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.

Local journalism matters—and it’s at risk.


WKAR brings you trusted news, without barriers—no paywalls, no corporate spin. But now, federal funding that helps make it all possible is on the chopping block. Your support is more important than ever. Stand up for independent journalism in mid-Michigan—make your gift today.
