Chances are many college students had at least one day in grade school in which their teachers pulled out a TV and turned on an episode of âBill Nye the Science Guy.âÂ
The Lied Center for Performing Arts and the University Program Council gave students a chance to learn a few more lessons from the guy himself in âA Conversation with Bill Nyeâ on Wednesday night.
In the virtual conversation, senior Brittni McGuire asked Nye about his take on climate change, his past experiences in Nebraska and how he began in the entertainment industry.
Nye said even though climate change has been happening since the atmosphere was created, the speed at which the Earth is heating up should alert people. He said if something isnât done soon, our entire food system will be affected, and he encouraged everyone to vote in their elections if they want to make a change.Â
