I'm a science writer and editor. I work with clients in the observatory and planetarium community, as well as my own book, web, planetarium, and other projects.

It's the start of a new year and, as with many years past, I'm getting ready to go to the American Astronomical Society meeting in Austin, Texas. I've been a member since the mid 1990s and have been going to their meetings nearly every year since then.
Most years I try to post here about some of the latest and greatest and hottest news in astronomy and astrophysics that we find out about at the meeting. I'll do that again this year, and I'm going to try and put up a vodcast or two from the meeting as well. So, keep your eyes peeled for astronomy news and maybe a little video program with an "insider look" at the AAS meeting!
Also in the new year, I'll be working on more vodcasting for Haystack Observatory. We have a contract to do a series called Space Weather FX for them, and the first episode is up! You can watch it here as a flash animation, but by all means, go over to their site for downloadable versions and read the background info on the series and who's working on it. Eventually it will be syndicated to iTunes and other places on the web.
Finally, I've been working on updating my web site so, if you haven't checked out my other pages, head over to TheSpacewriter.com and see what I've done.
