“What matters is: Are you a good problem solver? Are you
moral? Are you a hard worker? Are you a good leader? Do you have
insights into the field? These are the questions that
matter.” — Neil deGrasse Tyson
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse
Tyson (@neiltyson) was appointed the Frederick P.
Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium in 1996. Dr.
Tyson’s professional research interests are primarily related to
the structure of the Milky Way galaxy, and the formation of
stars, supernovas, and dwarf galaxies.
Dr. Tyson graduated from the Bronx High School of Science,
received his BA from Harvard, and earned his PhD in astrophysics
from Columbia University in 1991. In 2001 he was appointed by
President Bush to serve on the 12-member Commission on the Future
of the United States Aerospace Industry. In 2004 Dr. Tyson
received a second appointment from President Bush, this time to
the nine-member President’s Commission on the Implementation of
the United States Space Exploration Policy (dubbed the “Moon,
Mars, and Beyond” commission). In 2016 he was appointed by the US
secretary of defense to be an advisor to the DoD on the future of
sci-tech innovation.
Dr. Tyson has been awarded 21 honorary degrees as well as the
NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, and he has authored
multiple books on the universe, including Space Chronicles:
Facing the Ultimate Frontier, Death by Black Hole and Other
Cosmic Quandaries, which was a New York Times bestseller,
and The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America’s Favorite
Planet, chronicling his experience at the center of the
controversy over Pluto’s planetary status.
His newest book is Letters from an
Astrophysicist, a companion to his 2017
bestseller Astrophysics for People in a Hurry.
Since 2006 Dr. Tyson has appeared as the on-camera host of
PBS-NOVA’s spinoff program NOVA ScienceNOW. He also hosts a
popular radio show and podcast called StarTalk in
addition to the Emmy-nominated StarTalk TV show on
National Geographic.
In 2014 Dr. Tyson hosted a reboot of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos.
