Astrophysicist, Author & Science Communicator

Today’s guest first sat in the London Real hot seat almost ten years ago, and to say the world has changed a lot since then would be an almighty understatement. We are experiencing a huge shift in the way we live our lives, from our day-to-day conveniences and social structures, to our working environments and how we conduct commerce.

So it’s with great pleasure that I finally welcome Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson back onto the show. Neil is an astrophysicist, planetary scientist and celebrated author, who is credited with popularising science in the mainstream media and is roundly considered America’s most well-known scientific mind.

Neil was born and raised in New York City, and it was here, at just nine years of age, that he first visited the Hayden Planetarium and a lifelong love affair with the Universe began. In a seamless twist of fate, Neil now serves as Director of that exact same institution, a role he has held since 1996.

Neil is a heavyweight in scientific circles, his passion and thirst for discovery knows no bounds and is something that has made him a hugely popular figure in the public consciousness. His enthusiasm is infectious, and his desire to encourage others to think outside their narrow sphere of experience is rarely deterred.

“We are part of this Universe; we are in this Universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the Universe is in us.”

His career thus far, is one of enormous success and achievement, from being appointed by then-President George Bush to serve on a twelve-member commission that studied the Future of the U.S. Aerospace Industry in 2001, to answering the call once again three years later and serving on a nine-member commission on the Implementation of the US Space Exploration Policy, dubbed the “Moon, Mars, and Beyond”.

Alongside this, in 2006 Neil was approached by the head of NASA to serve on its prestigious Advisory Council which guides NASA through its perennial need to fit ambitious visions into restricted budgets.
