Teaching biochemistry and metabolism using a YouTube channel during COVID-19 pandemic

YouTube is a widely recognized video-sharing platform that students often use to search for videos that explain ideas and concepts related to their courses, seminars, or research. With the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, education has undergone a dramatic shift toward virtual learning, leading to a surge in the number of YouTube viewers and video creators. This article discusses the launch of a Spanish-language YouTube channel focused on biochemistry and metabolism, which was found to be useful by the author's students enrolled in Nutritional Biochemistry course at Universidad Científica del Sur, Lima Perú. This innovation has also benefited students and teachers across Peru and other Spanish-speaking countries. Based on this experience, teachers and professionals should be encouraged to share their knowledge on this platform, making it a reliable source of information during challenging situations.
