Vilas Winstein, a researcher on the DYNASNET project along with Caio Alves, Aranka Hrušková have created a YouTube channel to upload educational videos. You can check it out here: Spectral Collective
The first video is already uploaded: What is the limit of a sequence of graphs?? | Benjamini-Schramm Convergence
This is an introduction to the mathematical concept of Benjamini-Schramm convergence, which is a type of graph limit theory which works well for sparse graphs. We hope that most of it is understandable by a wide audience with some mathematical background (including some prior exposure to graph theory), but to get the most out of the video it is helpful to know some probability theory and general topology.
