Astronomer, researcher, science pundit, podcaster, geek, nerd, former bullying victim, TV host, PR maven– these are just a few of the things to describe the force that is Dr. Michelle Thaller, NASA’s Deputy Director of Science Communication. In her day-to-day, Michelle spends most of her time teaching the organization, it’s engineers, and the public about how to translate the science of the universe into palatable information and experiences. On this episode of Innovation Crush, recorded live in Panama, the “always on” Michelle talks about being authentic, connecting concepts with audiences, overcoming bullying, and living out one’s passions.
