Press


In the news...

Last month I participated in a day of all-women commanding of the "Spirit" rover on Mars. There was some minor press coverage of the event at the time. For example:

A reporter at the Arizona State University paper became interested in the story this week after reading about it in a blog and called me up for comments. My only problem with the nature of this article is that I would far prefer to get an interview about what I do rather than an interview over the fact that I am a woman and this is what I do. Oh well, we have to change the world slowly. Here is the State Press article. Please note that my friend Alice doesn't study "glowing trains" on Mars. However the putative salt-rich deposits have been dubbed "glowing terrain" due to the pretty blue colors they create in a stretched false color image.
