The Starship Gallery at Space Center Houston offers a fascinating glimpse into human space exploration.

The #StarshipGallery not only inspires curiosity but also embodies the spirit of discovery that defines humanity's quest into the cosmos.

#SpaceExploration #SpaceHistory #SEEC2026

I presented at SEEC 2026 in Houston, showcasing how bird flight can bridge the gap to aerospace engineering through my session, “Flight by Design.” Educators engaged in cross-disciplinary lessons that highlight nature's role in innovation

#SEEC2026 #SpaceCenterHouston #Biomimicry #STEMEducation

Presenting my topic “Flight by Design: A STEM Journey Through Birds, Biomimicry, and Aerospace” (Grade Levels: K-12) for SEEC 2026

#Bird Nerd Alert! While watching the #Artemis II wet dress rehearsal (WDR), I noticed some cool #birds flying by. I spotted vultures, white ibises, and a few gulls.

It’s wild how #birdwatching adds a little extra excitement to the SLS rocket prep.
