Professional - Space Science

These are various NASA Space Science related projects I have worked on. Many of these are much older projects - all of them date pre-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 the Astrophysics Science Division's podcast, Blueshift. I spent a lot of time on our new Wordpress site!
	The James Webb Space Telescope Site - This is the site I am currently working on. It's the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope and will launch in 2014. I was the lead on this cute Flash game about telescopes called Scope It Out.
	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 also wrote and had published a booklet about X-ray astronomy, the content of which can be found here. Ignore the terrible web design. I also created a paper model of the satellite that you can download, cut out, and put together!
	Space 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.
	StarChild Black Hole Poster - This is artwork I did for a poster on black holes for the Imagine Site.
	Exploring the Extreme Universe CD Art - And this is art I did for the CD-ROM that the Cosmic Distance Scale is on.
