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'm a full-time staff writer at Space.com and freelance for numerous other publications. I also teach communications at the post-secondary level.
My favourite stories cover #diversity, #stem and other ways to make our universe a little bit more inclusive. Here's an example:

In my spare time I enjoy #archaeology #history #libraries #gaming and learning #Latin.
Drop by and say hi!
A #rocket launched by #SpaceX may have left a brief "spiral" visible over Hawaii after it sent a Global Positioning #Satellite (#GPS) into space for the U.S. Space Force on Wednesday.

Thanks for the warm welcome in the past day, folks! So many interesting people here!
Shorter version of my #introduction (which is pinned to my profile): I'm a #space journalist from #Canada. So far on #Mastodon, I'm focusing on tooting/boosting pretty #astronomy pictures I'm finding here!
I'm lucky to have a full-time job at Space.com. I also freelance space/science articles, teach communications, science and #diversity, and have hobbies (when I can spare the time.)
For those learning Mastodon alongside me, think about all the hard things you've figured out in the past few years. Since 30 I've learned how to #teach, code #Python (a little), do #yoga, follow U.K. ancient #history and #archaeology, and somewhat understand the dynasties on #GoT. :) I didn't even start driving until I was over 25! Good luck!

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

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.
