“Neil deGrasse Tyson is someone who needs no introduction,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “He is not only one of the most famous and recognizable scientists in the world today, but a visionary who fires imaginations with his ability to excite people about what is possible in the world of tomorrow. We are thrilled to have him join us as we gather to shape the industry’s future at NBAA-BACE.”

Tyson rose to national prominence in the mid-1990s through his submissions to dozens of scientific publications, including columns for Natural History and StarDate magazines. During this period, he also became director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, a position he still holds today.

Tyson achieved further notoriety as host of the four-part, PBS NOVA mini-series “Origins,” based on his book “Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution,” co-authored by Donald Goldsmith. His latest book, “Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization,” links the history of human progress to the importance of scientific exploration and discovery in understanding humanity’s place in the universe.

Tyson graduated from the Bronx High School of Science and went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in physics from Harvard University and his PhD in astrophysics from Columbia University. He is the recipient of 23 honorary doctorates and the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, the agency’s highest award for a non-government citizen.
