Listen "A star in my handbag"
Episode Synopsis
Kim Arcand has, literally, an out-of-this-world job as a visualisation scientist and technologist for NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Massachusetts. Kim is an innovator in storytelling about space and stars, (specifically astronomy data visualisation, 3D printing and virtual reality), creating a sensory understanding of the universe for everyone from children to those with low vision. Kim talks about her work, her Otago PhD, and never leaving home without a star in her handbag!
