Videos on physics? While some videos on physics have gained a cult-like following and hundreds of thousands of views, the subject that makes most people’s eyes glaze over still can’t compete with entertainers like Katy Perry in the YouTube world.

Earlier this week, Dianna Cowern was awarded the top video prize for her “What is Color?” video in a national science communications competition by the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at SUNY Stonybrook.
