I just understood that for the us ( and possibly the other english speaking country) bill nighy was an "ambassador of science to the young"
So i'm curious what was your "science guy",not necesserely a guy with a show , but someone whose widly consider as an ambassador of science for an entire generation
As for us in France (quite possibly the other french speaking countrys)
We had a guy name jammy who was from a show name "its not sorcelery " (basicaly "it''s not complicated"). That show was frequentely aired on tv and maybe once a year in school (one of the many épisode coresponding to the subject).
He even got is own show , and, jammy being a rare name, hé became somewhat of an expression , its commonly understood that if your talking about jammy its him.
There is even a whole sarcastic comment "mais oui jammy!" Witch was regularly said by his cohost that can bé said either to make fun of someone spreadint Theere science or as a joke when interupting or talking after a long science rant.
Yeah so what would be your science guy in your country/language ?
