Following our September cover story featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson as our guide for “How To Be An Expert In Anything”, Popular Science sat down with Tyson for breakfast at the 21 Club in New York on Friday morning.
Beforehand, we had asked all of you to share your questions for Tyson on Twitter using #AskPopSci
. As usual, Tyson charmed us with his thoughts on everything from scientology to STEM education. Here we’re sharing a few of our favorite moments. You can also watch the entire event on Periscope.
Tyson kicked off breakfast with some thoughts on inspiring people to learn science.
