Gathering and determining the planning requirements for science investigations on the ISS. Also, reporting weekly on the status of the investigations to a team that includes external communications at MSFC, crew time accounting, and NASA management. I also review down-linked video of science operations that have recently been done on orbit, and select clips to be included in public outreach videos. I also analyze and write summaries of journal articles that have been published based on ISS science research.

Researched topics on energy, transportation, building design, and resource utilization. Energy topics included solar, wind, hydroelectric, nuclear, and hydrocarbon utilization. Checked government reports, journal articles and briefs to assess validity of information. Determined with professor optimal regional utilization for various energy conversion methods. Proofread text, collected images, gathered image source information, and entered notes into PowerPoint file.
