THE LATEST BOOK - adapted from the Prologue I'm Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist and servant of those who are cosmically curious. My latest book is "Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives on Your first Alien Encounter." When a space Alien demands, “Take me to your leader!” what should you do? We presume it wants to meet the person in charge: The President. The Prime Minister. The Monarch. The Pope. Eavesdropping on our cultural norms, the Aliens might instead conclude that pop culture icons were in charge, such as Oprah, or Taylor Swift. Think of "Take Me To Your Leader" as a book of etiquette and scientifically infused insights for that first encounter, from an astrophysicist who wants to meet the Aliens as badly as you do. BRIEF BIOGRAPHY Neil deGrasse Tyson was born in New York City the same week NASA was founded. His interest in the universe traces back to age 9, after a first visit to the Hayden Planetarium of the American Museum of Natural History. He was educated in the public schools of New York City through his graduation from the Bronx High School of Science. And after an BA in Physics from Harvard and a PhD in Astrophysics from Columbia and a Postdoctoral research fellowship at Princeton, Tyson became the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, where he has served since 1996.
