Getting ready to go live on nautiluslive.org for the next hour! We’ll be talking expedition updates, at sea careers, paths to Nautilus, and more!

Bring your questions!

NASA has a cool competition going on for adults and students to design the zero g indicator that will launch to the Moon aboard Artemis II! This is the Moon Mascot design challenge.

Deadline is May 27.

Check out all the details here: www.freelancer.com/contest/Moon...

NASA's example below:

I'm helping run a STEAM competition for middle and high school girls! The Tech Runway competition challenges students to create an accessory that combines science, style, and technology.

Check out more info here, and pass it along to anyone who might be interested: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

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?...

You can find the book here if you want to check it out! (I might be biased but it is very good :) ) www.amazon.com/Servant-Rage...

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)

Thank you so much for doing that and sharing!

Thanks so much!

After talking with @erinwinick.bsky.social I can’t stop thinking about #parabolicflight. Who needs gravity anyway?

See me progress from last place in tournaments to making it to the women's state pinball championships, and most importantly, having fun learning and sharing the ins and outs of pinball. It'll catch you up on my journey in time for my first long-form Learning to Flip video coming this month!

YouTube video by Erin Winick Anthony My 2-Year Journey of Learning to Play Competitive Pinball | Learning to Flip Compilation

It's the 2-year anniversary of documenting my competitive pinball journey in my series, Learning to Flip!

In honor of that, I have compiled together all my short-form episodes into one mega Learning to Flip video!

Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo21...

Episode 42 has landed with @erinwinick.bsky.social sharing her story of mechanical engineer, entrepreneurship, and science communication.

Tune in to this weekend episode of #MeditationsWithRyanZlomek for Erin inspiration and a friendly boost of STEM knowledge.

I used to be an avid cosplayer and just got a reminder from Facebook that 10 years ago today, @alexknightbooks.bsky.social and I wore one of my favorite cosplays: Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable!

One of my favorite events is my monthly business lunch with @erinwinick.bsky.social. It’s an essential (and delicious) part of living in a household where we’re both self-employed.

But books centered around science for this age group can be a hard sell! I’m still holding out hope for seeing the world of Eureka in print.

I wanted to put this out there because I still believe there is an agent or publisher who can help bring this STEM adventure into the world! 🔬🔭🧪📚

Middle school is often the age where girls stop pursuing a career in science. That’s why I really wanted to make a book more targeted at this age group.

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!

The Astrobees, the cube follow-on experiment to these circular robots, are more robot-like, while the SPHERES, were more satellite-like. Astrobees are designed to be astronaut assistants while the SPHERES weren’t meant to interact much with crew or their environment.

My personal favorite experiments they were a part of was the SPHERES-Slosh experiment which helped researchers better understand the forces that fuel may create in spacecraft and satellite fuel tanks in microgravity.

SPHERES stands for Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (because NASA sure loves a long acronym) and helped performed more than 600 experiments aboard the ISS for over a decade.

And if they look familiar, it is because they were inspired by the floating droid that helped Luke Skywalker practice his Jedi skills in Star Wars.

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.

The @esa.int Gaia satellite will take its final scientific measurements on Wednesday. 🔭

This will conclude a 12 year series of continuous observations.

Larger Gaia data releases are still in progress, but Gaia has already had a HUGE impact on our understanding of the #milkyway.

Women are historically very underrepresented in pinball. Women’s leagues give a safe fun place for women to try out the hobby, make friends, learn from each other, and work on their skills. It’s a good way to build representation in pinball.

Women can qualify in the overall state championships too.

Thank you!

Those are classics for sure! 90s machines are my fav.
