SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Smithsonian Curator Dr. Jennifer Levasseur
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to virtually step inside one of the greatest 
 international achievements with a behind-the-scenes guide to space 
 exploration with the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum curator Dr. 
 Jennifer Levasseur.\n\nRevealing a new perspective into the world of space 
 exploration and the daring astronauts who make it possible\, Dr. Levasseur 
 will guide you through the Smithsonian’s Behind the Scenes at the Space 
 Station and take you on a once-in-a-lifetime virtual tour of the 
 International Space Station. \n\nYou will learn what the astronauts do once 
 they make it to the space station\, from experiments to repairs and so much 
 more! Have you ever wondered if plants could grow in outer space? Or how 
 the space station doesn’t break down in outer space? Or how astronauts go 
 to the toilet in microgravity?\n\nBehind the Scenes at the Space Station is 
 a treasure trove of information. Did you know that during a 24-hour 
 period\, the space station completes 16 orbits of Earth and the astronauts 
 on board see 16 sunrises and sunsets every day? Or that the International 
 Space Station is so enormous that it was launched in pieces and constructed 
 in orbit?\n\nBrimming with astonishing visuals\, step-by-step explanations 
 of everyday space work in action\, and job profiles of the adventurous 
 people who make it happen\, Dr. Levasseur’s tour Behind the Scenes at the 
 Space Station is the perfect way to spend an hour and experience life in 
 space.\n\nRegister now for your all-access pass to a spectacular home in 
 space!\n\n \n\nAbout the Author: Dr. Jennifer Levasseur is a proud graduate 
 of the University of Michigan (BA\, 1999). She received an MA from George 
 Washington University (2002) and a PhD from George Mason University (2014). 
 Her first book\, published in 2020\, examined the cultural significance of 
 astronaut photography. She is the responsible curator for the Museum's 
 astronaut cameras\, chronographs\, the Space Shuttle\, and International 
 Space Station programs. In 22 years at NASM\, Jennifer has worked on 
 artifact loans\, a biennial museums conference\, and numerous digital 
 projects. She curated the 2015 exhibit Outside the Spacecraft: 50 Years of 
 Extra-Vehicular Activity\, co-curated One World Connected\, and is lead 
 curator for the forthcoming At Home in Space gallery.\n\n Jennifer started 
 her Smithsonian career with an internship in the National Portrait 
 Gallery\, where she cataloged photographs and developed strategies for 
 recording portrait information in the museum's artifact database.\n\nJoin
