A unique opportunity occurred in January of 2000, when a large meteoroid exploded and rained down pieces onto the frozen surface of Tagish Lake in British Columbia.Dr. Christopher Herd of the University of Alberta said that the first Tagish Lake samples were quickly collected from the frozen surface. They are the best preserved meteorite in the world. Dr. Michael Callahan of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center commented that they are the closest thing in purity to those collected in a space sample and return mission.

Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to Kimberly Ellison-Taylor, a powerhouse in the accounting profession whose drive, energy, and passion is unparallelled. Kimberly is currently a Global Strategy Leader at Oracle, and she has held positions at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Motorola, KPMG, as well as having a role in government in Prince George's County, Maryland. On top of that, from 2016 to 2018, Kimberly served as 104th Chairman of the American Institute of CPAs, where she received numerous awards and recognition. Notably, she was the youngest person, the fifth woman, and first person of color to serve as chairman in the AICPA's 130-year history. Kimberly was also the second Chairman for the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, an organization founded in 2017 that has 667,000 members in 184 countries. Kimberly has been able to walk the fine line between technology and accounting throughout her career, but she’s been able to leverage her accounting and finance acumen in every role she’s had. Even working at NASA Goddard, Motorola, and now Oracle, she’s always recognized that there were both technology and finance implications of every business decision (as well as people and process implications). “And I've been able to leverage both of those on top of the foundation that my parents set for me when they said very early, ‘don't be afraid, and you need to pay your dues, and work hard to get ahead.’” Kimberly also learned from her parents and the church that she needs to give back – and she really took it to heart! She’s held executive roles, chair roles, and leadership, and she’s a passionate advocate for state CPA societies. So why does she do it?  It all comes back to servant leadership, and recognizing that other people inspired and helped her when she was younger. Some people may just need a little bit of help. Other people may need role models. Other people may need to hear that you made it through some tough times to get where you are. It's about helping people who might just need a small helping hand or inspiration, especially other people from socioeconomic backgrounds that are less common in the accounting and technology fields.  “It's important to lift as we climb,” Kimberly says. “And I think it is important because the more of us that can give visibility to the options that are available, the more of us that will be attracted to the profession, that will stay in the profession, will be advanced and promoted to the highest levels of the profession. And I think that if not me, who? If not now when? And we all have individual accountability and responsibility to do our part and to pay forward.” Resources:Check out AICPA-CIMA.comConnect with Kimberly on LinkedIn-- Change Your Mindset is produced by Podcast Masters Learn more about your ad choices.

Aug. 19, 2014. Holly Gilbert of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., spoke about the ever-changing sun. She focused on solar storms and how these dynamic phenomena interact with the Earth. Gilbert described how space weather is generated on the sun and how it impacts us. She spoke about recent missions like SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) and IRIS (NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph) which are allowing solar scientists to address some of the mysteries that have plagued them for decades.

Sep. 18, 2014. Jared Espley spoke about climate change on Mars and the MAVEN mission. Several types of evidence from past Mars missions leads us to believe that Mars used to be much different from the dry, cold place we find today. Ancient gullies and canyons look as if they were carved by flowing water, minerals that can only be made in standing water have been found, and ancient volcanoes of many sizes litter the surface. Clearly, the atmosphere had to have been thicker and possibly warmer to support so much liquid water on the surface. What happened? Because Mars lacks a planetary-sized magnetic field, the solar wind is able to gradually erode its upper atmosphere. Could a whole atmosphere's worth of erosion have taken place? MAVEN which was launched on November 18, 2013 and is set to arrive September 21, 2014 should help us explore this possibility. Speaker Biography: Jared Espley is a planetary scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and a team member on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission.

Scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center have developed a more accurate way to predict space weather which can lead to earlier warnings for communications blackouts

Scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center have developed a more accurate way to predict space weather which can lead to earlier warnings for communications blackouts.

On February 22 2007, the NASA Digital Learning Network hosted one of this years exciting new Sun-Earth Day webcasts for "Living in the Atmosphere of the Sun". During the show representatives from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA's Langley Research Center, and the Parkland Magnet Middle School in Maryland discuss the Sun's impact on the Earth, Moon, Mars, and Beyond.

In this Podcast you will hear an interview conducted with Lou Mayo; a professional astronomer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. His interview highlights information about eclipses and also includes some interesting facts that you will want to know before seeing the eclipse live or via our webcast on March 29th.
