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)

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.

Pretty down about the impending TikTok ban. A lot of what my career has become is thanks to me jumping on that platform in February 2020 to make science and engineering videos. I learned about videography, telling stories and developing a community. As a creator and consumer I owe a lot to TikTok.

I would absolutely rather talk about astrophysics than health — partly because it’s where my expertise lies and partly because it’s more fun — but as a human person with a frustratingly biological existence (and friends and family who are also humans) it’s real hard to just ignore this dire stuff

Modern pinball machine manufacturers: We need a big cool license like Jaws or John Wick, tons of flashing lights and complex rules. Old pinball machine manufacturers: We made a machine inspired by a river boat. Enjoy.

So my favorite space robots now HAVE ARMS! The Astrobees, Honey Bumble and Queen have been on the space station for years now, and I think these robots lose a bit more on the cuteness scale and increase on the scary scale with their large arms. But they’ve been given them for good reason.
