Bill Nye's guy: Popular TV show scientist throws support behind President Obama

ROCHESTER — President Barack Obama's re-election campaign is calling attention to public education issues this week with a school bus tour and a visit from children's television host Bill Nye.

Nye, a well-known science educator, visited the Seacoast Science Center in Rye on Monday to discuss President Barack Obama's commitment to science education. He was accompanied by U.S. Congressman Rob Andrews, D-N.J., a ranking member of the House Committee for Education and the Workforce.

Then on Wednesday, the campaign held a bus tour with five stops around the state, including visits to Portsmouth and Rochester.

Every Friday, in 4th grade, we watched his show! I remember it so well. We'd go grab our lunches and take 'em back to the room and then watch it. Memories!
