RT @NASA_Technology: Wanessa Priesmeyer uses flight testing to help researchers — including middle and high school students — take their technologies to the next level. Learn more about her work with Flight Opportunities:

"If I had pulled myself out of that STEM major, I would never have been managing a technology demonstration program for NASA that launched ten technologies into space.” Meet Tawnya Laughinghouse, Materials and Processes Laboratory Director @NASA_Marshall:

Astrophysicist Sarah Peacock's job revolves around one major question: Are there habitable worlds in our universe? By studying stellar radiation, she's uncovering clues about which worlds may have breathable atmospheres. Read her story:

“Our stories highlight what we have in common, but they also make us each unique.” Linda Spuler, emergency manager at @NASA_Johnson, believes that everyone has a story. Hear how her story – and her family’s – led her to NASA:

The newest episode of our documentary series “The Color of Space” looks at the personal journeys of Black women astronauts like @Astro_Jeanette and @Astro_Watkins – and the impact of representation on the next generation of space explorers:

RT @NASA_Technology: “…a lot of people told me that I couldn’t do it. Well, watch me, I can.” @NASAglenn's Lauren Ameen develops technology to keep rocket fuel cold for long-duration missions – one of the most enabling capabilities to get astronauts to the Moon and Mars:
