His work appears on channels from Vox Media, Discovery, Science, PBS television, PBS Digital Studios, and more.

Andy Neal sits down with the beloved science communicator and YouTube veteran to talk about his journey from the early days at Discovery Channel to carving out his own creative path as an independent creator.
They dive into the rise of YouTube, the realities of burnout, and what it really takes to make science accessible (and exciting!) in today’s world. Trace gets real about conspiracies, magical thinking, the decline of media literacy, and how AI is reshaping the way we tell science stories.
From the future of energy storage to why batteries are actually way cooler than you think, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration. If you're curious about the universe—or just love a good deep-dive conversation—this one's for you.
