Alouette
I’ve just completed an article on the 1962 launch of the Alouette satellite for a government client. Alouette was Canada’s first satellite, and so successful that it literally launched this country into the space age. One of the great joys of working on the project was the chance to sit down and talk to some of the engineers and researchers who designed and built the original spacecraft. The engineering model of Alouette is in the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa.

My article on developing satellite communications systems for the high Arctic should be up on CRC's Eye on Technology in October, along with a series of audio clips I produced featuring engineers and scientists involved in building Canada's first satellite, Alouette.

If you’re interested in the cutting edge of high-tech crime, the article I wrote on Steganalysis might interest you. When the researcher told me you could hide the full text of the Bible in a single .jpeg snapshot I was blown away.

If you want to find out what I’m up to right now, you can check out my Twitter page. My user name is CanScienceTwit.
I started my own Twitter page not only to make connections in the science communications/science education community, but also to get a sense of how this kind of social media can be effectively used in science communications.
I’m just getting started, so if you have thoughts on this (and/or blogs and twitter pages related to science communications) please zap me an e-mail or send me twitter mail.
