As a kid in the Bronx, Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson was expected to become a star athlete. Instead, he overcame the misperceptions of a young person of color and became an astrophysicist and the youngest-ever director of New York's famous Hayden Planetarium. Tyson is also involved in several programs that bring science to inner-city schoolchildren. He's the on-camera host of Origins, the upcoming PBS-NOVA mini-series on the universe.
