Michael Stevens is the creator of Vsauce, a YouTube channel originally focusing on games and moved to science education – a series that now has over 18 million subscribers and 1.2 billion views after 10 years. His videos blend philosophy, maths and science and he’s now touring with Mythbuster Adam Savage for Brain Candy Live, which premieres in Perth on the 22nd January after a successful US tour.
Kylie Sturgess of Talk the Talk spoke to Michael about science communication, how to interact with critics and what it’s like doing a big science tour.
