These are various NASA Space Science related projects I have worked on.
Many of these are much older projects pre-dating Spring 2000.
Some of the webdesign is considerably rougher than what I can
do now, though I'm still proud of many of the projects
that I worked on.

I work on NASA Blueshift, a podcast and blog that gives a backstage
look at astrophysics at NASA Goddard.
I spent a lot of time on our
Wordpress site!
Which needs redesigning already! |

The James Webb Space Telescope -
I currently run the NASA JWST site and its social media. JWST is the successor to the
Hubble Space Telescope. I was the lead on this
cute Flash game about telescopes called
Scope It Out. Here's a preview of my new game, Build-it-Yourself: Satellite. |

The Cosmic Distance Scale -
The popular Cosmic Distance Scale has a home on the HEASARC
web site as of May 2001. It was updated in 2008. It's really popular and
has been linked all over and used in museum exhibits and classrooms! |

The Rossi X-ray
Timing Explorer
Learning Center -
I started working on the RXTE Learning Center back in 1996 when I was a
summer intern at Goddard Space Flight Center. I spent three
years improving and adding to it. It's been 10 years since the site was
redesigned and it kind of shows. I'm in the process of updating the look now. I also wrote and had published a booklet about X-ray astronomy, the content
of which can be found here.
I also created a paper
model of the satellite that you can download, cut out,
and put together. |

Journey Feature - This is a series of lesson
plans
for the RXTE Learning Center that Lisa
Williamson, a teacher at Drew Freeman Middle School, and I developed
during the summer of 1999. We presented a workshop on them at the
national NSTA meeting in Orlando in April of 2000 and at the regional
meeting in Baltimore in November 2000. |

I worked with my then-officemate
Allie Hajian and two teachers on a really cool bunch of lesson plans on
X-ray Spectroscopy and the Chemistry of Supernova Remnants - they reside on the
Imagine the Universe web site
now, though we initially did them for the Suzaku mission.
