Bridget Landry was educated as a chemist and planetary scientist, and works as an engineer (go fig).   She has worked on the Hubble Space Telescope, the oceanographic Earth orbiter Topex, the (wildly successful!) Mars Pathfinder project and the Cassini mission to Saturn.   In her technical hat, Bridget has been on science panels at WorldCons, local, and regional conventions.   She also takes great interest in the advancement of women in technical fields, and the problem of sparking and maintaining girls’ early interest in science and math.   In addition, Ms. Landry is a Master-level costumer with a twisted sense of humor (ask about the Strauss Waltz Assault Team).   She has won both presentation and workmanship awards, participating in costuming panels and workshops, from the local to the WorldCon level.
