6 Reasons to Watch Bill Nye Saves the World
The Verge

Odds are at some point in your life you have watched the old Bill Nye the Science Guy. When the teacher wheeled in the TV cart at science time you were ready to shout: "BILL BILL BILL BILL!"

Well April 21st a grown-up version of Bill Nye the Science Guy premiered on Netflix, "Bill Nye Saves the World." There are thirteen episodes and I am going to give you six reasons to binge watch them all (because I already did)

1. It's All Relevant

Bill Nye covers things that are hot topics today. Everything from climate change, vaccines, designer babies, GMOs and more. Even if you already know about these topics, I guarantee you'll learn something, maybe even enough to debate them and educate others. He's explaining the gender spectrum in the photo above.

2. Celebrity Guests

Karlie Kloss, model and programmer, is a correspondent who goes on assignment in several episodes. Other guests include Zach Braff, Steve Aoki, Donald Faison, Rachel Bloom, Tim Gunn, and more.

3. Not so PG Bill Nye

It's hilarious and bizarre to hear sexual innuendos and adult jokes come out of Bill Nye's mouth. Rachel Bloom's appearance comes with a rather adult original song, nothing like the ones we remember hearing at the end of his old show.

4. The Panel

One of my favorite parts of each episode was the panel. Bill sits down with three experts, sometimes on opposing sides of the issue and they discuss. I loved the diversity of these guests and hearing so many perspectives on each topic.

5. The experiments

It wouldn't be a science show without some safety goggles and lab coats, right? From walking on hot coals to debunking alternative remedies the demonstrations definitely do not disappoint.

6. It's Bill Nye

I have never considered science one of my favorite subjects, but as you might remember, Bill Nye makes learning fun. Even as an adult I can appreciate his humor and the way he explains things and breaks them down. I was interested and engaged through every episode.

Get comfortable, blow off your plans, watch Netflix (like you weren't already) and learn a little something from Bill Nye. I will be over here waiting for Netflix to confirm three more seasons.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
