Our Speaker Today

He’s a respected science communicator who first became known to many PBS viewers for his appearances on NOVA. He’s written books, hosted podcasts and become the heir apparent to the late Carl Sagan. But back in 2013, Neil deGrasse Tyson addressed the 100th commencement of Rice University. He spoke of NASA, the space race and America’s exploratory compass. Watch the director of NYC’s Hayden Planetarium eloquently and entertainingly express his erudite views in a manner that is totally deGrassian.
