My YouTube entry to the Veritasium science communication contest

The famous YouTube channel Veritasium hosted a science communication contest, which was first described in this video. Even though my video entry didn't win, it was still a great experience of making a high quality demo video, as well as learning a bit about YouTube's algorithms for tracking, analyzing, etc.

Also, I found this super cool python code (I did not write it)-- which is run directly from one's Google Drive, with no need to open anaconda/python on your local computer-- that analyzes YouTube data via the YouTube API! This is a nice introduction to APIs, which I'm sure will be handy for future projects.
