RIP Mr Wizard.

I wonder how many of today's scientists and engineers watched and were inspired by Mr. Wizard.

R.I.P. Mr.Wizard

Many "baby-boomer" scientists will recognize the name, Don Herbert,
aka, "Mr Wizard".

"Mr Wizard" had a wonderful TV show that explained the wonders of science to
young children.
