I watched Bill Nye the Science Guy even though it was geared to a younger audience. I appreciate what he has done to promote science to kids. Congrats Bill!!

My home is filled with Bill Nye videos (my son's favorite). Because of him my three year old can explain the difference between complete and incomplete metamorphosis, has some understanding of thermodynamics, and knows just about everything about the solar system. Congrats Bill!
