"Tattooed Gravity Queen"
Erin Macdonald is the host of the YouTube series "Dr Erin Explains the Universe" and works as a consultant and educator, merging science fiction and STEM. Her PhD and postdoctoral research was with the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, looking for gravitational waves from neutron stars and gamma-ray bursts.
Upon leaving the collaboration a year before their prize-winning detection, she found solace in science fiction, studying methods of gravity and faster-than-light travel, fulfilling her life goal of becoming a "warp drive expert". In addition to her YouTube series, she currently lives in Los Angeles, consults with writers and gives talks all over the US. She can be found online at the links below.
Never one to be too serious, she is a tattooed Scottish-American Rebel N7 Slytherin in Starfleet.

Live long and prosper!
