We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. - Bill Nye

I might be trying to change the world, but I also better be funny while I'm doing it. I've never lost sight of that.

Nye grew up in a science-minded family in Washington, D.C. His mom was a math and science whiz. His dad manufactured sundials. His grandfather was an organic scientist. Fittingly, one of young Bill’s favorite hangouts was the original Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, which looked like a small Quonset hut.

When people start rejecting the fundamental understanding of the world that scientific process brings you, well, that's bad in my opinion.
