Bill Nye in BILL NYE: SCIENCE GUY

Wed. Apr. 18 at 10pm on WKAR-HD 23.1 | Follow Bill Nye as he seeks to change the world through science.

Bill Nye is on a mission to stop the spread of anti-scientific thinking. The former star of PBS KIDS’s Bill Nye The Science Guy now runs The Planetary Society, where he’s launching a solar propelled spacecraft into the cosmos and advocating for science, research, and discovery. 

In addition to taking off his signature “Science Guy” lab coat, Nye has started taking on those who deny the importance of science, from prominent creationist Ken Ham to climate change skeptic, meteorologist and occasional Fox News commentator Joe Bastardi. Nye goes head-to-head to advocate for the scientific community and its invaluable findings.

Together we’ve already reduced WKAR’s $1.6 million budget gap created by the loss of federal funding. With your sustaining support we can close the remaining $500,000 gap and keep trusted public media strong for mid-Michigan. The best way to support WKAR is to become a sustainer. Already a sustainer?
