After an hour watching Bill Nye answer questions from University of Georgia students during his virtual conversation with University Union, itâs clear the fast pace and quick wit of his show reflects Nye in real life.
The event, held on Thursday, was put on by University Union in partnership with the Office of Sustainability and UGA Student Government Association. Nye appeared on Zoom from an apartment overlooking New York City, sporting a teal bow tie with blue and white stripes.
Nye started off the evening with two experiments, both of which he referred to as âstupid fun.â In the first, Nye attempted to blow out a match while holding a spatula between his mouth and the flame. While he failed on his first attempt, he found success when he switched out the spatula for a glass cup. The air was able to travel around the round edge of the glass to extinguish the flame.
