Hello world (and universe)! I'm a #space journalist from #Canada who writes about #spaceflight, #rockets, #astronomy, #StarTrek, #NASA and whatever else is trending that day.
I recently got to talk to an #astronaut about cosplay, of all things. That was unexpected. https://www.space.com/european-female-space-station-commander-2001-cosplay
My favourite stories cover #diversity, #stem and other ways to make our universe a little bit more inclusive.
I am blundering about here on Mastodon as a beginner ... but believe in showing others that learning and growing at any age is a good thing. :)
In my spare time I enjoy #archaeology #history #libraries #gaming ... and I'm also a beginner #python coder, because why not.
Drop by and say hi!
@howellspace Hi Elizabeth, I like your reason for becoming a #Python coder, although I'm also learning #Python for pragmatic reasons 😎
@__icoder__ Ha! I wanted to learn something that allowed me to build things, without having even more stuff lying about my residence. It's only been a few weeks, but I'm enjoying. What about you, what do you use Python for?
@__icoder__ You are building really cool things. I know it!
@howellspace I use it to analyze data at work, and I want to learn more and improve. The possibilities seem endless, which is great and requires focus at the same time.
