With the hiatus from travel, I’m actually getting some things done around here, including blogging! I wrote a piece for Discovery Space News on hidden black holes and shared my experience as a skeptic on a ghost hunt over on Skepchick. So go read them. Or not. Whatever floats your boat.

South Africa to Vegas to Lake Wallenpaupack
Greetings! Oh how I’ve missed blogging, though I’m sure I was hanging out with a good chunk of my readers at The Amazing Meeting 9 in Las Vegas last week. Now, I’m taking some much deserved downtime at Lake Wallenpaupack in Pennsylvania with Tim and family. Of course, downtime also means catch-up on blogging time,…
Astronomers Without Borders
Hey! Just a quick note to plug a really cool organization called Astronomers Without Borders. They asked me to write a guest blog for them for Global Astronomy Month, and you can see that here. I’ll be crossing some borders of my own as I head off to South Africa in late June! Dates are…
CapeNerdGirls meet Discovery
Four women. Four Ph.D. projects on hold. One car (minus one bumper). One space shuttle orbiter on its final mission. Memories to inspire for a lifetime. Thus begins the story of this week’s adventure on Discovery Space. We dubbed our road trip “Cape Nerd Girls” after my brother posted a Facebook comment asking where in…
#SciO11… Be There!
Update 1/13: Would help if I use the proper hashtag in the title. Fixed! With one trip done, I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s road trip to Science Online 2011 in North Carolina. This is my first time at the “open conference” or “unconference” about communicating science on the internet. There will be museum tours,…
SkepTales, Woo OOO ooo!
(With apologies to Duck Tales.) My recent skeptical confession prompted the bad-ass-ness himself, Phil Plait, to call for people’s skeptical stories on Twitter. The abbreviated format allowed for cleverness, rhyming, and some careful thought about what to say. The response was AMAZING. Almost 500 people shared their personal stories, from the “aha!” moment to the…
Beam Me Down the Rabbit Hole
On October 9th, 2010, I went down the rabbit hole. I went to a Mutual UFO Network conference. … Thus begins my take on a very strange Saturday. Read the entire article over at SheThought!
I am a Grass-Stained Skeptic…
Wait, no that’s not right. I am a Grassroots Skeptic. Check out my guest post over at GRSkeptics on my skeptical nature, and how I think working with kids in our astronomy program can help grow little skeptic-lings. And a tiny plea for help with our voting-drive. Yay! After a session with our DSBKers, my…
I'm not a TOTAL Blogging Slacker…
Despite my inactivity over on this blog (shameful, I know), I’m still out and about on the internets. Once I got back from my crazy-busy teaching semester, and a busy-then-relaxing two weeks in NY and PA, I got back to my regular blogging over at Discovery Space. The latest is a summary of the astronomy…

About Nicole Gugliucci
I’m a brand new post-doc in astronomy working as part of the CosmoQuest team. My thesis focused on radio astronomy instrumentation. That means, I got to build cool telescopes that will open up new frontiers in the universe. I also love to teach, both in a classroom setting and informally. I'm happy to talk about the universe with anyone who will listen, and I am skeptically curious about all things.Also blogging at…
