Bill Nye the Science Guy held one of his science-based entertainment shows April 2 at the Reno Events Center.
The show, which featured questions about science, particularly climate change, COVID-19 and space, was supported by the Associated Students of the University of Nevada (ASUN) and the Office of the Provost at the University of Nevada, Reno, according to a university press release.
“We are extremely excited to bring someone of Bill Nye’s stature to the Wolf Pack community,” Austin Brown, ASUN president said prior to the event. “We grew up watching him making science entertaining and accessible to all of us. At the university, we strive to provide an educational experience as engaging as those of Bill Nye.”
Nye is a scientist, as well as an engineer, comedian, author, and inventor who has helped cultivate a love of learning for many people and an appreciation for science, the release stated.
“Bill was a huge hit when he came to campus a few years ago,” Jeff Thompson, provost at the university, said in the release. “It’s great to have him back to share his humor, knowledge and entertaining look at science with our community.”
