That changed, she said, when she was over at his apartment one afternoon in 1984. They were both black students in the majority-white astronomy department at the University of Texas Austin at the time, and Tyson was “like a big brother” to Amet, she told Vox in 2018. Whether one-time or monthly recurring, every one makes a difference toward sponsoring our modestly-budgeted program.When they were in graduate school together in the 1980s, Tchiya Amet says she looked up to Neil deGrasse Tyson. Planet Waves FM is distributed without profit by Chiron Return, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation devoted to integrity in journalism. The Atlantic has also done some detailed reporting.Ī commentary on Science20 is encouraging Tyson fans to demand the full report on the investigation, and there is a petition in support of releasing the full results. In our interview, Tchiya references a Buzzfeed investigative piece two years in the making that was killed and then revived when other credible accusers came forward.
Tonight’s interview covers what Tchiya says she told investigators. We might ask: why conduct an investigation when the results won’t be made public? Now the Fox and Nat Geo investigations are done, though the networks won’t release the results - yet Cosmos (the revival of the program begun by Carl Sagan) is set to resume broadcast imminently. Amet says he drugged and raped her, which she first stated publicly in 2010 at an event in San Francisco.įox, National Geographic and other organizations who air Tyson’s work commenced investigations. Last year, published reports emerged wherein Amet and three other women accused Tyson of sexual transgression. Then I move on to the interview, which is played without interruption or editing. I begin with an astrology introduction, which looks at the Sun’s passage through the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, and through the Pluto-Eris square, peaking between Wednesday and Sunday (in full force and effect now).
Tchiya Amet, our guest on tonight’s Planet Waves FM. Back in 1984, she was friends with Neil deGrasse Tyson in graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin. Tonight’s program is mostly devoted to an interview, with a woman named Tchiya Amet. Use this link if you’re listening on an iOS or mobile device.
