->''"Here at [=SciShow=], we hate not knowing things."''

* The [=SciShow=] Space channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/scishowspace here]]. Rotating hosts Hank Green, Reid Reimers, and Caitlin Hoffmeister focus on astronomy and other space-related information and news updates.

* AdjustingYourGlasses: Hank regularly adjusts his (rather nerdy) glasses in the nerdy "by the corner" manner.

** The Dose episode "Tatooine?" begins with a reference to StarWars.

* The [=SciShow=] Psych channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/scishowpsych here]]. Rotating hosts Hank Green and Brit Garner explain aspects of psychology throughout history and the present.

* There is also a spin-off podcast, SciShow Tangents, described as a "lightly competitive knowledge showcase" which features several of the makers of SciShow sharing interesting science facts on a different topic each week. It includes a poem to introduce the topic, a Radio/WaitWaitDontTellMe style section choosing which of three "facts" is true, a "fact-off" where two players try to present a fact to the others which will "blow their minds", and a post-credits "But fact". Discussion often wanders off-topic, hence the show's title.

* DanBrowned: They have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT0HJkr1jj4 an episode detailing Chromosomal abnormalities of the sex chromosomes]], such as XYY syndrome and Kleinfelter's (XXY). The problem is that they present these conditions as additional biological sexes, when in reality they're more comparable to Down's syndrome than anything. Abnormalities of this chromosome pair actually have a very minor impact on the way the body develops, if ''at all''. The most drastic one is XO syndrome, wherein the baby has but a single unpaired X chromosome. This results in a perfectly ordinary female baby, save that she has no ovaries. Even the aforementioned XXY syndrome just results in a male with some slight "man boobs," almost indistinguishable from the ones normally found on obese XY males. All in all, science isn't likely to recognize a third sex until presented with a third gamete.

--> ''Hank Green:'' [Chlorine trifluoride is] much more dangerous to handle than even fluorine gas, which as anyone with a degree in chemistry can tell you… is not a sentence you get to say very often.
