What motivated you to volunteer as a NASA citizen scientist? How did you learn about NASA citizen science? Have you had to be creative to secure adequate computer or internet access?
Before I was a physics major in undergrad, I was really interested in astronomy and space, and I liked to keep up with everything NASA was doing. I remember reading an article about Backyard Worlds: Planet 9, a new NASA citizen science project that was getting ready to be launched where you could discover new objects in space, and that seemed really cool to me. I made an alarm for the day the project launched and got to working on it that very day. Within two weeks of the project launch, I had changed my major to physics and was spending every minute of free time classifying objects!
