Erin grew up in Florida watching shuttles launch and shake the windows of her house on reentry. She has always had a passion for making things, leading to her degree in mechanical engineering. Erin works at NASA's Johnson Space Center as a science communication specialist for the International Space Station at NASA's Johnson Space Center. She shares the amazing stories of research on the space station with the world through writing and social media. Today on the Casual Space Podcast, Erin shares with Beth specific examples of space station spinoffs that have benefited humanity (20+ years of science has been conducted aboard the space station) and the impact it's made for all of us back on Earth- all captured in the new book, The ISS Benefits for Humanity 2022. AND, Beth congratulates Erin on a very prestigious, and much- deserved award for her work as a space communicator. “Its a joy to be able to now work in the space industry as a senior science communications specialist telling the stories of International Space Station Research.”- Erin W. Anthony From the book (You're going to want to read this book) The ISS Benefits for Humanity 2022 book; It's DIGITAL, and it's FREE to download!!!!! https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/news/benefits-2022-book The International Space Station is a modern marvel. Only 400 kilometers (250 miles) above our heads, it streaks spectacularly across the sky at 28,200 kilometers (17,500 miles) per hour, orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes. The station carries an impressive array of research facilities supporting hundreds of experiments at any given time across every major science discipline. It can host up to eight visiting vehicles and accommodate 11 crew—all while providing an amazing view featuring 16 sunrises and sunsets per day. But what is so special about an orbiting lab? What makes scientists willing to tackle the significant challenges of planning and scheduling research, designing and building hardware, and committing extraordinary time and effort to complete experiments? It's all about location. An orbiting laboratory provides researchers with the unique features of low-Earth orbit (LEO): long-duration microgravity, exposure to space, and a unique perspective on our planet. These attributes enable scientists to conduct innovative experiments that cannot be done anywhere else… Check out the latest NASA Explorers video series Erin worked on, along with friend of the show and writer Rachel Barry here; https://youtu.be/-pJcbKr7iA4 And find Erin on Twitter at: @ISS_Research More about Erin: Erin works at NASA's Johnson Space Center as a science communication specialist for the International Space Station.

SPECIAL GUEST: Andrew Katsis (Deakin) Support In Situ Science on Patreon A single tweet can make all the difference, or at least it did for Andrew Katsis, who decided to get involved in the #billmeetsciencetwitter trend. Little did he know that his tweet would be seen by American television producers, who decided to fly Andrew over to LA to talk about this research on the Netflix show ‘Bill Nye Saves the World’. Andrew’s research looks at how bird calls can affect the development of chicks while they still inside their eggs. Andrew’s life in ornithology had a bumpy start as he grew up on his family’s emu farm and was terrorised by the giant birds roaming their property. The birds he studies now are much smaller and more manageable, but no less fascinating. Andrew is also a co-founder of Lateral Magazine, a freely available popular science magazine driven by early career scientists. Check out Lateral Magazine here, follow Andrew on Twitter @andrew_katsis, and check out his research website here.

Artists impression of Ivy Artist: Ivyn=51In this episode, Tom interviews Science communicator and journalist Ivy Shih. We talked a lot about science journalism, which is really great as it is a different perspective to what we normally hear on this podcast. A great episode where I feel like I learnt a lot about journalism and a different side of science communication. There was a lot in this interview about science writing and I really liked that. I hope you do too!Ivy answered Rachel's question taking writing out of context and asked her own here:If there was one thing that you could tell yourself in the beginning stages of your career, what would that be?You can Find Ivy on twitter here @ivyhish, as well as on Lateral Magazine. Ivy wrote a wonderful piece about the Thylacine called Life after death. It's great.Call to action:Archives: There are a few like the NSW State library, Australian Museuym's DigiVol, Herbarium and the Powerhouse Museum.
