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.
...Does Bill Nye need more qualifications to be an effective science educator?
im not a scientist but my data points indicate that this meme fucking sucks
I'mma need to see Dolph in a bow tie...
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?
Exponential in which variable?
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.
Wait why? Does he not support those views?
His views are easily found online. I'm commenting on the side by side comic meme and its implications.
He's a science guy, not a scientist.
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.
Is there some controversy around Bill Nye that I haven't heard?
He has been a leading science communicator covering hundreds of topics for many decades, and is only human, of course there are going to be shortcomings.
Having personally interacted with him more times than I would like, and it was only 3, he's just a massive jerk, and a self assured belittler.
He doesn't respect people. I'm not sure he respects anyone other than those that can make his image better, and then it's conditional and stops when they aren't useful.
Source or GTFO. Spreading rumours about people is a shitty thing to do.
I'll be nice, but nobody owes it to you to source everything they say or look things up for you. Googling isn't hard.
This is confirmed by a search that's faster than your comment so where's your anger coming from?
There was a clickbait NY Post article that I'd never link to, this article(archive) is more even handed.
And he is a Trump and Putin supporter. Fuck him.
Source?
Oof. Didn't know that
There's no evidence for that anywhere. Always ask for a source.
He took his role in Rocky IV too seriously.
Dolph or Bill?
IQ 160, speaks 6 lenguages, Black Belt in several martial arts, in the making of the Rocky movie, Stallone wanted for realism that Lundgreen give him a real punch, after this he woke up in the hospital.
Instead, Lundgren found himself at the centre of one of New York’s most romanticised periods. He dabbled in modelling but was too tall and big for most gigs. He earned a basic wage alongside Chazz Palminteri as a bouncer on the door of Manhattan’s Limelight Club. By night, he hung out with Keith Haring, Iman and Steve Rubell. By morning, [Garace] Jones would bring back as many as five girls for group sex, an activity he describes as “exhausting”. He was a regular at both Studio 54 and the Factory, and Andy Warhol would invite him to do a photoshoot with Jones. But not before Warhol asked him: ‘What are you famous for?’
“It was certainly a shock for this young engineering student,” he says. “I’m pleased to have been part of that scene. It was right before Aids, and the club scene was hardcore. And my girlfriend, Grace, was a big gay icon, so we went to a lot of the clubs. We knew Andy and all the designers, and Michael Jackson and David Bowie. It was simpler in those days somehow. And fun. Entertainment wasn’t corporate in the way entertainment is now. A lot of the people I met back then are not alive anymore. You know, Aids or drugs or a combination of the two. Its bittersweet looking back. Even with Andy. I thought he was an old man at the time but he died in his 50s.”
Point to Lundren for epic party stories.
It's tragic that he never got to play a scientist who could smell crime.
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.
He quit the Fulbright thing after two weeks though.
Choice. A bold choice. Not a negative.
Dolph, Dolph, Dolph!
Dolph Lundgren the science front man.
If you read BS as Bullshit, it makes it better.
My brain has always translated BS to "Bastard Studies." I genuinely have up take a beat when someone says they have a BS in something so I can remind myself science bachelor
I always read it that way. Why not just call it B.O.S or remove the abbreviation?
The same reason the National Aeronautics and Space Administration isn’t NAASA.
