Dr Jasmina chats with our astronomy student Alexandra Ryan, who has attended the International Astronautics Congress (IAC) this year. After her 2nd year of studies, Alex attended the Southern Hemisphere International Space University (ISU) Space Studies program over the period of 6 weeks, which then led to her presentation at the IAC. Alex is now finishing her 3rd year and has been accepted into the CSIRO Vacation Scholarship program over the summer.
