NeilTysonOriginsA-FullSize

Neil De Grasse Tyson is an astrophysicist and director of New York City’s Hayden Planetarium.  Recently, The Alcalde, official magazine of the Texes Exes (University of Texas) declared him the “sexiest astrophysicist alive.” During the interview Tyson admitted to owning about 100 ties, all with cosmic-themed designs.

He translates complex scientific concepts into everyday language, but more than that, he makes science compelling. Really compelling. You might think you don’t care about asteroids, but Tyson will make a believer of you in three minutes or fewer. “The universe wants to kills us!” he proclaims in one lecture. “We’re on a collision course with the Andromeda galaxy. The universe is expanding on a one-way track to oblivion!” Star Power, The Alcalde.

From the photos we can see the elements of Tyson’s style–classics jazzed up with colorful shirts, an array of ties with astronomical designs, and other similar-themed touches like the vest with sun and planets.  They serve him well as a popularizer of astronomy. I love top image with his hand on a replica of a moon or meteorite. Although it’s hard to see the details, the middle photo in the second roll of photos shows him in a jacket with a pattern of different phases of the moon. Tyson should look into Piero Fornasetti’s designs. The Italian designer did a wonderful set of designs with images of the sun and moon. Tyson has appeared on The Daily Show, The Colbert Report and is the host of PBS’s Nova. The PBS site has a video of of Tyson’s office with his vast collection of cosmic paraphernalia.

    I don’t know about romance but havnig a family and havnig a high powered STEM career are definitely seen as incompatible by many women in graduate programs for science. Why?When our graduate program had a meeting to discuss the high female drop out rate (ie leaving with a Master’s Degree instead of finishing the PhD) the professors had a lively discussion while the grad students sat in the back and realized that only one of the female professors on the panel had a happy family life.Add to that the fact that the age at which women are getting married and havnig babies is the same time high power scientists are working 80 100 hours a week.Romance interfering with career? No, LIFE and women’s biology are interfering with a high power science career.

  4. I do agree with all the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They are really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for beginners. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.

    I loved the changes particularly the Universal analytics. Really helped my site a lot. Haven’t tried some of them though. Not sure if they rolled out the complete features.

  6. I understand what you’re saying. For me, this post is about emotional healing. If my readers solely focused on the photos and neglected to read any of the content, it would indeed be unfortunate. My goal for this piece, and all my writing, is to promote courage, healing, and growth — even if against the backdrop of colorful language, stupid jokes, and controversial issues.As for the specific points and questions in your comment, I prefer to discuss that in person with you than here.

  9. LAC,If Jobs did buy his transplant, would that be an example of how the whole system works. For most of what I read in that article, there wasn't anything but suspicion.As an average person I can't judge the diagnosis or speculate. I usually don't try to speculate, because I know that disease can express itself so differently in each individual.

  10. persberichten doen we al een tijdje hoor. En andere blogs ook zo af en toe.Weet je hoeveel belangstelling dat oplevert van kranten en tv?Bij ons tot nu tot niets, nada, noppes.Alleen nu.nl pakt het zo nu en dan op. Gelukkig.Maar in essentie heb je wel gelijk hoor. Het vraagt echter twee kanten. Er moet ook iemand ontvankelijk zijn.En hoe kan je een weblog nou serieus nemen in NL?Als zelfs de vooruitstrevende online journalisten van DeNieuweReporter zeggen dat er geen kwalitatieve NL weblogs zijn?;-)

  13. My brain went to various analogies relating to Luke flying his X-Wing down the channel/furrow/gully/groove of the Death Star, switching his targeting computer off and using the force to drop the torpedo in just the right spot. *sigh* Randy at work – again.

  14. Let Syrians fix their own problems. It is their responsibility and they want better lives. May God bless and help them. No surprises about who is supporting Assad: the other monolithic imperialist and colonialistic empires in this world. Dictators are falling everywhere. Islam, like communism, can be contained. Both are backward looking cultures. Hands off is our best policy. We have a growing constitutional problem here. That can be fixed and soon, I hope. That is our responsibility.

    I have read the post with amazing satisfaction and even could understand something new that I will use
    for your own further requirements. The report is bright and clear, with no added useless facts or else.

    The speech is both brilliant and brilliant, so the longer I see,
    the more I do enjoy it! In any case, the information is rather cutting edge,
    so just like it.
