Welcome to Observing Hope

Exploring hope, humanity, and the cosmos through science, storytelling, and self-discovery.

This newsletter is for curious minds who find inspiration in the stars, the pages of a good book, and the small, meaningful moments of daily life. As an astrophysicist and storyteller, I write about the intersections of science, space, and hope—whether it’s the women who shaped the space industry, the power of nature to restore us, or lessons from navigating burnout.

What you’ll find here:

• Reflections on science and space as tools for observing hope and progress.

• Practical advice on resilience, creativity, and balancing ambition with well-being.

• Thoughtful book reviews, curated reading lists, and personal stories that connect the cosmos to the human experience.

This is a space for dreamers, thinkers, and those eager to build a brighter, more just world—one idea, one glimmer, one orbit at a time.
