Autorenporträt

Dr. Kimberly K. Arcand was working in biology when she was hired for NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory in 1998. Since she always wanted to be an astronaut when she was little, this opportunity brought Kim close to the cosmos but without the long distance commute. Today, Kim uses data to tell stories about science, whether in the form of a 3D print of an exploded star, a virtual reality application of a pulsar, or a sound of a black hole. Outside of work, Kim likes to hang out with her family including her husband, two grown-up children, her parents, two dogs, and a cat. She's a big fan of nature and loves to be outside gardening, walking and looking for her next rainbow.
