6 Reasons to Watch Bill Nye Saves the World
The Verge

Odds are at some point in your life you have watched the old Bill Nye the Science Guy. When the teacher wheeled in the TV cart at science time you were ready to shout: "BILL BILL BILL BILL!"

Well April 21st a grown-up version of Bill Nye the Science Guy premiered on Netflix, "Bill Nye Saves the World." There are thirteen episodes and I am going to give you six reasons to binge watch them all (because I already did)

1. It's All Relevant

Bill Nye covers things that are hot topics today. Everything from climate change, vaccines, designer babies, GMOs and more. Even if you already know about these topics, I guarantee you'll learn something, maybe even enough to debate them and educate others. He's explaining the gender spectrum in the photo above.

2. Celebrity Guests

Karlie Kloss, model and programmer, is a correspondent who goes on assignment in several episodes. Other guests include Zach Braff, Steve Aoki, Donald Faison, Rachel Bloom, Tim Gunn, and more.

3. Not so PG Bill Nye

It's hilarious and bizarre to hear sexual innuendos and adult jokes come out of Bill Nye's mouth. Rachel Bloom's appearance comes with a rather adult original song, nothing like the ones we remember hearing at the end of his old show.

4. The Panel

One of my favorite parts of each episode was the panel. Bill sits down with three experts, sometimes on opposing sides of the issue and they discuss. I loved the diversity of these guests and hearing so many perspectives on each topic.

5. The experiments

It wouldn't be a science show without some safety goggles and lab coats, right? From walking on hot coals to debunking alternative remedies the demonstrations definitely do not disappoint.

6. It's Bill Nye

I have never considered science one of my favorite subjects, but as you might remember, Bill Nye makes learning fun. Even as an adult I can appreciate his humor and the way he explains things and breaks them down. I was interested and engaged through every episode.

Get comfortable, blow off your plans, watch Netflix (like you weren't already) and learn a little something from Bill Nye. I will be over here waiting for Netflix to confirm three more seasons.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
