Today I got to see rough cuts of two professional on camera science projects I’ve been working on and coordinated maybe my biggest TV opportunity to date and I’m just over the moon. 🥹 I can’t wait to share with you all.

These videos NASA put out summarizing the research that each space station crew works on during their 6 months to 1 year on board are always my favorites!!!
I get so excited seeing all these previously unreleased science clips. youtu.be/qGLi-prnxDE?...

Gotta give a shoutout to my husband @alexknightbooks.bsky.social for his fantasy book launching today, Servant of Rage! ⚔️
We both work from home so I get to see how much work, dedication and care goes into the books he crafts. (And sometimes I even get a midday break to help name a goblin or two)

After talking with @erinwinick.bsky.social I can’t stop thinking about #parabolicflight. Who needs gravity anyway?

One of my favorite events is my monthly business lunch with @erinwinick.bsky.social. It’s an essential (and delicious) part of living in a household where we’re both self-employed.

Years ago I wrote my dream book with my husband, @alexknightbooks.bsky.social. It’s a middle grade adventure featuring kids transported to a science world, and learning STEM superpowers to rescue their grandma. We worked hard to make it fun and accessible.
But sadly we’ve never found it a home.

I have a few long form articles I worked really hard on in 2024 that I’m pumped are going to be in some rad magazines this year!
One will be my longest piece I’ve written for Make Magazine and I can’t wait for you all to read it. It heads to print this week!

I love space robots, so I have to introduce you to some of the first robotic residents of the International Space Station.
Meet the SPHERES, launched to station in 2006, to help with a number of microgravity research studies.

The @esa.int Gaia satellite will take its final scientific measurements on Wednesday. 🔭
This will conclude a 12 year series of continuous observations.
Larger Gaia data releases are still in progress, but Gaia has already had a HUGE impact on our understanding of the #milkyway.
