Recanati-Kaplan Talks

An Evening with Neil deGrasse Tyson: The War on Science

Jan 21, 2026

Please submit questions for the speakers in the chat starting on January 21 at approximately 6 PM ET.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, the renowned astrophysicist, bestselling author, and one of the most compelling public voices in science, comes to 92NY for a wide-ranging conversation about reclaiming truth in an age of misinformation, and why a passion for science has never been more essential.

Tyson has spent decades translating the grandeur of the cosmos to a human scale. But as misinformation runs rampant across social media and a growing mistrust of science spreads through our culture and politics, and funding for science research is being cut across our government and institutions of higher education, the basic tenets of understanding who we are and where we stand in the universe are being steadily eroded.

Join us as Tyson takes on the new war on science in America with clarity, humor, and urgency. He offers a bracing look at how we got here, what’s at stake, and how a renewed commitment to evidence and curiosity can help chart the way forward — in the pursuit of truth in the natural world, and the worlds beyond our planet.

This program is part of 92NY Recanati-Kaplan Talks.
