Bill Clinton on Star Talk with Neil DeGrasse Tyson [View all]
Yet another upside to having Hillary in the White House...
Bill Clinton was the "guest" on a recent Star Talk episode. Bill demonstrated his broad grasp of things scientific and it reminded me that he would be a tremendous asset in the White House to further the interests of science. I think we know that practically any Republican would be willing to slice science budgets, along with every other budget, to give more tax cuts to the wealthy.
One idea Neil mentioned in this show was establishing a "Chief Science Advisor" to the President, and put that person in the Cabinet with the other important department heads. Many other western nations already do this. A science advisor? I can her the Repubs laughing from here.
If you can "unlock" this episode by listing your TV provider, you can view the entire episode. Bill does science proud.
Host Neil deGrasse Tyson features his interview with former president Bill Clinton, who was a strong advocate of science education and advancement during his two presidential terms.
