Wanted: APOD Guest writers and assistant editors

[RJN]

Do you have professional-level expertise in astronomy? Would you like to write for — or even become an assistant editor for — APOD? The Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD, current main NASA site https://apod.nasa.gov/) is continuing its "guest-Wednesday" program and featuring volunteer writers. If you participate, your popular writing could reach over a million people. Additionally, APOD will enlist part-time US-based assistant editors who will be tasked with writing two APODs monthly, on the average, in exchange for modest stipends. Interested astronomers are encouraged to send an email to the APOD editors listed on a recent APOD page. Professional-level expertise in astronomy and astronomical research, clear writing, and an interest in astronomy outreach is preferred. Applications from astronomers and astrophysicists working at NASA centers are encouraged.

Greetings

I am a retired professor of astronomy at the University of Hawaii. My expertise is in outflows and Herbig-Haro jets from young stars
and more broadly low-mass star formation. I am dedicated to public outreach and have given numerous public talks over the years.
If you have a need within this topic I can contribute as an occasional Guest writer.

best regards

Hi everyone! I'm interested in helping out APOD. My original research background was on quasars... current interests include Cepheid variables and exoplanets. I'm highly involved in astronomy outreach and education. Finally, I have written an introductory astronomy textbook and several astronomy and physics lab manuals/materials.

Best,

Christopher (Chris) Sirola

Wow Bo Reipurth of all people! I had no idea you had retired. Handbook of Starforming Regions is one of the best things I have read in my life.
