The following interview with Bill Nye the Science Guy is the first in Skeptic’s new series of Science Dialogues, hosted by Skeptic magazine Publisher and Skeptics Society Executive Director Michael Shermer. The conversation took place on December 18, 2016 at the offices of the Planetary Society, for which Nye is the CEO. It was filmed by the Skeptic Societies’ videographer Brad Davies and is posted at Skeptic.com. The conversation has been lightly edited and shortened for print. The impetus for the conversation was the announcement of the spring 2017 premiere of Nye’s new Netflix series Bill Nye Saves the World.
