An American mechanical engineer, science communicator, and television host by the name of Bill Nye the Science Guy, William Sanford Nye was born on November 27, 1955.
He is most known for his roles as host of the scientific television programs Bill Nye the Science Guy (1993–1999) and Bill Nye Saves the World (2017–2018) on Netflix, as well as for his numerous appearances as a science educator in popular media.
Jacqueline Jenkins, a WWII codebreaker, and Edwin Darby “Ned” Nye, a World War II veteran who worked as a contractor constructing an airstrip on Wake Island, were both present when Nye in Washington, D.C.
While living without electricity or watches for four years in a Japanese POW camp, Ned learned to tell time by casting the shadow of a shovel handle, which sparked his fascination for sundials. Jenkins-Nye was one of a select few young women, known as “Goucher Girls,” who attended Goucher College in Towson, Maryland, and were recruited by the Navy to assist in deciphering codes used by Japan and Germany.
