Must Watch: Dawkins, Nye, Tyson, and Stephenson Discuss Science and Storytelling

Must Watch: Dawkins, Nye, Tyson, and Stephenson Discuss Science and Storytelling:

science-junkie:

Highlights include:

    Ira Flatow greeting Neil deGrasse Tyson with a fist bump.
    Richard Dawkins being Richard Dawkins
    Bill Nye being Bill Nye
    Starry Night
    The importance of educating women in science
    Neil deGrasse Tyson flipping out at Lawrence Krauss and Brian Greene about the motivations behind big-budget science
    Tyson and Krauss bickering about pretty much anything (there’s a lot the two don’t see eye to eye on)
    When you should and shouldn’t respect other people’s opinion
    The role of science-/speculative fiction in communicating and understanding science (Dawkins, for one, claims he came to understand information theory through SF. Bill Nye thinks contemporary scifi cifi could stand to return to its days of intense optimism, as characterized by Star Trek.)
    And much, much more
