interactive immersive astroviz, creative scientific storytelling: I do exciting (and) space things

INTUITIVE Planetarium Director - U.S. Space & Rocket Center
Astrovizicist - WorldWide Telescope
Come work with me at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center! I am excited to share a FT position to lead production efforts for our Cocktails & Cosmos shows (new every Friday). If live, interactive presenting is your jam and you dream about data viz, we want you! 🔭

Ok, time to zoooom - here is the Orion Nebula in multiwavelength glory! But don't just take my word for it; I created a web interactive for you to explore for yourself: web.wwtassets.org/specials/202... or if you have a Digistar planetarium, go hit up that cloud for the dome version :) 🔭 🧪

Hey #astro 🔭 🧪 ⚛️ bluesky, time to reintroduce myself - I'm David and I create interactive, educational experiences featuring immersive visualizations to explore our understanding of the universe. Most of the time, my canvas is a planetarium, sometimes web interactives.

I'm not super loud on social media, but I #scicomm everyday in a huge dome (if you want to add me in)!

Celebrating #BlackHoleFriday with a twist (ok, ok it is a reach) - here's our visualization of stellar birth, well before the possible black hole finale. 🔭 🧪

I recently watched the #JWST IMAX film Deep Sky and, while I liked it, I feel like it was missing something like the 3D-ified Pillars of Creation created by the U.S. Space & Rocket Center INTUITIVE Planetarium team. What do you think? 🔭 🧪

Hey #astro 🔭 bluesky, it has been a bit. I hope all is well.

Have you tried out the new WorldWide Telescope Constellations yet? Giving the JWST Crab Nebula a look 🔭 (and a zoom) is a good first go: worldwidetelescope.org/@jwst/65409f...

Very cool, I'm also here in Utah - I'll be domecasting (think Planetarium livestream) a mission recap Friday night to planetariums around the world and one of the participating planetariums is Clark in Salt Lake City (6pm MT). You should definitely try to attend!

Hey BlueSky #astro, are you ready for the #OSIRISREx Sample Return??

Hi again Bluesky, let me continue my #astro intro and share my planetarium with you. We host exclusively live and interactive dome shows that feature immersive data viz.

Want to visit? You should! Find the awesome at the INTUITIVE Planetarium at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center (Home of Space Camp).
