I’m stupidly excited to be attending Launchpad this year! It’s like astronomy camp for authors. Here’s a snippet of what it’s all about:
Launch Pad is an education/public outreach effort supplementing Mike Brotherton’s space-based astronomical research. Our primary goal is to teach writers, editors, and those with audiences of all types about modern science, specifically astronomy, and in turn reach their audiences. We hope to both educate the public and inspire the next generation of scientists.
Lecturers include University of Wyoming professor and authorMichael S. Brotherton, PhD., Christian Ready, Jim Verley, Andria Schwortz, and additional Wyoming astronomy faculty members.
We get to learn from Mike, Christian and the rest as well as visit the university’s observatories and do a bit of skywatching–in Wyoming. Be still my nerdy heart. 😉
