== Content ==
Nick makes videos mostly about physics and astronomy, but occasionally about mathematics, biology, and chemistry. He often delves deeper into topics than other science YouTubers, but the content is still approachable. Nick uses clones to help move the story along and for comic relief. These clones represent exaggerated aspects of his own personality. His most popular clones are Question Clone, who can only ask questions, and Nerd Clone, who usually appears to correct Nick with more nuanced information. Other recurring clones include Experiment Clone, Adventure Clone, and Pop Culture Clone.
The Science Asylum is meant to be a safe place for anyone excited to discuss science. Nick actively moderates his comment section to keep the discussion positive, productive, and free of misinformation. He also continues to respond to comments on older videos. Nick's tagline "It's okay to be a little crazy." reflects this philosophy. He calls his viewers "Crazies."
