I received BS degrees in Physics and Astronomy/Astrophysics, with
a
Math minor from the Pennsylvania State University in 1997.
I've worked at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center during the summer
of 1996 and from 1997-present.
Some recent highlights:
- A profile of me on NASA.gov
- A NASA.gov
feature on my first flash telescope game, Scope It Out.
- A NASA.gov
feature I wrote on the visit that the NASA Blueshift team took to
the set of the CBS show, "The Big Bang Theory." Set
photos, blog
entries, and interview
with the exec producer, Bill Prady. We've had lots of the stuff we've
brought/sent them appear on the sets of the show!
- I edited together a number of podcasts
for Blueshift, but First
Light, Last Paycheck had one of the more complex stories to tell and
so it is one of the ones I'm proudest of. (I also got the chance to touch
real Hubble
hardware!) On the other hand making a Blair
Witch parody when we highlighted Building 2 was pretty epic too.
- Other podcasts I edited: At
the Edge of Space (interview with astronaut hopeful, scientist Joe
Hill), A
Meeting of the Minds (tour of the AAS meeting), Looking
Back to the Future, And
the Award Goes to... (award show parody with serious John Mather
interview), Blueshift
Goes to the Movies (one of my favs for humor), Making
Data Beautiful, 400
years, 100 hours (in which we talk with a fake Galileo), and Zooming
Through the Universe.
- I got to help out with the filming of a Late Night with Jimmy
Fallon segment, "Hubble Gotchu". Blueshift
behind-the-scenes blog and a
follow-up.
- Actor Seth Green visited Goddard and I got to meet him! And there's
video evidence! At
22 seconds in, you can see me telling Seth something about the
centrifuge and he looks impressed. :D
- NASA Blueshift worked with "Fancy Fast Food" blogger Erik Trinidad
to make this fun
video about space food. I wrote up this feature (page 9, pdf) for Goddard View on the
shoot.
