I have supervised 4 p ost-do ctoral fellows (Andrew Silber, FuHua Chang, Bram Boroson, and Hannah Quaintrell). PUBLIC OUTREACH: In addition to these professional educational activities, I have also participated in programs to introduce a broader public to science, and especially to encourage primary and secondary school students to consider careers in science. I have given numerous talks at high schools in Massachusetts, Maryland, and Virginia. As a member of the APS Committee on the Status of Women in Physics (20092012), and as Chair of their Site Visit Committee, I take every opportunity to mentor and advance the cause of underrepresented groups. As secretary-treasurer of the Astronomy section of the AAAS since 1997 I have organized many symposia for general audiences. Served as judge for the FIRST (For Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology) Robotics Competition held Boston, MA, 2006-2010. Served on a panel discussing Minority Women in Science for Cambridge Cable Television. Aug 9, 2006 Cambridge, MA. Member of Consulting Service for Young Astronomers' at the 26th General Assembly of the IAU. Aug 17-25, 2006 Prague, Czech Republic.

"My career as a scientist", MIT Alumni Panel, MIT, Monday, January 26, 2004. As astronomy department representative to the UMD outreach program I organized a symposium for High School women and minorities on Careers in the Physical Sciences and Engineering at the University of Maryland that took place on March 11, 1995. 25 speakers and panel members (including NASA Chief Scientist France Cordova, the Deans for Undergraduate Studies and the College of Science, and professors and scientists from the University of Maryland, Goddard Space Flight Center, NSF, and the Space Telescope Science Institute) gave talks on their experiences in pursuing science and science-related careers. Over 150 high school students, teachers, and parents attended this event. In collaboration with the Women's Program Committee at the CfA I organized a workshop on Astronomy for high school women held on May 16, 1992. Approximately 80 students and teachers attended this meeting. As chair of the Women's Program Committee at the CfA I organized series of colloquia (called "Summer Stars") in 1991 and 1992 that were primarily aimed for an undergraduate audiencs. Summer lecture series for undergraduates continues at the CfA.


For two years (1990-1991) I was a member of Science-By-Mail, a program organized by the Boston Museum of Science which teams scientists with elementary school students.
