From observations of deep space via Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)\, to asteroid sample return from OSIRIS-REx\, to p lanned investigations by Dragonfly (Titan) and Europa Clipper (Europa)\, s pace science offers something for everyone\, now and in the future.\n\nAbo ut Nicolle Zellner:\n\nDr. Nicolle Zellner is a professor of physics at Al bion College in Albion\, MI\, where she teaches introductory and advanced astronomy and physics courses and has mentored dozens of student research partners. She has also served as a NASA Program Scientist in the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters. Supported by the NSF and NASA\, Dr . Zellner’s research interests focus on understanding the impact history o f the Earth-Moon system and how those impacts affected the conditions for life on Earth. She studies lunar impact glasses to interpret the bombardme nt history of the Moon (and Earth)\, and a second project focuses on under standing how the chemistry of simple molecules is affected by impacts.\n\n As a woman in science\, she advocates for inclusive approaches and practic es to increase diversity (in all of its forms) in the sciences. Dr. Zellne r has traveled to Antarctica to collect meteorites and to Chile to tour th e biggest and best telescopes in the world. She loves teaching and talking about space - she has been a NASA Solar System Ambassador for more than 2 0 years\, communicating with more than 2 million people through public tal ks\, media interviews and written articles. In 2021\, Dr. Zellner received the Carl Sagan Medal for Public Communication\, and she is a Fellow of th e American Association for the Advancement of Science\, one of the highest honors in science. She has been Teacher of the Year and Scholar of the Ye ar at Albion College.\nDr. Zellner graduated from Winneconne High School i n Wisconsin and completed her undergraduate degree\, with majors in Physic s and Astronomy and a certification in Environmental Studies\, at the Univ ersity of Wisconsin-Madison. Her PhD is from Rensselaer Polytechnic Instit ute (2001)\, where she received the school’s first Multidisciplinary PhD. \n\nShe’s received fellowships from the American Association of University Women (American Fellowship) and Zonta International (Amelia Earhart Fello wship).\n\nThe event will be streaming live on YouTube\, but please note t hat questions asked over the NSN-members-only Zoom Q&A will be prioritized .
