    Posts like this make me think about who will be the David Attenborough, Bill Nye, Martyn Poliakoff etc of tomorrow, and how do we lift them up without politicization?

      The next generation of learning celebrities are already here. I don’t think they will be the same as those in the past though. Video sites allow far more niche versions of these great educators who don’t need to work on getting TV contracts to spread their enthusiasm for their subjects. I doubt future generations will have singular celebrity educators, but a wide array of them that all get to add their own creative touch to learning.

      I’m very excited about it.

      Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown) for example will change future generations’ relationship with learning math. We haven’t have a celebrity math educator before!

        Grant Sanderson is my personal hero! I’ve always had a deep love for maths, thanks to an absolutely stellar math teacher in school, and it’s always saddened me how negatively most people look at the subject! I fully believe Grant’s amazing style of teaching is capable of changing that for people and bringing the beauty of math to the wider world.

        Michael Stevens is definitely up there. He takes a gentle “love your fellow person” approach to things but also teaches so very much.

    Awwww

    I do wish we could afford a few more pixels though. This is a paltry sum.

      I think we’re just supposed to infer something generally heartwarming and nod vaguely and approvingly.

      Because it’s a leaf insect not a stick insect. So the stick name is inappropriate.
