Inslee meets with 'Science Guy' Bill Nye at Mount St. Helens
LONGVIEW —A governor and a science guy walk in front of a volcano. The rest of the conversation was no joke.
Gov. Jay Inslee and Bill Nye “the Science Guy” held an event Thursday at Johnston Ridge overlooking Mount St. Helens. The two spoke about their shared interests in outdoor education, addressing climate change and increasing the number of COVID-19 vaccinations.
The Governor also gave Nye a pin and named him the honorary Washingtonian of the Day for his work as an inspirational local science figure.
The major point of the two’s appearance was to demonstrate the success that outdoor education could have. Inslee said that hands-on outdoor lessons, whether at a small pond near the city or at irreplaceable locations like Mount St. Helens, could spark a major interest in science and education among kids.
