I feel Tyson cares more about the fame and being right instead of actually teaching
I think Hank Green deserves this better than Neil
Agreed. Hank Green has Mister Rogers energy not Neil.
Levar Burton>Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Yknow, that one you could almost get away with by finding some star trek visor clip art.
But, hey, I got my NDT gripes but I am 100 A-OK with him on here. This random meme from the Interwebz.
Why not both?
It's hard to blame Niel entirely but the newer Cosmos was terrible. Nothing of substance and way too much talk about religion. I don't mind Niel but he can really be an insufferable cunt irl
Anyone criticizing with "why do you put x on there but not y" allow me to introduce you to creating your own original content, you can put whoever you want on a picture! It's within your power!
I suppose that might direct the attention of people like you towards yourselves, and that would be awful wouldn't it?
Maybe think on the previous line a bit before you post your criticism, and ask yourself why you haven't made and posted the list the way you'd like it to be.
Reminds me of people harassing the Ladybird browser devs for declining a PR that changed "he" to "they" in the build steps. If you really cared, you would make meaningful contributions to the project before virtue signaling on a text file
Edit: as an aside, I know of an open source project that is only one or two steps away from being affiliated with Nazis. A transgender woman started contributing and now all those Nazi friends respect her. That's how you actually change minds - not by Reeing with zero effort.
Why did you use x and y in your example and not a and b? How am I supposed to accept x and y?!
Oooh y’know who they missed: Steve Irwin. Yeah we’re gonna need a part II.
Crap. Okay who wants to go back to the Meme Council®?
If they include Sagan as Tyson’s predecessor, then why not Nye’s predecessor, Mr. Wizard?
Fair point. Someone please contact the Meme Council®.
I shall blast forth the notes of summoning!
Sagan as Tyson’s predecessor
I assume they include Sagan as Sagan.
He deserves to be in the image as much as anyone else in it, and definitely several orders of magnitude more than Tyson.
Just goes to show how amazing PBS actually is. Most of the people listed on the shirt or in the comments had some kind of an affiliation with PBS. Support your local stations!
Mr. Wizard gets no love. Also, I second the Hank Green > N. D. Tyson motion.
We need to hold people like these in high regard as a society not the constant rotation of pop stars. Funny thing is I can't think of any women that belong on this though most of my teachers were women and they had a profound effect on my life. Dr Ruth Westheimer maybe?
Dr. Ruth for sure. Ms. Frizzle is fictional but deserves recognition. An argument could be made for Julia Child, and Dolly Parton is not primarily known for her free book program but it is incredible.
Jane Goodall
Isn't bill nye a massive arse though irl
I'd be pretty pissed off all the time if I spent years trying to educate children just to watch more than half of them grow up to be complete morons.
Particularly if you’d been talking about climate change for several decades and getting mocked and ignored by morons.
I've also heard that he gets approached a lot by weirdos asking odd questions. Specifically, at one talk, during the Q and A portion, getting asked highly technical questions by adults who grew up watching him and expecting him to be able to respond. I wouldn't put too much weight on what randos on the Internet have to say about his character.
Someone I know met him and their take was "he's even more autistic than I am." I could see people confusing autism for being a jerk.

Coca-Cola paid him to talk plastic.
Wow I'd buy and rock this on a shirt!!
