Television presenter Bill Nye is set to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at the 4th Annual Children's & Family Emmy Awards next month, reported Variety.

Bill Nye is being honoured for his work as a science educator, engineer, television presenter, inventor, and New York Times bestselling author.

His TV credits include 'Bill Nye the Science Guy,' among other shows; in 2025, Nye was honoured with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Biden. He was included on Time 100 Health, has a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and served for 15 years as CEO of The Planetary Society, a non-governmental space organisation co-founded by Carl Sagan, Variety reported.

"Mr. Nye is one of the most revered broadcast educators in television history, having instilled multiple generations of children with an appreciation for the extraordinary world of science.

Bill Nye called the award a huge honour in his life, having dedicated his career to television.

"This is quite an honour. Thank you. As you may know, I pretty much put my heart and soul into all the shows I've worked on. I believe that the scientific method is the best idea humans have ever had. I loved making shows that encouraged kids of all ages to embrace the P, B, and J, the Passion, Beauty, and Joy, of science, while also showing that you, the viewer, can change the world. I've spent my life doing what I love, and this award is not only a celebration of my past work, but a reminder of the impact we can have if we choose to invest in science education and the next generation of leaders," said Bill Nye as quoted by Variety.

While I appreciate his work, I do wish Indian science educators and communicators like Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam or Dr. Yash Pal received similar global recognition. Our own scientists have done phenomenal work in inspiring generations.

Well done, Bill Nye! His quote about the Passion, Beauty, and Joy of science really resonates. In our education system, we often focus so much on exams that we forget the joy of discovery. We need to incorporate that spirit.
