Ann Druyan is the writer, producer, director, and one of the most
important and impactful communicators of science in our time. She
co-wrote the 1980 science documentary series Cosmos hosted by
Carl Sagan, whom she married in 1981, and her love for whom, with
the help of NASA, was recorded as brain waves on a golden record
along with other things our civilization has to offer and
launched into space on the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft
that are now, 42 years later, still active, reaching out farther
into deep space than any human-made object ever has. This was a
profound and beautiful decision she made as a Creative Director
of NASA’s Voyager Interstellar Message Project. In 2014, she went
on to create the second season of Cosmos, called Cosmos: A
Spacetime Odyssey, and in 2020, the new third season called
Cosmos: Possible Worlds, which is being released this upcoming
Monday, March 9. It is hosted, once again, by the fun and
brilliant Neil deGrasse Tyson.
