Korshub's take
Science as a human story
Hank Green's 46 episodes treat the history of science as a social and historical subject, one that changes from culture to culture. The series is based on a well-known university text on science and technology in world history, so it draws on a scholarly foundation.
What the series asks you to consider
- What counts as knowledge, and how that idea has shifted over time
- How scientists shape society, and how society shapes them in return
- Who has been excluded from scientific work, and what remains unknown
It suits students of science, curious general readers and anyone who has wondered why scientific ideas changed the way they did.
