The Voice of Neil DeGrasse Tyson

"Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance." - Neil deGrasse Tyson



In difficult times that often do not make sense, it is always good to have people like Neil DeGrasse Tyson, an accomplished and respected individual who uses his influential voice to promote simple common sense for the country.

His words have served, at least on some level, to restore a measure of balance to a country that desperately needs it.  And he has particularly pronounced that point when it comes to science, and popular perceptions of science in the United States in the present era, where it is too often distorted in order to serve some self-important agenda.

Here are some cool links regarding Neil DeGrasse Tyson that were worth sharing:
