2022 January 9 — I am feautured in the January issue of the DU Undergraduate Research Journal! It was an honor and a pleasure to work with DUURJ editor Anit Tyagi, who asked lovely thoughtful questions and did a great job editing my responses. My interview is available as a PDF here, or you can read the whole issue at this link. Here is an excerpt from the interview I like:
Why did you become a scientist? What drew you to this field?
What makes you get up in the morning?
I'm here because studying astronomy makes me feel connected to the Universe. I don't think of it as an escape or a pursuit that's separate from the "real world." Just as other sciences help us understand our relationship to the Earth, astronomy shows us how both we and the Earth fit into a larger, cosmic environment. I think it's amazingly cool that just by looking out into space from our tiny planet, we can figure out what the Universe is made of, how we are related to it, what a beautiful variety of phenomena it contains, how it began and how it might end.
