There are people in my family whose skin is so bad from hormonal issues that basically no level of sunscreen will entirely keep them from burning. They've instead had to learn their limitations on how long they can stay in the sun at any one time.

He very nearly approaches the "Let's learn about it!" angle pretty much every time, but phrases it in that way that makes you just want to give him a wedgie and tell him to gently caress off. He very could've easily phrased this as something like "While total solar eclipses visible from the United States are somewhat rare, total solar eclipses themselves are quite common! Once every 2 years!" and been regarded decently well. But he had to go and be a turd about it.

Fuckin' hell dude, let people enjoy things, especially science things you twit! He's just being the living version of "technically correct is the best kind of correct", like any good scientist stereotype. I remember him going on The Daily Show and saying that the planet Earth model in the show's opening spins the wrong way around. Also, at least he's talking about astrophysics this time.

NDT and BN literally try to teach literal children very very very basic stuff so if you're in awe of them for some reason, as an adult, you should probably concentrate on hell of improving your country's educational system because those things? They are literally for literal kids. And they should be unnecessary.

Billy Nye was so irritating as a kid and the best part about him was you could totally zone out because it was a tape. Then when I grew up I found apparently americans loved him and it was very bizarre

Then when I grew up I found apparently americans loved him and it was very bizarre Bill Nye was nice because it was a PBS show that wasn't about learning things about friendship and behaving and poo poo. I was never too big on Bill nye myself, but he's at least a decent TV presenter. As far as science shows for kids, though, Beakman's World was where it was at. I actually tried to go out as him for Halloween once, but we couldn't afford enough dye to change my mom's old lab coat green, so I just went as a regular lovely doctor. Jerry Cotton posted:David Attenborough, on the other hand... I'm glad that BBC America is starting to do their own poo poo and keeping Attenborough instead of having Oprah or Siguorney Weaver talk about animals on Science channel.

It was almost fascinating. Jurgan posted:Hell no, Beakman was... well, he was okay, but the show was way too much about terrible comedy skits that add nothing to the proceedings. Exactly, it was fun and funny (for a kid). Which Nye was not. I wouldn't take science advice from Beakman, for sure, since the guy is primarily an actor, but the show was definitely more fun to watch.

Mikl posted:I'm ridiculously light-skinned, and this is the first year I didn't get even a little bit sunburned. Thanks, SPF 70 Man, where do I find that? I've never seen SPF 70 for sale. A few years ago I had a lab partner from India, who was dark-skinned as far as Indians go, and I recall us sitting in the sun outside to eat lunch and do some work together once. And she was vaguely worried about getting darker, because that's "ugly" in her mind. And I was just at a complete loss for words, because one she was an incredibly drop-dead beautiful girl, and two I hadn't put sunscreen on that morning, because it had been overcast, and I was vaguely worried that if we spent an hour out in the sun I'd come back pink. But you know, there we were, enjoying the sun anyway. It was a nice day.

I got curious about this one, and it's kind of almost based on truth if you squint and tilt your head and chop off the last sentence: Dude is actual science guy Tyrone Hayes, who did get hired to study atrazine. What he claims he found in frogs was hermaphroditism and chemical castration, not homosexuality, and his results haven't been replicated, but hey, it's a weird science conspiracy theory that's almost based on reality!

Drawing half-assed conclusions from half-read, irreplicable studies that arguable prove some made up point about some assumed thing from some imagined agenda is kinda what American scientific discourse is all about these days.
