"We’ve used extreme sports to demonstrate friction, dance festival stage effects to illustrate electromagnetic radiation and the recent solar eclipse for Earth Sciences. In many cases, the videos we’re selecting are the type of quirky clips students might send viral, so they’re fun too – we just had to apply the academic knowledge to bring the two together.”
