Bill Nye the Science Guy

Bill Nye. If you grew up in the 90’s, your brain will automatically recall the words “The Science Guy” – and maybe even the iconic show’s theme song. Bill hasn’t missed a step since his days teaching kids about the earth’s crust, how light works, and so much more. For starters, he’s the CEO of the Planetary Society, which was co-founded by his former teacher, Carl Sagan. He’s taken on the anti-science mongers of the world in interviews. His next book, Unstoppable (out November 10), not only describes him, but tackles what he sees as the biggest problem facing humankind: global warming and those who deny it. On #TuesdaysWithBill, he hits the Twitter-verse with no-nonsense answers to the world’s science questions.

Nye’s sense of humor, intelligence, and willingness to discuss tough issues make him a hit with millennials nationwide and a favorite among USA Science & Engineering Festival attendees. The 18-time Emmy winner has wowed fans since the Festival’s inception, and is projected to attract some of the largest crowds at the 4th Festival on April 16-17 in Washington, D.C.

In this exclusive interview, Nye shares his views on just about everything under (and including) the sun.
