Bill Nye the Science Guy is known all over the world. What are your thoughts on how he got started with his career?

[jacqueslin]

I loved Bill Nye. I still remember watching his little shows in class. His fun and entertaining videos successfully reached out to me. Hence, the reason why I am trying to become a scientist.

[adamemac]

A couple of fascinating guys sitting around talking about fascinating stuff. I also grew up watching Mr. Wizard, though I'm not as old as Mr. Nye. He had a way about him that always intrigued me.

I remember when Bill Nye was on Netflix and when I was like four it was the greatest thing ever and I would really want that to come back like I really do😢

[davidbuschhorn]

Bow ties.... they're cool.

[BigBoss]

Being an engineer is being a scientist... Especially if you're a mechanical, electrical or structural engineer...
Example... MIT ... A lot of science is going on there being done by engineers.

[abdulkrmzgul]

[iAsifsheik]

Pure love to Neil deGrasse Tyson. My Inspiration. My Teacher.

[gigawertz]

Nye was always one of my childhood idols, with Bob Ross and David Attenborough...

[flameobmo]

I'm in confusion why there's such a bad thing about Bill engineers are just as important as scientists no?

[distantsolarsystems]

Im honestly disgusted by the amount of hate he’s getting in the comments. A scientist is someone who studies science. Bill studies science, even if he doesn’t have a goddam PhD! Everyone is just bitter because you can’t grip the fact that you put him into a category that he never had.

[gnrrpreacher]

Science + Politics is much like Science + Religion...

[tat]

We always watch his videos in class this guy is great
