ACS is excited to announce Untold, a new video series produced in partnership with PBS Digital Studios and YouTube Learning. This limited-run series features stories about science and how chemistry, physics, astronomy and geology can provide insight into the world around us.

Over the course of 10 episodes, Untold tells stories through a scientific lens, from the tale of a lonely whale to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster to how air conditioning works and more. The series is hosted by Alex Dainis, Ph.D., a geneticist and science communicator. Throughout each episode, Dainis explains the history involved and illustrates the science behind the unique topics.
YouTube Learning was created to fund and promote creators and organizations making education-focused content on YouTube, and features content from the History Channel, NASA and other organizations dedicated to educating the public. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been and continues to be a valuable source of remote learning for students.
