Bill Nye - Call here

Breakfast conversation was on building our own media to get the messages of science application passed along over a wider channel. The project at YC.C is coming along at a slower pace than expected, but that's the way expectation works. It takes seven years to establish a career and ONRRI, the Oregon Natural Resources Research Institute, was founded on Jan 2, 2001. That still leaves a bit more time before i can say we are established.

So i turned to catching up on my science reading and the January 15 issue of Chem and Engineering News had an interview with BIll Nye, a nerd on a mission. Here is somebody who has an established audience in science and he can't get proper funding to convey the principles to the principals of the next generation. Edjutainment is not cool on Wall Street.

Maybe he's difficult to work with? If the man is anything like the ADHD character we love so dearly, that could be an issue! There must be some reason such a talent with an existing audience isn't working anymore.
