NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON, astrophysicist and beloved cultural icon, joined The Common Good for in an exclusive, one-night-only conversation. What other rare genius and charismatic personality can make the cosmos (and a crisis) laugh-out-loud clear?
DeGrasse Tyson is fighting back. Research budgets gutted. Experts sidelined. Climate change, vaccines, evolution—even basic reproductive health—turned into political footballs where evidence is treated like opinion and facts get twisted into ideology.
“If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we're cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America's long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war”, Tyson warns.
With his trademark wit and clarity, there is no one better equipped to confront this moment than Neil deGrasse Tyson.
