RIP, Mr Wizard
Goodbye to a 90-year old pioneer of informal education. Though i was personally never a big fan of his TV show, Don Herbert changed the face of science education forever. I might not have a job now if it weren't for him. So thanks, Mr Wizard. Let's all blow something up in his honor.

I have no idea who he is.
Neither do I...and I'm in the field!
Check here to learn about Herbert:

(IIRC, he may have been a guest on Letterman's first show!)
Blow something up in his honor, Niki? Done and done!
