Top Social Media Accounts for Gearheads

Social media is justifiably criticized for accelerating the spread of misinformation, but it does also help spread information.

For gearheads who are interested in information about cars, mechanical engineering, and physical science, there are some really cool accounts out there to keep an eye on.

Some of these are very specific, such as Bozi Tataravic’s focus on race engineering and the trackside experience of a pit crewman, while Nature, is obviously very broad.

But they all consistently provide nuggets of great information that can inform, make you scratch your head, or just amuse.
