  1. Neil deGrasse Tyson: Making science communication look easy

    Posted by nSCI
    / October 1, 2012
    Neil deGrasse Tyson may be America’s best-known and most influential science communicator — the obvious successor to the mantle held by Carl Sagan in the 1980s and early 90s (indeed, Dr. Sagan tried to recruit Tyson to do his undergraduate studies at Columbia where Sagan was a professor, but Tyson...

  4. Groups Call for Scientists to Engage the Body Politic

    Posted by nSCI
    / August 8, 2011
    When asked to name a scientist, Americans are stumped. In one recent survey, the top choice, at 47 percent, was Einstein, who has been dead since 1955, and the next, at 23 percent, was “I don’t know.” In another survey, only 4 percent of respondents could name a living scientist....
