Alex Reich (@alexhreich) is the co-founder of MinuteEarth, an incredibly successful Youtube channel with over 2M subscribers focused on sharing bit-sized science and stories about our amazing planet. He helped start the channel and today serves as writer, editor and director because he believes (as do I) that science communication is a powerful tool for building awareness about how the world works and how we fit in. He is also editor of the popular channel Hot Mess, a show about how climate change impacts all of us, and about how we can create a better future for our planet and ourselves which has over 67k subscribers.
