NEW YORK - Nyenta -- Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson to Receive 2025 Reach the World Cronkite Award

In 2015, Dr. Tyson was awarded the National Academy of Sciences' prestigious Public Welfare Medal for his extraordinary role in exciting the public about the wonders of science. His informative and compelling appearances on television and digital media have inspired generations to look up at the stars — and within themselves — with curiosity and courage.
"Neil deGrasse Tyson has dedicated his life to making science accessible, inspiring millions to see the universe as a place of endless curiosity and learning," said Heather Halstead, Founder and Executive Director of Reach the World. "His work mirrors our belief that awe and discovery should be part of every student's journey."
Dr. Tyson also serves as the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History and is the bestselling author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry and Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization. He has brought science into mainstream culture as host of the Emmy-nominated podcast StarTalk and Cosmos, a reimagining of the classic series originally hosted by Carl Sagan. A recipient of 27 honorary degrees and numerous national honors, Dr. Tyson continues to shape how we view our place in the world and help future generations develop a sense of wonder and possibility in their learning journeys.
