Veritasium

Meet Derek Muller. Veritasium is his channel covering many science and engineering subjects including interviews. Veritasium, according to Muller on his Wikipedia page:

'The name "Veritasium" is a combination of the Latin word for truth, Veritas, and the suffix common to many elements, -ium. This creates "Veritasium", an element of truth, a play on the popular phrase and a reference to scientific elements.'

Note: Veritasium is a 2016 Streamy Awards nominee in the category of science or education.
