I have many other topics on which I speak, including STEM education, women, diversity and inclusion, safety, faith-based topics, and quilting.
MS and ph.d, mechanical engineering
These NASA-sponsored degrees were directly applicable to my work with composites and my interest in materials, which were helpful in conducting materials science experiments on the Space Shuttle
Astronaut Jan Davis
I have been blessed to have incredible opportunities in this great nation - as an engineer, scientist, astronaut, NASA executive, and a corporate vice president and program manager.
I am passionate about our country's space program, and our ability to inspire the next generation of explorers, by encouraging them to enter fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.
I hope that with this website, I will be able to show you how I can share some of the wonderful experiences that I have had, and give you information on how to contact me so that I can personally share these experiences with you or with your organization. Thank you!
