Astronomer, writer, educator, skeptic, maker-of-tiny-comets, and all around geek Dr. Nicole Gugliucci has made it her mission to study and share the Universe. Known as the “NoisyAstronomer,” she earned a doctorate studying radio astronomy and now leads the informal education efforts of the citizen science project CosmoQuest.
Her Noisy Astronomer blog is mainly a collection of writings on science, astronomy, education, news, geekiness, feminism, skepticism, and anything else. We have a feeling the Skeptiprom: Journey Through the Starsmos is going to be a pretty big hit with Nicole.
Her dissertation and previous research focused on radio astronomy instrumentation. While we like Elvis and Kanye, Dr. Nicole Gugliucci likes to spend her time listening to the stars. That’s how it works, right? Well, maybe metaphorically. You’ll have to attend her talk to find out.
