Has anyone read any of his books? I heard he's doing a sequel to Sagan's cosmos. Is he this generation's Sagan?

How does you feel about Neil deGrasse Tyson?

Tyson is the shit. Very provocative and knows how to get his point across.

He's not the next Carl Sagan. That's like saying there'll be another Zyzz, there can only be one.

anon is right. /fit/ can't follow anything.

/fit/ compares sagan to zyzz

because zyzz took roids anon protests, saying sagan didn't take roids

/fit/ starts talking about tyson's genetics because he's dumb

Im just sayin, many popscientist's do proclaim certain myths as just myths and I think its a good thing to do as a bonus besides being bringers of knowledge.

That's why popscientists are not real scientists. A real scientist separates his science from other kinds of engagement.

14 year old detected. Put down that edgy attitude. There are things outside of science and every scientist accepts these. Personal beliefs have no place in science. Neither do they belong on this board.

I'm working with actual scientists everyday. Research has nothing in common with the romantic illusion you get from watching pop sci documentaries.

>> No.4550402

ANYWAY

Tyson has brains, that's a given, but he's also got a fair bit of charisma going for him. eh's a cool guy.

Funny... where I'm from people just call them "profs", "postdocs", or "grad students" - not "scientists" :)

You sure you're actually doing research?

Are you sure you belong here?

Name them however you want. People who made a degree in a scientific field and who are doing research can be called "scientists".
