Summary

A Film Set and Grad School Have Nothing in Common
Mika McKinnon is a geophysicist and is a bit too giddy about catastrophes. She uses her Masters of Disaster to try to keep our planet from killing us all and doesn’t mind getting muddy to do it. Not only that, but she is also a science writer and educator. She describes herself as being unrepentantly curious and unabashedly scientific in all situations, certainly traits to aspire to!
Here Mika tells us about her time working as a science consultant on the TV shows Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe. Through her time there she soaked up the glory of working on set, struggled through some rather odd requests, and saw where the magic comes from when science and entertainment are brought together.
Here’s a photo of some of her handiwork on set. Can’t say I can read much of it…
