I don’t know who that is, but I’m glad to hear it! Fuck cancer!
Guess it’s time to check out a new YouTube channel…
It’s like if Bill Nye was your nerdy buddy instead of your cool professor. I’ve never met the dude but he’s on my list of people who don’t know they’re my friend.

Yay for parasocial relationships.
This is really interesting because it seems to me there’s a placebo effect. I know I don’t know Hank Green but despite knowing he isn’t my friend (but he totally would be) he still feels like it.
His brother is also a pretty good YouTuber, author, and podcaster
And their combined podcast is pretty fun: https://open.spotify.com/show/6e4HNBdPvjDOHKVf82oMEk
I miss that podcast so much. I hope it comes back when they’re ready
Nice username. Tell Tad I said hi.
Definitely do! His content is great
Oh wow I stopped following his channels a few years back so I had no idea. Good for him.
I love the videos where he talks to a science person and then hang out with an animal
This is always great news! Cancer treatment is getting better every year but there’s still a long way to go. Here’s hoping he never has to go through it again. 💪
So glad, it was heartbreaking when I heard he had cancer, he seems like such a good person
Oh man, that’s great news!
Anyone amazed at how quickly this has occurred? I don’t follow his channel too closely, but I could have sworn he announced his cancer diagnosis only a few months ago (but I could totally be wrong).
So to go from finding out one has cancer, to then being cancer free in roughly 6 months or so is blowing my mind.
Even when he announced it. It’s crazy that in 2023, some can go “I got cancer. It’ll suck, but I’ll be fine.”
Just a few decades ago it was the biggest scare to have cancer and it will terminally end your life.
Depends on the type of cancer, but some of the new cancer drugs work incredibly fast. My brother got diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer two years ago but one of the new wonder drugs has mostly dealt with it. “Remission” can be a bit vague, though, and definitely doesn’t mean “cured” - my brother’s wonder drug is known to basically stop working after 2-4 years, at which point he’ll have to switch to a different treatment (and hope that it works as well).
Not sure what cancer he has but 6 months is actually roughly the timeline for Hodgkins lymphoma.
Jesus christ my mind wrongly completed that sentence before I finished reading the title…
Oh hey, I hadn’t heard he’s been dealing with cancer. When did that start?
Couple months back.
Go hank!
Damn I heard about 2 weeks ago go a month so this whole ordeal has gone rather quickly for me.
That’s vertical-video-sensation Hank Green!
I seem to be in the minority or not knowing who this is, but I’ll have to check him out after this great news.
Him and his brother have a series of YouTube videos that cover science news and information that eventually became a larger network that covers history and all forms of educational videos. It’s all great stuff and usually around 10mins each!
Ngl I was lucky enough to witness all that firsthand and it was amazing to see how far and how quickly his influence spread.
Fuck yaaaaaa!!
Yay!
