These are channels that are run by individuals or small teams. Many of the national STEM societies also have YouTube channels but the NumberPhile channel has 4.62 million subscribers the American Mathematical Society has 6.79K subscribers. A standout for me is the American Chemical Society (82K subscribers) that has the ACSReactions channel with 546K subscribers that is an excellent example of digesting research for the general public.
