We are glad to present you an interview with Derek Muller filmed in April, 2019. Derek Muller is the author and creator of Veritasium — popular science channel with more than 270 videos and 6 million subscribers (as of September, 2019). Derek is also known for starring in documentaries “Uranium – Twisting the Dragon's Tail” and “Vitamania”, as well as his collaborations with other popular science channels, such as Vsauce and Smarter Every Day.
Here we talk about what use might popular science be of, who Derek will never get into scientific debate with and why he almost quit his channel just 6 months after starting it. Also, we discuss main challenges while creating popular science videos, current situation in science, and how to revolutionize education.
