bill nye is not a scientist, and he never claimed to be one. He is a science communicator, a role he has done well for some time.

Same with Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Neil does have a PhD. in astrophysics, however.

Neil regularly gets osmosis wrong and thinks it/distilled water can "suck minerals" from your body, something I was taught repeatedly in basic A&P, biology, and chemistry, that isnt true bc osmosis is the movement of water, not solutes.

Neil regularly says super dumb shit lol I don't subscribe to him but I see random clips of him talking sometimes and not getting things right
