Bill Nye is a science educator, engineer, comedian, television presenter, inventor, keynote speaker and New York Times bestselling author. As the co-creator and host of the Emmy Award-winning 90’s television series Bill Nye the Science Guy, Nye helped introduce generations of viewers to science and engineering in an entertaining and accessible manner, fostering an understanding and appreciation for the science that makes our world work.

Nye is a respected champion of scientific literacy who has challenged opponents of evidence-based education and policy on climate change, evolution and critical thinking.

In January 2025, Nye was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor, in recognition of his dedication to science education. He currently serves as CEO of The Planetary Society, the world’s largest and most influential non-governmental space organization, co-founded by Carl Sagan.

In addition to his role as a science educator, Nye is passionate about spreading awareness of Ataxia, the rare degenerative conditions of the nervous system that affects his family, and furthering research efforts to better understand it. He is also a long-standing advisor for ExploraVision, a STEM scholarship competition for K-12 students, and an ambassador for Global Citizen, working with the organization since 2015 to help end extreme poverty.
