been cooling down for the past few decades and it provides a smoking gun evidence for what is behind the climate crisis. Let's talk about where that is, and why that is.

Video about global warming and why the sun cannot be behind global warming due to cooling in the stratosphere. In this fun science video essay similar to videos from SciShow and Veritasium and Smarter Every Day and NileRed I explain how the sun doesn't heat the atmosphere but heats the Earth underneath, and why that's important

Our carbon emissions are overwhelmingly from our use and generation of energy, which means that our response to the climate crisis largely needs to be the decarbonisation of energy, specifically ending our dependence on fossil fuels. However, around one quarter of all our emissions come from other processes, one of the largest of which is construction. These emissions are mostly from cement production, due to the nature of making cement.
In this video I shine a light on one company - LEILAC - who are developing what I think is a realistic, scalable solution to this problem. Which, in what may be a surprise to some, involves carbon capture technology. I also ask how a company has made a business model out of preventing carbon emissions, and what this tells us about how capitalism can respond to the climate crisis.

Video about cement production, cement CO2 emissions, cement carbon emissions, how cement is ruining the climate. In this video I talk about unavoidable carbon emissions, and a fringe case that calls for the use of carbon capture technology, and look at a company providing carbon capture technology called LEILAC. If you like video essays about climate change from Wendover, Real Engineering, Smarter Every Day, It's OK to be Smart, or Veritasium, you'll enjoy this fun science video about carbon capture.

Clouds come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and some of them are objectively better than others. In this entirely serious, scientific, and non-biased video I talk about which clouds are great, and which ones can get in the atmospheric bin. If you don't know your cumulus from your cirrus, this video will also help you out.

After a very expensive year, I wanted to learn how to invest my finally-free savings in a way that would achieve two objectives:
1) Not make the climate crisis worse
2) Help contribute to solutions to the climate crisis
This video is the outcome of my personal research, in which I introduce you to various investment options and how to make climate-friendly decisions in each case. This isn't comprehensive or the opinion of an expert! Just a concerned citizen trying to use their savings to help fix the mess we find ourselves in.
Along the way I was ably assisted by my friend and money guru Ali Abdaal, check out his channel: youtube.com/aliabdaal

Video about how to invest your money in a way that doesn't cause climate change or contribute to the climate crisis, which stocks to pick which shares to pick to minimise climate impact, which ETFs are best for climate change, should I use a robo-investor like Betterment or Wealthify and can they help with the climate crisis. In this video essay I tell you what I learned about low carbon investment options and how to make your savings help the climate crisis.

This month a paper came out that honestly chilled me. It was about tipping points in climate - a well-known concept that the climate can change abruptly if certain conditions are met in certain elements of the climate system, such as excess melting of the Greenland ice sheet. That wasn't new. What was new was the threshold these tipping elements could flip - according to this research, we could be triggering some tipping elements already - and if we warm the planet by just 1.5°C then we are *likely* to do so.
The climate is still within our control. But if we keep emitting as we are, that isn't always going to be the case.
Every. Tenth. Of. A. Degree. Counts.

Video about tipping points in climate and a new paper about climate tipping points, talking about the shutdown of the thermohaline circulation, permafrost thaw, collapse of ice sheets, and extinction of corals. This new paper from McKay et al showed that there isn't a neat relationship between cumulative carbon emissions and global warming - there can be step changes thanks to internal variability, rapidly pushing the Earth into different climates. In this video I talk about climate tipping points, how some are already possible today, and will become likely at just 1.5C of warming.

I got married to pixel girl! Well, pixel wife now. And while we were on honeymoon, some huge climate news broke... some of which doesn't seem to have made it very far. In this video I talk about the climatic happenings of August - the floods in Pakistan and the drought in China - and about how you can stay more up to date about climate crisis.

The recent extreme heat in Europe has led many people on my social feeds to claim that England used to be warmer in the so-called "medieval warm period" than today, and so that any modern heat isn't worrying. In this video I look through the evidence often cited for this claim and discuss why the medieval warm period wasn't that warm, and certainly wasn't global. In short: we should still be very, very worried.

This is a silly little video talking about why Taylor Swift using her private jet isn't the end of the world, but the fact that we're talking about it is a little worrying. Our individual actions on climate are not meaningful, but the system they take place in is - and that's what we should be discussing. The fact that we think of our carbon footprints has a quite interesting history that makes me break out the tin foil.

This video essay offers some criticisms of the TeamSeas project and it's association with the Ocean Cleanup. Is TeamSeas going to make any difference? Is TeamSeas bad? What are the TeamSeas interceptors? Will the TeamSeas interceptorts work? The interceptors run by the Ocean Cleanup use new technology to stop plastic reaching the ocean, except they're not new technology and won't stop plastic reaching the ocean. They are a technologically and ecologically inappropriate solution to the problem of plastic waste and the TeamSeas campaign is a colossal missed opportunity to do some good.

In July 2022 the UK shattered its temperature record, observing a temperature of over 40°C for the first time. This was part of a devastating heatwave that spanned the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal and saw evacuations, wildfires, and thousands of premature deaths. This forms part of a grim trend: Europe has become a heatwave hotspot, seeing an increase in heatwaves three to four times greater than elsewhere in the midlatitudes. This video examines why, and discusses the future of heatwaves in Europe.

European heatwaves recently broke temperature records due to climate change, climate change made the heatwaves in the UK and France and Germany and Spain and Portugal hotter, the jet stream brought heatwave conditions in 2022 to Europe which was caused by the climate crisis. This video is about the science of how the jet stream is changing temperatures across Europe and how climate change is making heatwaves hotter. If you like videos from SciShow, Crash Course, Smarter Every Day, or Veritasium you will enjoy this science video about the climate crisis.

A spherical cow is such a meme within physics that it has its own Wikipedia page, but why do physics use it? Why do we make approximations about the universe when describing it with equations? I'd argue that the only way to take our understanding beyond the simple is to make the universe simple...

In this episode in the PhD stories series, I visited the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands to chat to Francesco, a grad student who is researching the extraordinary photosynthesis abilities of Hirschfeldia incana. This is just a weed, sure, but a weed who has exceptionally high rates of photosynthesis, and may just be the way to feed a future Earth with 10 billion people on it.

In this grad school vlog I talk to Francesco Garassino, a PhD student at the University of Wageningen, who is researching photosynthesis in the department of plant science. What's it like doing a PhD in plant science? What's it like doing a PhD in the Netherlands? We talk about why his species of plant has such high rates of photosynthesis, what it's like to build your own lab equipment, and how plant science can feed a planet with 10 billion people.

The World Health Organisation says that 7 million people are killed every year by the air they breathe. Why, where, and what can we do about it? Turns out, there are a few reasons we should stop burning fossil fuels...

So yeah, spoiler alert, air pollution kills 7 million people a year. And what causes the majority of dangerous air pollution? Humans burning stuff, specifically fossil fuels. Even without their immense impact on global climate, we should be phasing out the use of coal, oil, and natural gas because they are literally killing millions of people every single year. We have the technology to replace fossil fuel use in energy generation with renewables (and nuclear, though that's... complicated here), and wealthy economies need to support low and middle income economies in their efforts to decarbonise (and literally clean up) their energy supply.

We're going to buy a house, and we're going to make the subscribers pay for it! With the support of my viewers over the past ten years, pixel girl and I have finally been able to buy a house. I wanted to make this house move in vlog to say thank you, both for enabling this particular life milestone, but also for sticking with me and for making the comments and discord and my social media replies such a wonderful community. I am so, so lucky to do this job, and to have a kind, generous, thoughtful group of people who enjoy the stuff I do. So thank you, so, so much.

As someone who thinks a lot about climate change, I find it difficult sometimes to stay positive, and it seems I'm not alone. Many people suffer from climate despair, believing that we're just too far gone and that the planet is screwed (insert more forceful expletive if you like). While I can understand why people think this, I don't agree - and in this video I talk about why it's not too late for action, and why there's a lot to be said for not giving up.
Also, I had an absolutely horrific cold while recording this one, sorry.

How do I not give up in the face of climate change? How to avoid climate despair? What is climate despair? Is there any hope in climate change? In this short video essay I talk about the three things that keep me going and not give in to climate despair: the nature of the problem, the nature of the response, and why it makes economic sense to fight climate change. As I say in the video, this isn't to say that I'm hopeful we'll avoid devastating climate change this century: but I'm not hopeless.

This video essay is about the physics of the day after tomorrow, the Roland Emmerich disaster film about the Earth being plunged into a new ice age after the thermohaline circulation. Scientist reacts to the accuracy of the science in the day after tomorrow movie, talking about the thermodynamics of the atmosphere and how both heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation) and doing work on a system are important.

I was invited by STFC to visit the lab 1km under the surface of Northern England to learn about the amazing research done there on exobiology, specifically how the salt caverns of Boulby are a perfect analogue for Mars. The lab is, by its location and extreme environment, basically an alien base - I certainly felt like an astronaut while visiting!

Contrary to what you might think, more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is actually bad news for growing food. In this video I talk about why more CO2 means a warmer planet, a drier planet, and less food. But more than that, food that actually contains fewer nutrients...

Video essay about the effects of climate change on agriculture, how climate change will hurt food production, including how climate change will make food less nutritious. More CO2 means more photosynthesis, but more CO2 also means a warmer planet, which means less food, and food lacking in protein. In this video - similar to videos from SciShow, Crash Course, ClimateTown, Our Changing Climate, Veritasium, and Smarter Every Day - I talk about how global warming will impact how much food we can grow.

Climate litigation is an increasingly widespread form of climate activism - filing lawsuits against oil companies, governments, energy suppliers and more to seek damages for the effects of man-made climate change. But until 2015 almost all of these lawsuits have been unsuccessful, for reasons that my friend Devin, @LegalEagle, explains. However, a 2015 case may pave the way for more successes in the courtroom.

This video is about the lawsuits that have been filed to date about climate change, suing climate change, lawsuits against oil companies, lawsuits against governments to stop climate change, and the landmark ruling in the Netherlands in 2015, Urgenda Foundation v. State of the Netherlands, that might have changed the game for climate litigation. Legal Eagle Devin Stone helps me decode why so many lawsuits to date have failed and how the law needs to change in English systems to make more climate lawsuits possible.

To be clear the new IPCC report is mostly a comprehensive account of what we can do to stop climate change, and contains the latest research on how we can use technology and policy effectively. Some of the chapters in the full report are actually quite radical!
What I'm focusing on in this video is what I fear will be the talking point techbros and fossil fuel lobbyists will seize on - the use of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology to prolong the burning of fossil fuels. Do I see their economic argument? Of course. Do I think it's a bad argument? Absolutely. We're talking about keeping the planet habitable, and anything that obfuscates the action necessary to do so is dangerous and should be shunned. As I say in the video, we will almost certainly need to make use of CDR technology later this century to offset unavoidable emissions, and even to lower CO2 concentrations, but this is not something that should be factoring into our decisions right now. Right now we need to keep the carbon in the ground, which means not burning fossil fuels. Simple as.

This video is about the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and their Working Group 3 report as part of AR6. I talk about the good news from the IPCC - wind and solar are cheaper than ever and used more and more, and climate policy works! But the report also dedicates a lot of time to talking about carbon capture and storage (CCS), carbon dioxide removal (CDR), and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). In my opinion this discussion only gifts a talking point to fossil fuel companies and will delay the necessary decoupling of society from coal, oil, and natural gas.

I have been fascinated about the origins of words, also known as etymology, for years. In this video I share the interesting stories of where some words come from. Some of these are very simple but very old, such as water and star, while others are more modern with interesting, circuituous routes, such as anime, Wolverhampton, and the integral sign.
My book Firmament, also teeming with etymology: geni.us/firmament
A previous video on mathematical etymology: youtu.be/AzVL432lEWA
If you would like to learn more about where words come from then there are tons of resources available online, but I would also recommend two books:

This is a vlog about etymology, the study of where words come from. I talk about PIE proto-indo-european and proto-germanic, the ancestor language of modern European languages such as German, English, Danish, and Dutch, but also languages further afield such as Urdu, Gujarati, and Russian. In this interesting video I talk about where these words come from, the origins of words, and how languages change over time. If you like videos by Mental Floss, John Green, Hank Green, Crash Course, or CGPGrey you will enjoy this interesting video about languages.

I was given the opportunity to speak at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway, and due to my pledge to not fly unless absolutely necessary, I took the train! That meant an epic 6000km journey across Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Then on the way back I stopped over in Stockholm to meet up with some new affiliates of the Wikicast empire...
The Wikicast on Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-wikicast/id1256465047
The Wikicast on Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/0lXo8zFI9j4MlyPv4GlCrc
Travelling by train is more expensive and it takes longer, but is a totally different experience to flying. I felt connected to the journey in a more meaningful way, and actually enjoyed the experience. I had leg room! I had nice food! If you've never taken a medium-long distance trip like this by train before, honestly give it a go. It's better for the climate, and it's better for you.

As a result of the invasion of Ukraine, western countries have economically cut off Russia, perhaps most significantly cutting off the supply of natural gas and oil. But natural gas supplies more than a fifth of Europe's energy, and if it's not going to come from Russia, where is it going to come from? In this video I talk about how and why Europe (and indeed other countries) should remove natural gas from their energy mix.

This week a new report was released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), specifically looking at the impacts of climate change. It makes for grim reading. The report tells us that climate change is already impacting billions of people, and pushing wildlife to extinction. Further, these impacts are going to get worse the more carbon we put into the atmosphere. In this video I look at why the loss of species is particularly dangerous, risking sending us at breakneck speed into the sixth mass extinction in the history of our planet.

This video is about the new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change looking at the impacts of climate change. It says this isn’t a future problem. Climate change is already un-aliving people. Destroying nature. Making the world poorer. This video focuses on the most existential threat posed by climate change - the damage it is doing to the biosphere, causing a new mass extinction. Humans are causing the sixth mass extinction in the history of Earth, something made much worse by global warming.

This video is about science communication, or sci comm for short. What is sci comm and how do you do sci comm? In my opinion science communication is about two key ideas, the outcomes of sci comm, and science capital. Science capital is how into science you are, and informs how you approach communicating a particular topic within science. In this video essay I talk about how to talk about science, using the RPGeeks - my DnD project with my talented friends - as an example.

Nature article with list: nature.com/news/the-top-100-papers-1.16224
What is the greatest science of all time? Well by one measure, the most cited papers of all time, ie those papers that have been referenced the most times in other scientific papers. So, as a challenge I tried to read the top 100 most cited papers of all time. This went about as well as you could hope for actually, while some papers in physical chemistry and statistics were beyond me (what EVEN IS density functional theory??) the majority were surprisingly readable. I learned some fascinating things about bioinformatics, graphene, and the many, many ways you can measure proteins, as well as some insights into how science as a whole is done.

One polar vortex is enough for Earth, Mars, Venus, Saturn, and even Titan. But Jupiter? Jupiter has to be special... In this video I interview Prof Dann Mitchell at the University of Bristol, lead author of a recent paper on all the polar vortices known to science, about how Jupiter made us rethink what a 'polar vortex' actually is after the Juno mission arrived...

Video essay about the polar vortex on Earth, Mars, Venus, Titan, and even Saturn's hexagonal polar vortex. Jupiter and it's polar vortex has to be different however, because Jupiter has multiple polar vortices - something that had scientists redefining what polar vortex actually means. It you like videos from SciShow, SciShow Space, Crash Course, and Veritasium, you'll enjoy this video about Jupiter and its polar vortex.
