Bill Nye and Degrasse Tyson are exactly the type of scientists we need more of these days. While they may not be the most accredited individuals in any one field, they are still both extremely intelligent and can communicate with the public better than the vast majority of their peers. We need guys like them to not only bridge that gap, but to influence a new generation to take up science. Watching them deal with kids gives me a bit more faith that we won't end up down the path of Idiocracy
