Many teachers, administrators, parents, or community volunteers want to promote and provide more STEM in our schools. That’s fantastic! We need more champions for STEM! (Just like we need more rocket scientists!) One excellent resource that I found and subscribe to is the STEM Is Elementary newsletter from Bob Claymier. You can find it online […]
Rocket scientists and aerospace engineers can pursue many types of jobs and career paths. There are many different types of companies that employ us. Sometimes, those aerospace engineers decide to create their own companies! On Monday, February 23, 2015, I had the privilege to speak with Richard Gersh at Terrafugia. Richard is currently their Vice […]

I don’t think I can! Do you best and give your answer with a comment below! The article said the […]
One of the most exciting and promising sectors in the aerospace industry is unmanned aircraft (or drones or Unmannned Air Vehicles – UAVs). Drone Flo is a website with many exclusive interviews with people taking charge and taking the lead in this rapidly evolving sector. While we’re throwing out some acronyms, you should know that […]
This Fun Friday post will appeal to all of the math geeks out there. You will know that every year we have a little fun celebrating PI Day: March 14th. Do you need to ask why? Because it’s 3.14! But this year is EXTRA SPECIAL. Because (as I’m sure you know), the next two digits […]
Hey rocket science and aerospace career trailblazers! The recording of my appearance on The Space Show with Dr. David Livingston is now available at this link. The show aired on Friday, February 20th, 2015. His page has a nice summary of the show. If you want to jump right into the MP3 playback click here. […]
If you live in the Seattle area and want to get a world-class jet blast of airplane knowledge, you are in luck! Bernardo Malfitano, an aerospace engineer (aka rocket scientist) who works at a Boeing, is the instructor for this course. I happen to know Bernardo from my Boeing time and he’s an awesome guy. […]
