The only guy I like on this is Bob Ross and Mr Rogers
I don't even know who the guy is besides "want"
ndt has sexual assault allegations
bill nye is a engineer not a scientist and the science guy is only a stand up comedy act
So, Is Bill Nye a Real Scientist?
While Nye is absolutely an engineer, the Science Council defines a scientist as “someone who systematically gathers and uses research and evidence, to make hypotheses and test them, to gain and share understanding and knowledge.”
^ https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/is-bill-nye-the-science-guy-really-a-scientist
A program with an actual scientist is Scope with Dr Rob
Bill nye isn't a scientist but he still taught science and neither Ross nor rogers are scientists either so what's the point of making that distinction then immediately ignoring it?
You don't like Carl Sagan?
"To bake cookies from scratch, begin by first creating a universe."
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.
Who's the one with the turtleneck?
Carl Sagan
This is a great poster. Thank you!
(But perhaps embarrassingly, I don't recognise the top left guy.)
Mr. Rodgers!
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!
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®?
What did he teach? How to jump on any crocodile? How to annoy every animal? This guy was laughed at in Germany, I still wonder what makes him a hero in the US.
You've just insulted an Australian and I would gladly call you the c word but lemmy rules
I will gladly take the additional unt, because I probably deserve it! Have a nice day. :)
He taught us all life is beautiful. He taught us that we should appreciate the hell out of it.
Maybe this message got tainted a little by the fact, that he wasnt able to respect the animals. Whatever, may just be different cultures. Here we show love to nature by silently watching the animals, and to try not to interrupt them to much, but that doesn't make for a exciting tv-show.
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.
Dig this either way honestly.
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.
Why did they put xy on there but no xx?
Why did you use x and y in your example and not a and b? How am I supposed to accept x and y?!
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 Ree
ing with zero effort.
This is rad! The content and the design are just so satisfyingly excellent.
Mr. Wizard gets no love. Also, I second the Hank Green > N. D. Tyson motion.
That's not how you take a heroic educator out of context, this is how you take a heroic educator out of context:
That can't be real, no chance. I refuse to believe it, regardless of context.
Honestly, the context is as innocent as everything else Mr. Rogers did. He was singing the song "Where is Thumbkin," which involves lyrics for each individual finger. There's pretty much no way to sing the song without doing that.

I think Hank Green deserves this better than Neil
Agreed. Hank Green has Mister Rogers energy not Neil.
I feel Tyson cares more about the fame and being right instead of actually teaching
I’ll disagree.
Man I knew this would bring out the trolls.
How is an arbitrary list of people able to rile folks up so much? If you think Green or Cox deserves a place on a list over some of these other people: MAKE YOUR OWN LIST, you could do it with just as little effort as it takes to criticize someone else for contributing content.
Don't know why your getting butthurt over ppl critiquing content on a website thats built around creating and engaging with content and their creators.
This is like getting pissed ppl don't like your painting after hanging it in gallery. You don't want ppls opinion leave your shit off the internet
I think he can be a bit of an ass, but he is also the victim of out of context clipping a lot.
Wow I'd buy and rock this on a shirt!!
If they include Sagan as Tyson’s predecessor, then why not Nye’s predecessor, Mr. Wizard?
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.
I’d agree with you, but much of the younger generation didn’t have the pleasure of growing up with him. Many youngsters only know him as the “pale blue dot” guy.
Fair point. Someone please contact the Meme Council®.
I shall blast forth the notes of summoning!
