“Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t.”
Bill Nye (1955- )
A Washington, D.C. native, Nye graduated from the Sidwell Friends School before attending Cornell University, where he took an astronomy class from Carl Sagan and ultimately received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. He began his career at Boeing, where among other tasks, such as 747 hydraulic systems design, he made training films for other Boeing engineers and clients. This work led him to science education in general and in 1993 he created the series “Bill Nye the Science Guy”. His mixture of comedy and hard science made this show a hit on PBS and in schools as a teaching aid. Nye continues to advocate the teaching of science to children at an early age as a method of developing reasoning. He has publicly debated creationists and refutes their opinions at every opportunity. Nye holds a number of diverse patents and is in demand as a commencement speaker.
