117 presentations delivered through the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Solar System Ambassador program between 2018 and September 2026. 60 to outside audiences, 49 as monthly meetings of the Laurel Springs School Astronomy Club, and 8 as other events at Laurel Springs School.
I set each topic with whoever requested the talk and then build the presentation from NASA's published material, which is the only source the ambassador program permits.
Topics have included the Artemis program, Orion, Space Telescopes (Roman, Webb, Hubble, Spitzer), the moon, Parker Solar Probe, DART, Europa Clipper, Mars (including Ingenuity and Perseverance).
Audiences have included elementary and secondary schools, public libraries, retirement communities, and civic organizations.
