I am currently an outreach educator for the NASA THEMIS/ARTEMIS missions, which study the solar wind and its effects on Earth's magnetic field. My goal is to make my fellow researchers' plasma and magnetic field data into sound, so humanity can actually perceive and better understand the invisible electromagnetic forces that permeate our universe. Magnetism is gaining credibility as a powerful force in shaping the universe, beyond mere gravity.  Magnetic forces are useful not just for hybrid cars and compasses, it is now known to be critical to the formation of ours and other solar systems, and the Earth may have lost its water and atmosphere without the magnetic shield that protects it from the solar wind.  So much to learn...
