Poet, PhD in Political Science, Space Policy Nerd, Consultant, Speaker, Occasional Podcaster, Human (she/her). I’m passionate about space, #scicomm, and enabling STEM professionals and students to be their own best advocate. I write poems about the universe and being alive in it. I research the relationship between politics and space. I care deeply about mentoring, especially my fellow #firstgen people. I’m curious about the world and its people. I dropped out of high school and still managed to get a PhD. Views are my own. Here to chat about space, poetry, scicomm, politics, and how to make academia and space more friendly for #firstgen, women, and underrepresented minorities. www.kathrynrobison.com www.communicatespace.com www.talkingspaceonline.com
