Dr. Sally Le Page is an evolutionary biologist, science educator, and YouTuber who also identifies as queer and asexual. She is best known for her "Shed Science" series of quirky biology-related videos that answer questions such as How to make plastic from trees (and not fossil fuels) (October 28, 2019) and Can you blow up a balloon underwater? (June 24, 2019). Le Page also currently hosts a livestreamed course on evolution called "Evolution Live," as well as a wildlife-themed series aimed at non-scientists called "Nature Dates" (all found under Playlists). One of Dr. Le Page's most popular videos, though, is her Coming Out video (February 9, 2016) where she discusses her experiences as a queer scientist and the importance of LGBTQ+ visibility in the sciences.
