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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
