  • The article I would want to read about NASA Astronaut Jonny Kim

    1 week ago | fancycomma.com | Sheeva Azma |byFancy Comma

    By Sheeva AzmaBefore Jonny Kim was an astronaut, he was a retired Navy Seal and an emergency medicine resident who looked forward to shopping at Market Basket for its delicious, sweet cornbread. NOTE: I wrote this article based on an interview I did with NASA Astronaut Jonny Kim, who recently launched to the International Space Station with the SpaceX Crew-10 Mission, and I pitched it to a few journalism outlets, who passed on it.

  • Get Involved in Science Policymaking at the State Level (All 50 US States!)

    2 weeks ago | fancycomma.com | Sheeva Azma |byFancy Comma

    By Sheeva AzmaAs the saying goes, “all politics is local.” While national politics seem most glitzy and glamorous (at least on TV), state and local policymaking are other areas where scientists can contribute – and with even greater influence.

  • My Experience Interviewing a NASA Astronaut

    3 weeks ago | fancycomma.com | Sheeva Azma |byFancy Comma

    By Sheeva AzmaThe other day, I saw a media advisory on the internet asking for volunteer journalists to interview NASA astronaut Jonny Kim, who is launching to the International Space Station with Expedition 73 in mid-April 2025. So, of course, I immediately filled out the form. It asked me what media organization I was in, and I just wrote “freelance,” since I am a freelance journalist.

  • Standing Up for Science in Oklahoma

    1 month ago | fancycomma.com | Sheeva Azma |byFancy Comma

    By Sheeva AzmaOn March 7, 2025, I spoke at the Oklahoma Capitol in Oklahoma City as part of the national day of action called Stand Up for Science. Our event in OKC, which I organized, was listed on the SUFS 2025 local events website and was actually one of TWO events happening in the Oklahoma City Metro area (the other was at the National Weather Center about a 30-minute drive away in Norman).

Amazing that they have not entirely done away with public input at HHS, but if I were to attend this, I would not know where to begin with the reprioritization and politicization of US science. We've got to do better. #SciPol
