Our first episode posted Mar 2024, hosted by 365 Days of Astronomy. H’ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society. We’re here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos. We’ll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were “in the room” during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.

In January 2023, I started my 2-year term as a member of the Leadership Committee for the Historical Astronomy Division (HAD). In 2024, I began producing the HAD podcast, H’ad astra historia. The first episode "Women in Science History" posted 3/28/24 on CosmoQuest's 365 Days of Astronomy. Our next episode, "Egyptian Star Clocks," is scheduled for 4/30/24.

I specialize in the History of Science, specifically Astronomy and Biology. My science writing is informative, accessible, and interesting. I edit meticulously so the reader can focus on content. I also specialize in document re-design to increase readership.I'm available to write or edit engaging text for both your academic/professional profile (to recruit students or employees) and your website (to showcase your research or expertise).

I started as a Features Writer for SkyWatcher (for a local astronomy club) and, within months, moved up to Newsletter Editor by writing a series of eight articles on the NASA Voyager mission. In early 2021, I finished a series of four articles on "Mars, the Robot Planet." I re-designed and reformatted SkyWatcher, adding many features, making it a popular publication. In 2024, I started my own astronomy newsletter, Lux Tenebris (a light in the dark).
