The Lied Center for Performing Arts and UPC Nebraska will present the virtual event “A Conversation with Bill Nye” at 7 p.m. April 28.

Nye — scientist, engineer, comedian, author and inventor — is a man with a mission: to help people everywhere understand and appreciate the science that makes the world work. Best known as “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” his wit and enthusiasm have garnered 18 Emmy awards. He is also an author and frequent speaker on topics such as climate change, evolution, population, space exploration and STEM education. He is a steadfast champion of critical thinking, science and reason.

In this conversation with University of Nebraska–Lincoln hosts, Nye will address issues of sustainability, climate change and how people can be better stewards of Earth.
