          So science teachers also shouldn’t teach science because they’re not scientists?

          That’s not what “qualified” means.

          People don’t need to meet the definition of being a scientist in order for them to be educating others on scientific topics.

          He’s not teaching advanced science concepts, you don’t need a background in science to teach bog-standard science to children

          Science Guy is there to get kids excited about science, not to enforce scientific rigor

        And he’s an astrophysicist. So according to this guy he is even qualified to be talking about science

      Bill nye isn’t a scientist but he still taught science and neither Ross nor rogers are scientists either so what’s the point of making that distinction then immediately ignoring it?

      And Jean Claude Van Damm was a dancer first. Who the hell cares? They inspire people to explore science and teach the fundamentals of science. Nowhere in the meme do they claim to be anything other than inspiration.
