![]() ![]() ![]() Jennifer will be in town later this month to take part in the World Science Festival, so we jumped at the chance to pick her brain about her cool job, what scientific advances we can expect in the near future and if aliens exist.Ĭan you tell us where your love for the night sky and the stars first originated? This means that Jennifer is an expert in concepts and areas that are far beyond our mental grasp – the star-forming regions of our galaxy, interstellar gas clouds, astronomical bodies and – potentially – extra-terrestrial life. Jennifer is a senior astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Centre and was also previously the head of Goddard’s Laboratory for Exoplanets and Stellar Astrophysics. Jennifer Wiseman can comfortably say that she’s accomplished both. Even fewer can say that they work closely on the Hubble Space Telescope project. Not many people in the world can say that they discovered an asteroid. Science impacts nearly every aspect of modern life, from agriculture, environment, and medicine to communications, exploration and, hopefully, a sense of responsibility, wonder and awe. ![]() Share Jennifer Wiseman, astrophysicist, NASA ![]()
