Nautilus magazine was kind enough to include my entry on being in the Young Astronauts in their Spark of Science series, which consits of short posts about how people first became interested in science.
Submission is open, and there are some really cool entries, like Hope Jahren on playing with lasers in her father’s lab, Caleb Scharf on his rural childhood and being immersed in the universe, and Max Tegmark on reading Richard Feynman and detective fiction.
