Our Friend Bill Nye Talks About His Origin Story and Becoming “The Science Guy”

As “The Science Guy,” Our Friend Bill Nye helped shape a lot of young minds. (Ours included.) In this new promo for his upcoming episode of the PBS series NOVA: The Secret Lives of Scientists, he talks about how he moved from engineering to science entertainment.

We’ll have some exclusive Bill Nye videos coming your way soon that we shot with him at SXSW, but for now, you’re just going to have to settle for this one. If this isn’t enough for you, PBS will be releasing more videos with Bill over the next two weeks, and so will we!
