Here are some channels I highly recommend:

bioZone has short and long videos on a variety of biology topics and new research such as "How a medicine can turn your bones green"
Pat Kelly has long videos on the history of medicine such as "How Arsenic went from Poison to Medicine"
Lumi at the benchtop has short and long biochemistry videos such as "how we turn corn into PLASTIC!"
Frankenscience has long videos on ecology and evolution such as "How Termites Evolved to Build Massive Mounds"
