GreenPolicy360 Siterunner / SJS: It's about passing a torch forward. A light, a love of science. I was fortunate to edit Don Herbert many years ago, who was Mr. Wizard on NBC then Nickelodeon. I was a young editor in NYC and Don, as Mr. Wizard, taught me about science as we did our books. His "hands-on" Book-Labs were designed to inspire kids, to take what was in their lives and to show them the 'big picture' and theory.
Bill Nye, the Science Guy, also was inspired by Don, speaking of how Don was one of the keys to Bill's career going forward.
Let's take a moment to tip our green hats h/t to these great science teachers who are inspiring generations.
Question: Bill, what "drove" you to create the Bill Nye show? Did "Mr. Wizard" have any play?
Bill Nye: Oh, yes. As I said, Mr. Wizard, Don Herbert, sent this country to the moon. I had dinner with him a few months ago, and he told me he was very pleased my show had come along to carry the torch. It was really moving for me.
