BrainCraft
Hi! I'm Dr Vanessa Hill, a sleep researcher and science communicator. On BrainCraft I explore psychology, neuroscience and self-development. My mission is to bridge the gap between scientific research and your daily well-being.
Outside of my regular videos, you can find BrainCraft as a series on PBS, watch my YouTube Originals show Sleeping With Friends, or check out my PBS docu-series Attention Wars. There's so much to watch, I'm honestly not sure why you're still reading this.
But since you are, please consider subscribing and supporting my Patreon so I can continue to make educational videos 🧠✨
