In celebration of NDEAM, meet Dana Bolles, who has been part of the NASA family for 26+ years. In addition to working as a science communicator, she’s an ambassador for a program designed to advance disability inclusion in space exploration:
webchat series. Much of my outreach is speaking to younger kids and students and encouraging them. It's really fulfilling.
I love NASA. NASA is a great agency to work for because I love the fact that we're here to serve the American people. We not only have amazing spacecraft exploring our solar system and beyond, we also have quite a few satellites looking back at Earth and helping with things such as disaster relief, agriculture, etc. I just think that's the best thing – that we are here not only to enable space exploration but also to help the people here at home.
As disabled people, we end up having to work harder to prove ourselves all the time. To overcome that, just show people that they're wrong for putting you in these little boxes, and thinking you can't do more.
