Humor Bill Nye as He Explains How Superman Shaves

by Susana Polo | 1:16 pm, May 29th, 2013

We answered this question already, but I guess Gillette doesn’t read us very closely because they’re doing a tie-in campaign with Man of Steel where they ask various famous nerds and geeks to posit a theory on how Superman shaves.

Gillette, I want you to know that I expect to see exactly the same campaign, naturally, featuring your Venus sub-brand, if there is ever a Supergirl movie. I mean, she’s the one whose costume bares her legs and bikini line.

Some Men Just Want to Watch the World Learn: The PBS Avengers

by Susana Polo | 1:13 pm, May 2nd, 2013

This might be the best internet video I’ve seen all week. The only way to make it better would be to add Shari Lewis and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. (Look, he hosted four seasons of Nova Science Now, and that’s enough of a technicality to get some diversity up in this lineup.)

Sunita Williams Is Chatting With Bill Nye From the ISS

by Zoe Chevat | 10:15 am, September 13th, 2012

Wonder Science Powers activate! Remember last week when NASA astronaut Sunita Williams helped save the International Space Station with some quick thinking and a toothbrush? Sure you do. Like us, you were very likely overwhelmed by the event’s sheer awesomeness, and near Douglas Adams-ian goofy details.

Well, be prepared for another Thursday science-gasm, because right…NOW (or very, very soon)…you can catch a live stream of Williams chatting live from 250 miles above the Earth on YouTube’s Space Lab, which is hosted this week by none other than fellow household name for pure reason, Bill Nye. In this LiveStream broadcast, Williams and the fellow ISS astronauts will be conducting space experiments proposed by teenage viewers as part of an international contest. The winning experiments, which include Dorothy and Sara of the US (whose experiment has possible applications in germ theory and disease), will be supported by discussions from Nye and the astronauts about the science behind the results.

NASA Wants YOU To Name An Asteroid (For a Disappointingly Fine Definition of “You”)

by Susana Polo | 2:43 pm, September 5th, 2012

There are a lot of reasons why someone might want to change their name. They might no longer feel that their given name describes them very well. They might have gotten married, or divorced, or adopted. They might have lost a bet, needed a publicity stunt, or landed in the witness protection program. Or, they might have a name that everybody around them finds difficult to pronounce or spell, and they got fed up with it.

Case in point: Asteroid (101955) 1999 RQ36.

Bill Nye May Know Science But He Also Knows Bowties, Watch Him Show Chris Hardwick How It’s Done

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:02 am, July 31st, 2012

Bill Nye has been making a name for himself again in the pop-culture realm. The ex-kid’s television host has been giving commencement speeches, helping Neil deGrasse Tyson get a space documentary Kickstarted, and he even has his own informative YouTube videos. But today he’s sharing the screen with The Nerdist, Chris Hardwick, and imparting some serious wisdom. A very important piece of wisdom in fact, that many have let fall into the past. I’m talking about tying a bowtie. And you might even learn a few new words while you watch! There’s just one thing this video is missing – Matt Smith.
