The two creators have a secondary channel, Greg and Mitch (formerly AsapTHOUGHT), which contains videos discussing several issues (not all pertaining to science).

Team

• Mitchell "Mitch" Moffit, born {{birth date and age|1988|3|27}}, creator and host
• Gregory "Greg" Brown, born {{birth date and age|1988|9|25}}, creator and host

Moffit and Brown are an openly gay couple who met while studying biology at the University of Guelph.^[2] They made their sexualities and relationship public online in 2014, two years after starting their channel, in response to homophobic comments and in order to be visible role models for young gay people interested in science.^[3][4]

Channel

AsapScience videos are about science, with many episodes, such as How Much Sleep Do You Actually Need?, discussing functions of the human body. They sometimes make songs explaining science such as Science Love Song and Periodic Table Song.^[5] Each video's scientific concepts are conveyed using colored drawings on a whiteboard and voice-over narration. As revealed in a behind-the-scenes video, Mitchell voices and composes the background music for the videos, while Greg is the primary illustrator.^[6]

The most viewed video of the channel currently is Do You Hear "Yanny" or "Laurel"?, which has almost 50 million views.^[7] Their videos have been featured in websites such as The Huffington Post,^[8] Gizmodo^[9] and VirtualDr^[10]

In March 2015, Moffit and Brown released their first book, AsapSCIENCE: Answers to the World's Weirdest Questions, Most Persistent Rumors, and Unexplained Phenomena.^[11]

Collaborations

AsapScience has collaborated with Vsauce3 on 4 videos, The Scientific Secret of Strength and Muscle Growth and What if Superman Punched You?, Can We Genetically Improve Intelligence? and Can You Genetically Enhance Yourself?.

One of the videos, Could We Stop An Asteroid?, features Bill Nye, who discusses different ways humanity could stop an asteroid if one were on a collision course for Earth.^[12]

On 2 February 2014, AsapScience announced that they have collaborated with CBC News to produce one video daily related to sports, for 19 days starting from 6 February.^[13][14]

Religion

On 16 March 2017, AsapScience released a video regarding the existence of God and whether it could be proven through the use of math, titled "Can Math Prove God's Existence?".^[16] The video sparked a lot of controversy and received a channel-highest dislike percentage of nearly 44%^[16] (as of August 2017).
