I like Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He’s up there, in my book, with Sagan and Gould and Greene as one of the Great Explainers. One reason, he has a terrific sense of humor.

Mark is a writer and musician living in the St. Louis area. He hit puberty at the peak of the Sixties and came of age just as it was all coming to a close with the end of the Vietnam War. He was annoyed when bellbottoms went out of style, but he got over it.
Thanks for that, Mark! The reason I like Tyson is the same reason that Leonard Bernstein is one of my heros. Great intelligence combined with passion, wit and the urge to help laymen understand!
Yeah, Tyson's a hoot. We need scientists like him to tempt people to take that first step toward learning new things about science.
