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!
🇨🇦 Staff writer, spaceflight at Space.com based in Ottawa. Also freelance + 5 books. Comms instructor. History nerd. Supports 🏳️🌈, diversity, libraries.
I fell in love with space as a teenager, after watching the movie Apollo 13 in 1996. I still want to be an astronaut!
