Trisha Muro’s favorite summer camp was Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala. She’s wanted to be an astronaut for as long as she can remember, and she’s always searching for dark night skies. She studied physics and astronomy in college at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. She took lots of math and science courses (her favorite was about the relationship between electricity, magnetism and light). She also earned a graduate degree in teaching, and she’s currently finishing another master’s degree in science writing. Trisha loves to learn new things.  

She is terrible with puns, but she loves them anyway. There’s always a stack of books she wants to read, and she is currently working on writing a book of her own! In her spare time, she loves imagining maps of the cosmos, going on long runs outside and experimenting with candymaking — it’s science in the kitchen!
