Nick, Jake and Cat are joined by special guest Kat Ross this week

Massive mushroom clouds, Star Trek Spaceship Voyageur and women in STEM – astronomist Kathryn Ross is fascinated by space and its mysteries. She is a PhD student at Curtin University in Perth looking at radio galaxies and their black holes. Her namesake and Spaceship Voyageur’s Captain Katherine Janeway inspired her once that girls can explore space as well; advocating for women in STEM is another one of Kat’s passions. She thinks that girls need strong role models to dare dreaming of their vast options.
