A LIVE Twitter Chat with Bill Nye the Science Guy, Thur. Dec. 16 from 6-7pm est

US students lag far behind their peers in math and science literacy.  We need to change public attitudes toward these subjects so kids are inspired to take them on. Continuing the conversation we started on November 17 with  Global Online Town Hall, we invite your questions and comments for Bill Nye on this important topic.
