Eh, it's more about the enthusiasm than the qualifications. Plus, while Bill Nye is no angel, at least he's not a Putin supporter.

Nye is more of if an educator than scientist. A lot like your average science teacher in high school.

Dolph is usually posted in this manner to put down Nye's support for climate research, anti creationism, and other 'political' stands.

He's a science guy, not a scientist.

bill nye is not a scientist, and he never claimed to be one. He is a science communicator, a role he has done well for some time.

Same with Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

And he is a Trump and Putin supporter. Fuck him.

to be fair bill nye is using his degree and teaching rather than someone that just ditched his degree after he got it. in a job setting they will take bill nye over someone that hasnt used his degree in a while. some people. one is passionate about the stems while the other ones wasnt, some people get higher degrees just because of pressure in thier social circles and then end up hating it and leaving, there were alot of those people in college.

they are seeing someone as having more prestige and degree means they are more qualfied than someone that has more experience in the field.

Bill is just a science guy after all. Not a science lord.

...Does Bill Nye need more qualifications to be an effective science educator?

What do you guys think is so special about a scientist.

They measure things and record data really well. They apply scientific principles and such.

They use lab equipment and usually have a very narrow scope on the things they are working on.

Do you think every scientist gets a nobel or something?

It's tragic that he never got to play a scientist who could smell crime.

More educated, you mean? Cuz to my knowledge only one of them works in science

He quit the Fulbright thing after two weeks though.

Exponential in which variable?

"Bill nye the science guy"

Fair enough.

Carl Sagan, Neil Tyson, Dora the Explorer. All very important. Be interested in things.

What about a masters in engineering and a bachelor's in chemistry makes him even double more qualified? Yeah, maybe if he had a doctorate you could make that argument, but you could easily learn and do as much science work in 6 years outside of a university than you would in a BS and MS program at a university.

Dolph, Dolph, Dolph!

Dolph Lundgren the science front man.

Its not the size of your knowledge. Its what you do with it that counts.
