I saw your post about smaller youtuber professor/scientists. Any that you would like to recommend off the top of your head?
Yes! Lots!

In addition, a BUNCH of universities and museums have their own youtube channels, where they just. upload wholeass lectures. for free. I love using these as reference material and just to learn new fun shit by actual professors. Here's some, and what I usually use them as reference for will be in the parentheses. quality of video will heavily depend on the school/museum, but they're still mostly being made by professors, doctors, and those with longtime field experience.
Central Washington University (geology, emphasis on PNW and vulcanism): CWU
Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology, Alberta: https://www.youtube.com/c/RoyalTyrrellMuseumofPalaeontology/featured
Institute of Human Anatomy: https://www.youtube.com/c/InstituteofHumanAnatomy
Mutter Museum of the College of Physicians in Philadephlia (human anatomy and related curiosities): https://www.youtube.com/c/Themuttermuseum
Basically, find a university/college/museum that’s famous for a particular field, or one you’re really interested in, and just look them up on youtube! There’s a surprisingly good chance they may have videos you’ll be interested in, and if you dig around, sometimes their have related channels, channels they’re affiliated with, or if you dig just a little further, sometimes you can find youtube channels of the people who make or are featured in said university/museum’s videos, themselves! Like, “Oh, this professor is talking about X in this video? Lemme just look up their name real quick and see if a channel shows up for them.” Sometimes you can find some real fantastic gold, that way.
(And the more you look for channels like these, the more youtube’s algorithm will recommend more of the smaller channels like them. A lot of these I found, surprisingly, via youtube’s recommended’s.)
