"Robo Cimone" started as a Halloween costume in Uni but lived on to make appearances at other events on campus. I spent 80 dollars in material to save 2 dollars on the campus Halloween party if you showed up in costume. The battery back was 25lbs lol. Still my fav costume. 🤖

An update to the "Two ways that I explore the Universe" post with a new ride in front of the SFU #TrottierObservatory. Beats the bus (I still support mass transit infrastructure).

I'm making plasma - thousands of degrees - in a microwave at @spacecentreyvr.bsky.social. This one of the demos I did for our Cosmic Nights event this past Friday. Going to post a longer explanation but was excited to share a bit of it first!

On #labourday, I reflected on my role at our Planetarium as a Union Shop Steward. Our union plays such an important role in our workplace. Union membership has been in decline for decades - it's no surprise that power is being further concentrated into fewer people. Solidarity! #laborday #unions

Voice Acting lessons at Vancouver Film School. I enjoy narrating planetarium shows, conversations about the Cosmos at the observatory, podcasting. I've been inspired by animation/videogames and thought my voice experience could be transferred to acting as well-bringing inspiring characters to life.

Spent a lot of time with this one. It might have been a triangle, but it was the box art in our hearts.

A decade ago today, we made our closest approach of Pluto with the New Horizons mission. The probe was in transit for 9.5 years before arriving and is our only visit to the icy dwarf planet.
This was one of the iconic images taken. Find more here:

Alternative search engines. Going to be keeping this in mind when working with kids at the Planetarium. They are more suspicious of information online confused about truth. Curious young minds are being frustrated by AI generated nonsense. When in doubt, Wikipedia is also a great source. #scicomm
