One of the most prominent science communicators in the world, Neil deGrasse Tyson has spent much of his career sharing his knowledge with others through his incredible talent for presenting complex concepts in a clear, accessible and engaging manner. After studying at Harvard University, he earned his doctorate from Columbia University in 1991. Tyson went to work for the Hayden Planetarium in 1996 before becoming its director. He served as host of NOVA ScienceNow on PBS and is the current host of the StarTalk Radio podcast. On April 5, Tyson will present Astronomy Bizarre, which delves into the long, and sometimes scary, list of crazy objects and phenomena in the universe, like black holes, dark matter, dark energy, white holes, wormholes and multiverses. Prepare to expand your horizons as he challenges our understanding of civilization through the lens of science and ignites curiosity about the unknown.
