● The March for Science was a moment made for Bill Nye / WaPo

GreenPolicy360 Siterunner / SJS: It's about passing a torch forward. A light, a love of science. Many years ago I was fortunate to edit Don Herbert, who was Mr. Wizard on NBC then Nickelodeon. I was a young editor in NYC and Don as Mr. Wizard, and a master teacher, 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 everyday lives and to show them, scientifically, how observations and facts can bring understanding of scientific truths, theories and the "big picture".

Bill Nye, the Science Guy, also was inspired by Don Herbert and spoke 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 continue to inspire 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.
