(Springfield, IL) — Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is set to headline a spring event at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. Tyson will be this year’s winner of the Lincoln Leadership Prize and will speak after receiving the honor. The plan is for a question-and-answer session with local school kids. The Lincoln library’s foundation announced yesterday that Tyson is receiving the honor for his work in “advancing and popularizing science.”
