Kari Byron will be the host of an all new show which is aimed at getting middle-school aged kids interested in science. A few examples of what Head Rush will show is some of the science behind fainting goats, a beast that lays eggs inside tarantulas, and the amazing strength of egg shells. It will air each day from 4-5pm with no commercial interruptions.

Though Byron is a huge fan of famous TV science educators like Bill Nye the Science Guy, she also thinks there's a lot of room on TV for a new kind of role model to help show kids why science is fun and exciting, and who is not the sort of typical "nerdy white guy" that has so long been associated with TV science education.
And that's particularly important today, she said, in an age when 12-year-olds are inundated with glamor everywhere they look on TV, from Paris Hilton to movie stars. "I'm not your typical talking head," she said. "It might spark an interest" in kids.

But id rather look at her, than some old crusty science guy! hehehe

Why? Because she doesn't act like a typical television whore?

IMHO that's always been a plus in my book.
 
why does the video sound like the intro to every porno I've ever watched (including the guy behind the camera)
 
Already got Season Pass set up for the kids. :)
 
But will she still get to shoot assault rifles and blow up C-4 from time to time?

i was thinking the exact same thing. I was expecting the next line to be "well lets see them" and slowly start taking off her shirt.......:D

Sad, but true.

She'll never replace Bill Nye for sheer awesomeness though.
 
Actually i preferred Mythbusters when all the "myth-terns" were used just as that.. as interns. I really dislike the way the show is run now where there's a disconnect between working environments between the two groups Jamie & Adam's myths then the other 3 guy's myths. In fact Grant is the only one I actually respect out of the three as far as a hands on "scientist", the other two it seems so obvious that they're reading cue cards or spouting off rehearsed lines.

Yeah Kari is a red-head, cute, really nice jugs after popping out a kid, but she really needs to be a background character rather than the main focus. She got this job because she's "hot" so whether she acts like a whore or not she's treated like one.
 
^^ that rant aside, if it gets kids going into science and math then all the better.

For me it was Don Herbert aka Mr Wizard that got me interested, but that's because of what was done, not because he had a cute ass.

This. Research has shown that we are falling behind in the number of kids interested in the math and science fields. I remember seeing an article about it a few months ago where Obama's Education Adviser actually referenced it as a matter of national security.
 
I know she's always had my undivided attention whenever I watch mythbusters. Hot in an understated way is definitely my preference as apposed to the whored out plastic bimbo's usually on television programs.
 
I have to laugh as she was not what got my attention on mythbusters, what got my attention was the high speed footage of umm pretty much everything, i <3 high speed shots of random things lol
 
Will definitely watch this show. Hoping Mythbusters will come out with new stuff too.

Also: MILF!

Every little bit helps, but until more parents stop trying to pawn off the entirety of their kids' education on schools and schools stop focusing on self-esteem crap and go back to the education basics, most our children will continue to be put out into the "real" world with little or no skills to handle it.
 
I hope stuff like this is successful. It's really pretty sad that the "business" college is the fastest growing at my university. The USA has been tanking in science and engineering for a while now--I remember my high school physics class 13 years ago had ZERO females, and of the guys that took it, I think only 4 of us went on to study a hard science or engineering.

Not at all, but if you like to fantasize over an over-excited kids TV presenter, then that's up to you!

And you can be sexy without being a slut or simple. Maybe a point lost on some :rolleyes:
 
Grew up watching Bill Nye. Hope this show serves a similar purpose for the current generation of aspiring scientists (or really just intellectually curious people).

hahaha. i was just about to post this same thought.

sounds like a Bang Bros video.

i was expecting her to take her clothes off after that
 
if things don't work out for her, she can become a mime artist.

she never stops moving those hands and arms........... with a cherry on top.
 
I see a potential problem:

1. Put a sexy smokin' hot babe like Kari on the show, the horny teenage boys will be too busy FPS'ing to her (if ya know what I mean LOL) and not paying attention to the actual content.

2. Put a butt ugly woman on the show, the horny teenage boys might not watch it. LOL
