This guy got Bill Nye into the rap game (sort of)

"Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!" 10/5/18

Beakers, Beats and Bill Nye the Science Guy

Did you grow up learning about science from Bill Nye? Remember that bumpin' theme song? Mike Greene's the guy you can thank for it. After his rockstar dreams finally faded, Mike became a studio producer for major artists like Ice Cube, Cypress Hill and House of Pain, in addition to composing television themes for the likes of Oprah and Dr. Oz. Take a visit to his studio and he might just tell you which rappers made a cameo in the Bill Nye theme. 

The Valley of 2,000 Temples

Once an epicenter for the kingdom of Pagan, this valley is now a majestic, ancient city in the heart of Myanmar. The Bagan archaeological zone was once home to over 10,000 temples built by past leaders of the ancient kingdom. Due to Mongol invasions and earthquakes, only 2,000 remain in the valley. With ongoing restoration efforts, the temples are periodically worked on to prevent any further deterioration.

Explore the Valley Protecting Hawaii's Ancient Plants

For the past 1,500 years, Limahuli Valley on Kauai has been a green haven, a wilderness preserved to exist just as the native Hawaiians experienced it. It is home to plant life unlike anything found in the rest of the world, with many endangered plants thriving in the valley. The Limahuli Garden and Preserve hopes to continue their conservation efforts so these plants can survive for generations to come. Join director Kawika Winter for a tour of this lush nature preserve.
