Life on Other Planets

I couldn't put down this memoir and read this in a few days. Honestly, I'm glad that Aomawa stuck with both acting and astronomy in varying capacities and got tenure as a professor. It's difficult being one of the few women of color in a STEM field dominated by men, speaking from personal experience. While I come from another STEM field like Computer Science, Aomawa, wrote her memoir that intricately intertwines astronomy, science communication, motherhood, social justice, and her personal life in her memoir.
