Destin Sandlin the man behind the channel Smarter Everyday is a science geek who explores the world using science. The channel brings to you breakthroughs in the history of science and more often space science in a quirky way using a personalised narrative, Destin who is a scientist himself has made some really cool videos. Throughout his tenure Destin has also had the opportunity to interview notable personalities like President Barack Obama, Astronaut Chris Cassidy, Astronaut Scott Kelly and many more. With the aim of sharing what he learns and explores, Destin believes that “We’re getting Smarter Everyday, have a good one!” Owing to the spirit of science let’s have a look at the best of Smarter Everyday.
