Science rules! 🔥 Bill Nye has officially been immortalized in wax at Madame Tussauds New York 🔬✨
Celebrating the legendary science educator whose passion for curiosity and learning has inspired generations, Bill’s new figure captures his energetic presentation style in an interactive experience designed to encourage guests to step closer, engage, and discover.
Created in close collaboration with Bill himself, the figure features a classic look donated by Nye and was brought to life over the course of a year by more than 20 talented artists. 🧪
#BillNye the Science Guy x2! 😱 And yes, this means you’re a big deal @billnye ! PEOPLE caught up with the iconic science educator at the reveal of his wax figure at Madame Tussauds. 💙
@billnye , Chief Ambassador of @planetarysociety , turned our studio into a rocket science lab, teaching some young science students about how NASA sent the Artemis II crew into space, around the moon and back to Earth.
This was the ultimate House tour 😉 Today was our Day of Action. Where over 130 members from all over the nation joined us to advocate to Congress for NASA science! Thanks to all who joined us either in person or by virtual actions. Let’s Save NASA science! 🚀🪐

We’re headed back to the Moon with the launch of Artemis II! I remember the first Moon landing like it was yesterday - it inspired generations and changed the world - I know this one will do the same.
Wow. A Lifetime Achievement Award, all? I’m humbled. I put everything I had into the TV shows I’ve worked on, and I loved making shows that encouraged kids to embrace science. Thank you to the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. I’m honored to be recognized in this way. It’s yet another reminder of the impact we can have on those around us when we invest in science education - because I believe it can change the world.

15 years ago, I was asked to take on the role of chief executive officer of The Planetary Society. At the time, I did not feel especially qualified as a producer, host, and head writer of a kids’ show, but the board had faith in me, and so I had faith I could do it. Over these 15 years, I’ve had the honor of working alongside the smartest and brightest people, and ensuring our space advocacy is unmatched in our reach, credibility, and impact. Evenmoreso, I’ve come to understand that we have a chance to save the world.
My time as CEO has been wonderful, but it’s time for me to step aside. While I will no longer be in this role, I won’t fully be leaving The Planetary Society. I’ll continue serving on the board of directors and will transition into a new role as our first chief ambassador. In this position, I’ll represent our organization publicly, keep in close communication with our members, and continue to champion space exploration in the halls of Congress. Our remarkable chief operating officer, Jennifer Vaughn, will take over as CEO. She has been my closest partner in leading the organization and is a natural leader with a clear vision for the future. We could not be in better hands.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey with me. We’ve done some incredible things together, from launching Light Sail 2, to raising our collective voices to save NASA funding last month. If that’s not the best way to close this chapter, I’m not sure what is, but I look forward to all the things we will continue to accomplish together. Science rules.
