Bill Nye the Science Guy®

As a student at Cornell University, Bill Nye the Science Guy^® was introduced to the wonders of astronomy in a class taught by Carl Sagan himself, one of the original founders of The Planetary Society. So, for Nye it was like coming full circle to join the Society’s board of directors and later to become the organization’s newest vice president. Scientist, comedian, teacher, and author, Nye became a household name with his innovative, fast-paced television series Bill Nye the Science Guy. His latest TV program, 100 Greatest Discoveries, airs in eight installments on the Science Channel. Nye earned a degree in mechanical engineering at Cornell University and spent Several years working as an engineer until he combined his dual love of science and comedy to create the Science Guy.

Tomorrow, a short about William C. Deese, T.W. Ray Johnson Professor of Chemistry, Louisiana Tech University, Ruston, who will speak about dead chemists… in New Orleans. Hmmm.
