Ethan Hernandez brings environmental science to the masses

"Nakagaganda ng buhay ang may alam." 

Viral content creator, University of the Philippines Los Baños professor, and forester Ethan Hernandez shares his journey from overcoming poverty, including sleeping in an abandoned train station, to becoming a leading voice for environmental literacy.

Ethan tells Howie Severino how he developed his distinct animated style of storytelling, including incorporating the scientific names of trees in familiar songs.

With over 1.3 million followers, he goes beyond science education to shape public opinion on critical environmental issues such as mining, deforestation, and Pax Silica.

He talks about training the next generation of science content creators as a vital strategy to combat the plague of online disinformation.
