“Bill Nye is proof that deep down science is still cool,” one Twitter user wrote, while another added, “Bill Nye the science guy? Nah, bill nye the fly guy.”
Other fans called his runway walk “so pure,” while a fourth said that Nye was “living his best life.”
The runway had a special meaning for Nye, as the show benefitted the Prostate Cancer Foundation, an organization that funds research to find a cure for the disease.
