    Nye is more of if an educator than scientist. A lot like your average science teacher in high school.

    Dolph is usually posted in this manner to put down Nye’s support for climate research, anti creationism, and other ‘political’ stands.

      Wait why? Does he not support those views?

        His views are easily found online. I’m commenting on the side by side comic meme and its implications.

    What do you guys think is so special about a scientist.

    They measure things and record them really well. They apply scientific principles and such.

    They use lab equipment and usually have a very narrow scope on the things they are working on.

    Do you think every scientist gets a noble or something?

      Scientist isn’t a thing. It’s like artist, a self-designation.

      • Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        No, its a thing, people have the title “scientist.” Its just a job, tho.

        He’s explicit about being a science communicator and welcomes that discussion.

      • Blueberrydreamer@lemmynsfw.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Based on what exactly? I’ve gone to one of his events, he’s pretty explicit about being a science educator. I can’t say I’ve seen him claim otherwise anywhere, though people definitely like to put those words in his mouth.

    Eh, it’s more about the enthusiasm than the qualifications. Plus, while Bill Nye is no angel, at least he’s not a Putin supporter.

    • LikeTearsInTheRain@lemmynsfw.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Bill Nye is an entertainer / educator. I’ve met plenty of people with PHDs and masters who couldn’t present a basic concept because they’re too caught up in technicalities and not understanding what it’s like to teach and get people interested in something.

      • RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I’ll happily take a minimally qualified Science Guy that inspires thousands or millions of people to get into science than the most sciency scientist in all science that only ever inspired people to punch people.

    • bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Is there some controversy around Bill Nye that I haven’t heard?

      He has been a leading science communicator covering hundreds of topics for many decades, and is only human, of course there are going to be shortcomings.

      • Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        He has a reputation of just being an unpleasant dick and difficult to work with. Nothing super problematic to my knowledge, just a bad personality.

        Having personally interacted with him more times than I would like, and it was only 3, he’s just a massive jerk, and a self assured belittler.

        He doesn’t respect people. I’m not sure he respects anyone other than those that can make his image better, and then it’s conditional and stops when they aren’t useful.

      I could only find this:

      nymag.com/…/dolph-lundgren-putin-sniper-rifles-in…

      It mentions only Putin (which also sounds like a joke) and it’s from 2013 (before the annexation of Crimea).

      Is there any more, and preferably recent, info?

        2013 was still after 2008 invasion of Georgia and many other signs that Putin is a ruthless dictator tbh. In 2017 he said Russia is lucky to have Putin.

    IQ 160, speaks 6 lenguages, Black Belt in several martial arts, in the making of the Rocky movie, Stallone wanted for realism that Lundgreen give him a real punch, after this he woke up in the hospital.

      Instead, Lundgren found himself at the centre of one of New York’s most romanticised periods. He dabbled in modelling but was too tall and big for most gigs. He earned a basic wage alongside Chazz Palminteri as a bouncer on the door of Manhattan’s Limelight Club. By night, he hung out with Keith Haring, Iman and Steve Rubell. By morning, [Garace] Jones would bring back as many as five girls for group sex, an activity he describes as “exhausting”. He was a regular at both Studio 54 and the Factory, and Andy Warhol would invite him to do a photoshoot with Jones. But not before Warhol asked him: ‘What are you famous for?’

      “It was certainly a shock for this young engineering student,” he says. “I’m pleased to have been part of that scene. It was right before Aids, and the club scene was hardcore. And my girlfriend, Grace, was a big gay icon, so we went to a lot of the clubs. We knew Andy and all the designers, and Michael Jackson and David Bowie. It was simpler in those days somehow. And fun. Entertainment wasn’t corporate in the way entertainment is now. A lot of the people I met back then are not alive anymore. You know, Aids or drugs or a combination of the two. Its bittersweet looking back. Even with Andy. I thought he was an old man at the time but he died in his 50s.”

  • hobovision@mander.xyz ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    What about a masters in engineering and a bachelor’s in chemistry makes him even double more qualified? Yeah, maybe if he had a doctorate you could make that argument, but you could easily learn and do as much science work in 6 years outside of a university than you would in a BS and MS program at a university.
