In this episode from our video archive we talk astronomy school, exoplanets and Jedis! This is great #STEM stuff! In this far ranging interview with new Astronomer Lauren Biddle we discuss her experience at the University of Arizona studying for, and earning, a double major Bachelor's degree in Astronomy and Physics, time as a telescope operator there, her current position at the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii, methods to search for exoplanets, her path ahead as an Exoplaneteer Astronomer, Star Wars vs. Star Trek, inspiration from Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson, the re-boot of COSMOS, and we ask for your questions for future episodes. Did you know at least one Tatooine-like exoplanet has already been discovered? It should be clear we had a great time doing this interview and we hope you enjoy it too.
