Jacob Beautemps not only appears on camera on his YouTube channel “Breaking Lab,” but is also a welcome guest on TV shows. Whether in front of the camera on well-known entertainment shows with Günther Jauch and Oliver Pocher or in a talk for the “Youtopia” project with Dr. Gregory Gysi, Ranga Yogeshwar, or Nico Rosberg – nothing throws him off balance!
Jacob Beautemps: “Rethinking our future. Innovations that make our lives better.”
In his new book, “Rethinking our future,” scientist and science YouTuber Dr. Jacob Beautemps takes us on an exciting journey to groundbreaking innovations and the brilliant minds behind them. The book covers topics such as energy, nutrition, climate change, medicine, and artificial intelligence, explaining complex concepts in an understandable way. Beautemps spoke with innovators from various countries to find out what drives innovative thinking.
The book offers an optimistic view of the future and shows how innovative thinking empowers us to take action and makes us happy in the process.
Jacob Beautemps is also conducting research at the University of Cologne on the topic of educational videos on YouTube. The aim is to develop artificial intelligence that analyzes viewing behavior and learning gains when watching videos, thereby helping to create a catalog of what makes a good educational video on YouTube.
