Tracy kindly asked: What is your collective beef with Bill Nye the Science Guy?
FYI: Bill Nye is a scientist and former graduate student of Carl Sagan. Bill Nye, like his mentor, is often criticized for being more entertaining and showy even though his medium is science. When Sagan started his TV series on astronomy, many astronomers resented his flashy presentation of their domain to the public even though Sagan did a great service to there field. I went to one of Bill Nye's presentations at a science teachers convention and was even more impressed with him as an educator than when watching his videos. That guy is good! If NASA is going to put a teacher in space, my vote goes to Bill Nye (even though the next TIS (teacher in space) is to be from Idaho).
