Shooting for the Stars with Avis Lang

In today’s episode we’re joined with AVIS LANG , writer and editor at the American Museum of Natural History. She earned both her Masters in History of Art and Bachelor’s in English, at University of Michigan. Avis is also an associate at the Hayden Planetarium which holds space exhibits and other astronomy related shows. Additionally Avis taught fine arts and women’s studies at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, the Banff Centre, and the University of Lethbridge.

Avis has also consistently worked in tandem with Niel DeGrasse Tyson on collaboration publications such as the Natural History Museum’s “Universe” column and most recently as the coauthor of Accessory to War: The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military. If it’s not already clear, Avis is incredibly diligent in her work and we’re so excited to have her on today.
