Talk about science with everyone you meet. Especially talk about climate change. It needs to become a part of our everyday conversation (the way it is everywhere else in the world).

BILL NYEI speak with dogs frequently. They don’t really talk, but I feel they’re communicating.
BILL NYEWe need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need engineers that can build stuff and solve problems.
BILL NYEMillennial voters are very concerned about climate change and will vote for candidates who are planning to address it. But the systems that are in place.
BILL NYEThe oncoming trouble I speak of is climate change. It’s going to affect all of you in the same way the Second World War consumed people of my parent’s generation.

BILL NYEThe Earth is not 6,000 or 10,000 years old. It’s not. And if that conflicts with your beliefs, I strongly feel you should question your beliefs.
BILL NYEIt fills me with joy to know that we can pursue these answers. It is an astonishing thing that we are — you and I are one of the ways the universe knows itself.
BILL NYEI am so old, I entered engineering school with a slide rule. And I left engineering school with a calculator. I can still use a slide rule but it’s not a skill you especially need anymore.
BILL NYEEveryone you will ever meet knows something you don’t.
BILL NYEIf we raise a generation of students who dont believe in the process of science, who think everything that weve come to know about nature and the universe can be dismissed by a few sentences translated into English from some ancient text, youre not going to continue to innovate.
