DOKTOR WATSON [YouTube-Channel]
over 300,000 subscribers and nearly 40 million views on 300 videos

DOKTOR WHATSON is one of the most influential science YouTubers in Germany and combines well-founded journalism, science and entertainment.

Today, we are living in the most exciting phase of human history to date. Every day, scientists discover new things about us and the world we live in. I am fascinated by the progress of humanity, where we come from and where we are going. And I want to infect others with this fascination. During my studies, I produced some documentaries and built up a YouTube channel in parallel. On "Doctor Whatson" I talk about physics, technology and everything that will affect us in the future. My videos have already been viewed over four million times, and I have over 300,000 subscribers waiting for even more videos. That's why I'm building a team in Cologne: to reach even more people and to be able to realize exciting projects in new and old media.
