Tyson/Nye 2016

Neil deGrasse Tyson was born October 5^th, 1958 in the manhattan borough of New York City. He was raised in the Bronx. He is the middle child of three born to Cyril and Sunchita Tyson. He was educated in the Bronx, before moving to Harvard and Columbia universities to pursue a degree in astrophysics. He graduated with a doctorate in Astrophysics in 1991. While working on his doctorate thesis, he was part of the group that helped establish Type 1a Supernovae as the standard candle measurement for distance with celestial objects. He is, in my opinion, the closest thing that astrophysics and science in general has to a rock star. He is literate, sharply-dressed, smart, and in a position where he can help scientists achieve the recognition and funding they deserve. I honestly believe that if the American people were to elect Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye to the presidency, we could usher in a new age of innovation, and even the sky wouldn’t be the limit.
