Terri Gipson, astronomer and one-time member of the Hubble Space Telescope research team, joined CAISE in March as new project director. Terri’s background in informal science education includes stints at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, University of North Carolina’s Morehead Planetarium, and St. Louis Science Center, where she led concept development for a new planetarium. She was also national coordinator for the NSF-funded Career Access Program (1992–95), designed to attract, train, and retain people from underserved groups in the ISE field.
