It's been an exciting and hectic year in science discovery and innovation. We've reported on stories from across many fields of science—from city climate plans and panda conservation to AI energy consumption and the spread of bird flu.Earlier this month, Ira sat down in front of a live audience at The Greene Space in New York City with Drs. Céline Gounder, Jackie Faherty, and Kevin Reed, three researchers from different areas of science. Together, they reflected on the most exciting discoveries in their fields, important stories you might have missed, and what they're looking forward to in 2025.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

This week, we present two stories about respect in science — how we get it and how we keep it. Part 1: Meisa Salaita's brand-new PhD in chemistry isn't much help as she prepares to teach ninth-grade physics. Part 2: Early in her career, astronomer Jackie Faherty's work is stunned when a senior researcher eviscerates her work at a conference. Meisa Salaita has made it her mission to help others see and appreciate the beauty of science by making it a part of everyday cultural experiences. Through her work founding and directing the non-profit Science ATL, she spends her days bringing people together through the wonder of science by creating public science events like the Atlanta Science Festival. Meisa also writes, has produced radio stories, and hosted TV shows — all in the name of science. In addition to her work with Science ATL, Meisa is a producer for The Story Collider, a science storytelling podcast. Meisa has a Ph.D. in chemistry from Northwestern, and has been named by the Atlanta Business Chronicle as one of their "Women Who Mean Business" and by Atlanta Magazine as one of their "Women Making a Mark". Jackie Faherty is a senior scientist and senior education manager at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). Her research group entitled “Brown Dwarfs in New York City (BDNYC)” is at the forefront of low mass star, brown dwarf and giant exoplanet characterization studies. She is also co-founder of the successful citizen science project called “Backyard Worlds: Planet 9” which has involved over 150,000 volunteers in searches for previously missed cold components of the nearby solar neighborhood. Dr. Faherty has over 100 peer-reviewed papers in Astrophysical journals and has won numerous awards or grants from private and national foundations such as NASA and the NSF. She is also a regular science communicator having consulted on stories that ran in the NY Times, the Wall Street journal, NPR, and on national television. In her position at AMNH, Faherty strives to create more opportunities for underrepresented minorities to enter STEM through unique outreach endeavors. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we interview Dr. Jackie Faherty of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City! Our conversation runs wild (and a bit longer than normal!) where we cover everything from Jackie's favorite rock, the overlap between geoscience and astronomy, to the BackYard World Citizen Science project that Dr. Faherty launched several years ago. Dr. Faherty is an observational astronomer, meaning that she uses telescopes to study our universe, and she specializes in studying brown dwarfs, which she describes as misfits! Brown dwarfs are somewhere between a planet and a star, and they provide important information about how solar systems ultimately form! Jackie also tells the incredible story of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing with Neil Armstrong piloting the Lunar Lander safely down to the moon's surface, and she tells us that her favorite rock is in fact a sample from Apollo 17! Jackie and Chris also have a great discussion of astronomy education and how best to convey the inherent interest in astronomy to students. Check it out to learn more!
In this GeoShort, we give you a short preview to our full interview Dr. Jackie Faherty (coming out next week Thursday). Dr. Faherty is an astronomer who now works at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Dr. Faherty is a prominent astronomer who has published and presented over 100 papers and has a really unique perspective on the Geosciences! We were absolutely honored that she agreed to talk about astronomy, geoscience, and generally interesting topics on PlanetGeo! In this GeoShort, she discusses Jupiter and why she calls it the "bouncer" of our solar system. She believes that if another planet in some other solar system will be found to harbor life, a Jupiter like planet must also exist in that solar system.Jackie also gives us a glimpse into space time and why it's so difficult for humans to comprehend. This GeoShort is informative and entertaining - Just a short glimpse into the full episode next week.
