Dropping Science With Neil deGrasse Tyson - Episode 3

Dropping Science With Neil deGrasse Tyson - Episode 3

In this episode I had the pleasure to meet with Neil Degrasse Tyson, who gives me the lowdown his life as a science communicator, the incredible explosion of technology that we're all living through, and the little inspirations that guided his career along the way. It's a fascinating look at what drives one of the most famous science communicators in the world.
