“When Fraser Cain and I started this show in 2006, we had no idea that we’d accomplish so much more than just educating people about science,” said Pamela Gay, Director of CosmoQuest and co-host of Astronomy Cast. “I can’t tell you how many times a postdoc or grad student – so often a woman – has come up and said they’ve been listening to our show since they were a child, and now they are an astronomer. Representation matters.”
