The Q&A session was so adorable, but a real connection sparked when I shared my obsession with collecting the cutest Pokรฉmon cards. One attendee even gave me a new life goal: to take the cutest Pikachu card to space. Talk about career inspiration! โœจ

We went over how one can navigate a career in designing for science, celebrated the Hubble Space Telescope's 35th anniversary, and I shared some insights from my NASA Goddard Space Flight Center internship. We also experienced visual science communication in action!

April held exciting design-work wins, but a fun highlight was presenting as a keynote speaker to my largest audience yet: 100 bright elementary and middle school students at Arizona Science Center's "Space Rocks!" for their Girls in #STEM series!

The topic? "Did you know you can draw for science?!"

Why Science Communication Matters: From Space to Everyday Life! (Space For Humans Transmission)
YouTube video by Space For Humans Why Science Communication Matters: From Space to Everyday Life! (Space For Humans Transmission)

Including science communication on an accessible level for ALL AUDIENCES is going to be so incredibly important in research communication going forward. This video explains a lot of the reasons why!

This International Day of Women and Girls in Science feels so heavy but incredibly important. I am a visual science communicator. Not the easiest career path but the most fulfilling. Knowledge is power and I will be here designing for science, so you have the power to make the informed choices.

Went to a Fourth Wing themed daggers and desserts event tonight - won second place in trivia, held a few real swords, stabbed a bunch of stuff. Highly recommend it in these unprecedented times ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธโœจ

My 2025 is looking to be wild. Spicy books, spicy margs, spicy science (that's just code for sharing peer reviewed science information), and a spicy takes on the government (also-sharing facts and parallels from fiction). Follow me for what is now apparently unhinged takes on life.

My design is up on the NASA website! โœจ This year is Hubble's 35th year in space and I'm excited to share that my internship project at NASA Goddard is the final!

It's surreal and humbling to be able to say I made something for Hubble!

Second week at NASA Goddard is wrapping up and what a wild ride so far! Can't wait to see what is to come in the following weeks! What an incredible, and incredibly welcoming, organization! The future of science communication is so exciting here!

It's my second week as an intern at NASA Goddard thanks to the Brooke Owens Fellowship and I have been having a blast learning all about the sci comm and design projects I will get to be a part of this summer! I even got to see Hubble's operations control room!

An infographic I created for some biology based information. It's incredible to think of something as tiny as virus genes being able to span across space at an astronomical scale! Enjoy this little but enormous fun fact!
