Neil deGrasse Tyson, famous for the Cosmos reboot (if you missed that, you should check it out) is back on TV with his own late night slot …
…will premiere his new late night program StarTalk on National Geographic Channel on April 20th, according to the cable network. Variety reports that guests will include, “Former US president Jimmy Carter, biologist Richard Dawkins, retired Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, producer Norman Lear, film director Christopher Nolan, and Star Trekactor George Takei.”
The Star Talk TV show is based on his radio show … basically think of it as a mixture of humour and cool science, and that is perhaps the right mix because the essence of education is effective communication such that it grips and inspires, so mixing in humour will greatly help to do exactly that.
