Avis Lang

For the past decade, Avis Lang has been editing and collaborating with the ubiquitous space advocate Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City--initially as the senior editor responsible for his Natural History magazine column, "Universe," and more recently as the editor of their book Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier (W. W. Norton, 2012). Formerly an art historian and curator, Lang is now a research associate at the Hayden Planetarium and an adjunct lecturer in English at the City University of New York.
