This was taken the day a kid ran up to me and went "HI MS FRIZZLE!"
It made this curvy, hook-nosed, curly-haired ginger science educator wearing a space dress VERY happy. Just saying.
I’m excited to share that I’ve recently joined the
@StarTrek
team as a Science Consultant. Can’t wait to be working alongside the incredible cast & crews of the

The secret is out! Yes, that’s ME in

The symbolism of Captain Kirk going to space means a lot. The reality of William Shatner going on a flight reserved for rich and famous is something else. His reflections after the flight hopefully affect others and propagate into changed views and actions 💙🖖
It's time to share this with the world! All the different methods of time travel used in

, documented by yours truly for my "Time Travel in Star Trek" talk last year. Enjoy!

I finally got it! Continuing my sci-fi ship sleeve I've added the one and only

too.

I'm a former astrophysicist in LA currently working on all the Star Trek shows as a science consultant. I have a big heart, a love for finding ways to play with science, and relentless positivity for the power of storytelling!

I'm so proud to have worked on this whole season and especially this episode!! There's a super hidden Easter egg in the episode...I'll share more this weekend!

Okay
@RRRMovie
lived up to every expectation and more (and you all were doing your very best to over-hype it!). I hope more people watch this spectacular film (on Netflix in the US). My mind is still blown. 💚🔥💚
Yes, I can confirm that the Verubin Nebula in Season 3 of
#StarTrekDiscovery
was named after the astronomer Vera Rubin! Thanks to
@michelleparadis
and team for including this amazing woman in
@StarTrek
lore!
Okay here's my *deeply* hidden treat in the
#StarTrekLowerDecks
finale:
After Kayshon suggests warp, if you listen VERY carefully (headphones help) you can hear Shax shout "DR ERIN SAYS WE CAN'T DO THAT!" - it's barely audible but am I canon?

II: Wrath of Khan still makes me cry. It's two little moments that break me: Spock straightening his uniform and Kirk's voice crack at the eulogy. 😭
Hi, new friends! I'm Dr Erin. I did my doctorate in Gravitational Waves and now advise sci-fi writers in Hollywood, use science fiction to teach science to the public, and work as a technical advisor in the aerospace industry.

In short: they ignored a concern about a solar storm hitting Earth and launched a slew of satellites. Due to the atmosphere expanding from the solar storm, they parked in area with higher than normal drag.
In even shorter: they thought they could ignore physics, and physics won.
Finally got my commission and can upgrade my General Purpose Garment! (Yes, I am wearing a VERY worn out Starfleet Academy shirt)

I'm so sorry to my international friends and fans. I was so excited to share this with you this week and it looks like we'll be delayed until at least Jan 2022.
Please remember these decisions are made well above the actors/writers/creatives and to be kind💕🖖
#StarTrekDiscovery
Please don’t ever feel ashamed or embarrassed for getting excited about space events. A lunar eclipse is beautiful and awesome and anything that allows people to escape the world and imagine is worth it.
Flashback to a few years ago when my life was VERY different and scary and changing in all the ways, but I had a chance to meet
@TheKateMulgrew
and thank her for the help Janeway gave me.

Hi
#StarTrek
fans, in prep for my Time Travel in
@StarTrek
talk next week, what are your favorite *lesser known* time travel episodes/plots?
I've got the classics and my own favs, but I'd love to hear yours (and maybe include it in the talk!) Please RT and share! 🖖
Just found out the "I got a PhD Motherf*cker" Harley Quinn tote bag I designed with
@jordandenenyc
is sold out. High fives to all of you awesome people flexing your PhDs extra hard this week 💙
Not only is Garak my favorite character, but Andy is an amazing person and master of the craft! If you haven't read "Stitch in Time" yet, pick it up at your library and check it out!

This aurora video is absolutely stunning. Confession: I have never seen one. It's like bucket list 101 for an astrophysicist. Have any of you? Stories please!
That's a wrap on the craziest, loveliest week. You were all wonderful and I'll cherish these memories. Thank you to

for having me again and I hope to be back!

Funny story for your timeline: Got totally called out by an 8yo - she put on big headphones and went "Look, I'm Erin!

One thing I've learned in this industry is that if a script makes me cry in draft form, I am an inconsolable ball of tears watching the final production. That said, brace yourself...

Thanks for the love everyone! I also acknowledge my privilege in having so much in common with an amazing character. Future generations need more of this 💕

I just got double-blind notes (I don't know them, they don't know me) on my kids animated sci-fi pilot, that ranked it one of the best they've seen, and hope to see it in production one day soon.
