The man who first taught a generation (or more) of children that science can be fun (especially when you blow stuff up) is gone. Don Herbert, better known as Mr. Wizard, passed away yesterday.
Through his television shows, he made science exciting and accessible to all sorts of children. His influence on pop culture was such that even the sitcom Dinosaurs had its own version of him.
Rest in peace, Mr. Wizard. You were a wonderful educator and entertainer.

It's always sad to lose someone like that. Rest in peace indeed. Maybe he's getting people in the afterlife all cranked up over science now!
