Taking Risks with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye

Is risk taking built into the human genome? Who makes a more attractive mate and whose genes are more likely to be passed on: the exciting caveman explorers who go over the hill in search of adventure, or the more conservative cave-accountants who stay behind? Find out in our latest “How Tweet It Is” segment, when Neil and Bill compare their own definitions of risk – and why Bill became an engineer in the first place. This "How Tweet It Is" segment was included in our episode, "Cosmic Queries: A Stellar Smorgasbord."
