In this highly anticipated episode of Study Hall: College Journeys, the tables turn as Hank Green becomes the interviewee!
Hank shares his winding path from biochemistry major to environmental science grad student to blogger—and eventually, to the YouTuber, science communicator, best-selling author, entrepreneur and philanthropist we know today.
Before YouTube (or social media) was even a career option, Hank dreamed of “being people’s window into the universe.” His early ambitions in biochemistry led him toward pharmaceutical science, but a surprise move to Montana changed everything. There, he discovered environmental science, science communication, and his voice as a writer.
Even if you think you know Hank’s story, this candid conversation reveals how he navigated self-doubt, adapted when his goals shifted, and ultimately found a way to turn curiosity into a career.
