Keeping It Real with Senator Cory Booker and Neil deGrasse Tyson

Описание: Minutes before taking the stage at StarTalk Live! at the historic Apollo Theater in New York City on May 28th, 2015, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson sat down to chat with guest Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey. It turns out the two friends each take a very personal approach to their involvement on Twitter. They discuss how they got started on Twitter, and the importance of authenticity and being honest. They talk about the opportunity of engaging directly with their followers, for both scientists, politicians and celebrities, and the responsibilities that come with that opportunity.
But that’s not all.
The conversation quickly becomes personal, and we get to see the two discuss their parents, their generations – Neil is a Baby Boomer and Senator Booker is Generation X – and finding purpose and power in one’s life. Finally, Senator Booker takes advantage of the opportunity to ask for Neil’s scientific opinion about one of the Senator’s deeply held spiritual beliefs. Enjoy this glimpse behind the scenes that even the fans in the seats of the Apollo that night haven’t seen… until right now.
