Quick updates! The crowd-funding project for space science, Uwingu, got an extension to their Indiegogo campaign, and they are almost to their goal with just 6 days left! Can you help with a donation? A share? A tweet? I wrote a bit on how you can help science, including with this project, over on Skepchick.…

Ahhh! This is so cool!
The Cassini mission to Saturn. Nine Inch Nails. And a video composition by Chris Abbas. This. Is. Art. CASSINI MISSION from cabbas on Vimeo. Love it so much. (via Discovery News)
Entertaining Skeptically
Brief paper-writing break to showcase my two favorite videos this week. First, Tim Minchin’s STORM has been animated and is finally available on YouTube! Seriously, let the whole thing upload, then watch high-def full screen. It is so awesome. I am floored by the talent of the illustrators and their ability to convey the message,…
Japanese Rock Ode to a Telescope
If you love music and astronomy, this is the coolest video you will see all day. If you love music and radio astronomy, this is the coolest video you’ll see all month, at least. The Japanese rock band ACIDMAN released an album called ALMA late last year. The video for the title track is actually…
Entertain Me
There must be a way to stay sane amongst the insanity of teaching. If there is, I haven’t found it yet. But, two things that have helped are new works from two of my favorite artists! TREBUCHET is out! Fans of George Hrab have been chomping at the bit for this album to come out.…
Listening "Above the Sky"
While I was at the #SDOisGO tweetup, I got to meet a really cool, fun, and sweet musician who drove all the way through the snow down from Jersey to be there. Yes, I am talking about the lovely CraftLass! She has released her new album of folk pop, science and space songs, called “Above…
Science Meets Art – "Poetry of Reality"
Symphony of Science has done it again… Wow. Yeah, what they said. Don’t forget to check out the first four: A Glorious Dawn, We Are All Connected, Our Place in the Cosmos, and The Unbroken Thread. (via Bad Astronomy)
Astronomy Songs – Part I
For those of you that follow along on twitter, a little while ago I asked for some help finding space and astronomy songs for our Dark Skies, Bright Kids end of semester party. And did I mention that my twitter friends are freaking awesome! I got TONS of lists and suggestions and promised to compile…
Another Defense of Science
I was taking a break the other day and following some fun Twitter links to a story about Eddie Izzard’s marathon of marathons, which is a really cool and inspiring story. (Sorry, I don’t remember who tweeted it first!) This is just days after I watched “Circle” again, and nearly spilled my wine laughing at…
Blog on vacation…
Hey all, it’s been a while again. I’ve been sloooowly getting things done at work. As Swoopy aptly puts in the latest Skepticality (106), When I get to talk to scientists, often they are in the lab and they are taking a break from research. What are they doing? They are running samples, they are…
Help CosmoQuest
On March 22, 2013 we found out that many NASA EPO programs will be suspended as a direct result of US budgetary sequestration. We are proactively working to raise money to make sure that CosmoQuest can continue to support its staff and its programs.
Your donation will support science education that produces science!
Total Raised: $3,385 (as of 2pm CDT, 4/18/2012)
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…
