The internet is a wonderful place to learn. Every single person reading this has access to a device on which you can view almost every piece of knowledge ever collected by the human race. But let's face it, as the amount of information increases, so does the signal to noise ratio. For every fantastic science blog there are ten quack sites. For every educational and informative video, there's a crackpot on YouTube telling you that the government is trying to kill you with plastic snow.
That's why I'm so excited about this new project - there are hundreds and thousands of truly spectacular content creators out there who have little to no audience, simply because they haven't been noticed. I'm lucky enough on IFLS to have enough influence to get some of these talented people noticed - and now, by teaming up with the Science Channel, I'm hoping to be able to introduce you all to even more deserving people.
Nice to hear
