Welcome to my noisy world from the last two months! To be honest, last month was an odd blur. August, however, was much more productive. I was especially excited to be a part of Dragon*Con once again! As usual, I’ll round-up what I’ve written or video-ed in the last two months. Even though I don’t…
Well since August is almost over, I should post my July links, huh? July was a busy month of travel for me. I went to CONvergence in Minneapolis, did a brief stint in the Poconos with Tim and family, attended a virtual conference from home while I was sick, then went to San Jose for…
I travel quite a bunch for this job, as many of you know. So I thought I’d share my upcoming trips as I know I’ll be running into a lot of good friends as I go! July 4-7 – Minneapolis, MN - CONvergence - Part-vacation, part science outreach, I’m going to CONvergence to be a part of Skepchicon and all the science-y…
Cross-posted on CosmoQuest Well hello, everyone. I am finally just about done with pictures and video from my trip to see ALMA in Chile a few weeks ago. I still have some podcast content to cut together and post on our brand new 365 Days of Astronomy website, but I thought I’d share all the…
After telling everyone I’d be at the media/music/explosion that is South by SouthWest (SXSW) for several days, I got this phone call today asking if I’d like to be in Chile that week for the inauguration of the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array, or ALMA. So even though my brain was yelling YES, I sadly declined…
August 7th - Astronomical Society of the Pacific - Communicating Science - A National Conference on Science Education and Public Outreach
Few days… Few weeks. Okay, I’m back. I just moved to the Midwest to start my new job as a post-doc working with CosmoQuest as informal education lead. Woo hoo! My apartment is only partly unpacked, my office just getting set up, the university doesn’t even have me in the system yet, but I’ve officially…
Just got home from a whirlwind of family holiday travel, and I’m not even going to put my suitcase away. In a few days, I’ll be leaving again for the National Radio Sciences Meeting of URSI in Boulder, Colorado. I give a talk there on Wednesday afternoon, then I fly out to Austin two days…
Welcome to my series of posts about my research trip to South Africa in June/July! See also parts one and two and three… (As usual, all writing on this blog is solely my opinion and does not reflect the attitudes of any of my projects, institutions, colleagues, etc…) June 24: Field Work Begins I was…
… says Derek Colanduno, director of the massive sci-fi/fantasy/geek convention’s Skeptic Track. “It’s other people’s Halloween,” quips biologist and evolution defender Eugenie Scott. Frankly, it’s a little bit of both. Not enough candy, mind you, unless you really enjoy Tuaca (which tastes like Christmas in your mouth). But there are costumes… costumes galore! From Storm…
I work for an amazing citizen science program called CosmoQuest. With the rapidly changing funding landscape in the US with regards to science education, we need your help to keep our programs thriving. Your donation will support science education that produces science!
