About this listen

 Bill Nye is so much more than The Science Guy. He's an activist, a performer, a leader and changemaker. He brings his sprit and tenacity to everything he does, including being a guest on podcasts, like ours. He currently serves as CEO of The Planetary Society, a role he took over from Carl Sagan, a mentor from his time at Cornell. In this episode, Jim and Bill are talking about why Science Still Matters. Why it has always mattered. Why the fight to trust in it matters now more than ever. Tune in to meet the guy behind bowtie. The cultural icon who taught kids to love science. On that path, he's won 19 Emmys, received a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star and The Presidential Medal of Freedom. It's the honor of a lifetime to have him on Get Real. In this episode, hear 1. His origin story 2. How winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest was the gateway into standup comedy and ultimately a TV show 3. The work he does to raise awareness for Freidrichs Ataxia 4. Why Jaylen Brown, NBA star, gave a speech at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony 5. What's at risk for the US with this potential budget cuts for NASA
