Jelani Nelson recently completed his doctoral studies in the Theory of Computation group at CSAIL in MIT, where he also completed undergraduate studies in mathematics and computer science (2005), and received an M.Eng. In computer science (2006). Jelani's research has mostly focused on the development of efficient algorithms for massive datasets, and especially algorithms that use little memory and require only a single or few passes over the data (so-called "streaming algorithms"). Jelani will spend the next two years doing postdoctoral work at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Princeton University, and the Institute for Advanced Study before joining the computer science faculty at Harvard.
Is the sun yellow? Like in those pictures you drew as a kid? The answer is no. On this StarTalk explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice investigate the true color of the Sun.
Neil explains why the Sun’s true color is white. You’ll learn how the atmosphere takes the Sun’s white light and turns it into something else. You’ll also learn why the blue sky is stolen sunlight.
Lastly, Neil gives us a photography lesson and tells us how photographers deal with different light. We investigate indoor vs. outdoor light. All that, plus, Neil explains why snow being white is evidence of the Sun’s white light.

🛑 WE. ARE. LIVE! ⚔️👸🏾⚡️ Order Malika VOL 4 via Kickstarter today (contains Vols 1 - 3 as well) here http://bit.ly/malika4yt
⭐️ WHAT IS MALIKA?
The Malika series showcases the majesty and awe of West Africa (past, present & future). The story, costumes, character design, set pieces, etc. highlight a rich diversity of culture and tradition based on real history, culture and mythology.
Order here today: http://bit.ly/malika4yt
⭐️ WHAT'S VOL 4 ABOUT?
VOL 4 continues Malika's story as she desperately tries to find a way to finally end the Divine Wars that has ravaged the earth from the shadows for so long. A feat that even the ancient gods themselves have failed to achieve.
Order here today: http://bit.ly/malika4yt
⭐️ WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Four years ago, we launched our very first Kickstarter for Malika (volume 1), and since then, the amount of love we've received from the community has been nothing short of amazing. Not only have we had three successful Kickstarters, sold over 100,000 books and won several awards for the different volumes since then (including Story of the Year at the 2020 Glyph Comic Awards), but we were also able to create an animated pilot that's based on the book. And to date, it has over 600,000 views on Youtube and counting!
It's safe to say that the Malika series has become a fan favorite in the indie comics community over the last few years, and I'm happy to say that Volume 4 DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.
Trust us, if you're into epic fantasy, Afrofuturism, stories inspired by African history/mythology, or a combination of all three, then you'll LOVE the Malika series.
