Hi, I’m Julia Kregenow. My goal in life is to bring the heavens down to Earth. I liaise between people, science, and space. I love to encourage and help folks to ponder their place in the Universe.
I am a Teaching Professor in the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics at Penn State University with a passion for writing and communication. I did my schooling at Wittenberg University (BA) and the University of California at Berkeley (MA and PhD). I’ve also lived and worked in Cambridge MA, Ithaca NY, Washington DC, and Greenbelt MD. In addition to teaching and writing my work passions include mentoring TAs and faculty in teaching, advocating for sustainability, inclusivity, diversity, and working climate. I have also written several books.
