I recently had the pleasure of working with RiAus (Australia’s national science channel) on their 2016 Ultimate Science Guide.

USG2016 is a free magazine distributed to every school in the country, with the aim of inspiring teens to consider aiming for an awesome science and/or tech career.

My article (It’s Not All Rocket Science)(aha ha) showcased careers in space science and was incredibly interesting to research and write.

(I think if I’d read this article as a teen, I might be a space scientist now :-))

So, if you’ve ever wanted to engineer suits for astronauts, design Mars rovers, listen for radio waves from the dawn of time, or even write a best-selling space-science novel that could turn into a best-selling hit movie…check it out.

The mag is available for free online or you can ask to see a paper copy at your local school.

Because seriously: someone gets to be an astronaut. Why not you?
