Her specialty is in general relativity, having previously worked in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration searching for gravitational waves. She has since found her home in science fiction, consulting with writers, teaching STEM through popular culture, and fulfilling her life goal of becoming a warp drive expert.   It was such a treat to talk to Dr. Erin about the journey her career has taken, how she uses her nerdy interests and science knowledge to impact the future of Sci-Fi, and the way she’s making science accessible (with things like her new Audible Original The Science of Sci-Fi, which I downloaded immediately after this recording and learned so so much).    Please follow Erin on Twitter @drerinmac and see if she’ll be presenting at a comic con near you!   Special thanks to our editor + music composer Dan Ison and our executive producers for this episode LoganArch and Karen Hallion.   If you enjoyed this episode, you’ll probably also love the rest of our episodes.
