Bill Nye on Saving The World

Richard Dawkins
About this episode

Bill Nye The Science Guy is a cultural icon, and it was my honour to award him the Richard Dawkins 2023 award at CSICON for his exemplary work in making scientific knowledge more accessible. We spoke about everything from life in outer space, to climate change, to improving governance and the quality of life on earth - and how creating a scientifically literate society is, truly, the key. _______________________
