Science & Tech

Christine is passionate about the innovation that occurs at the intersection of the arts and sciences. When working at NASA for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Mission, she had an opportunity to assist the Mission Design Lab (MDL) and learn about the power of open data. She led Team Artemis in two competitions at NASA’s International Space Apps Challenge, the largest open data hackathon in the world, and was awarded First Place two years in a row. Christine then launched Hubble Financial at NASA Space Apps with NASA’s Head of Data and now serves as Director of NASA Space Apps of Washington DC.

Stars Align with Constellation Theatre and Nobel Laureate of the James Webb Telescope

Peter Stockman and Nobel Physicist, John Mather are two senior project scientists of the James Webb Telescope at NASA. Allison Stockman, daughter to Peter Stockman is my Director of Urinetown at Source Theatre and the Artistic Director of Constellation Theatre Company in Washington D.C. She mentioned that one of the reasons why she decided to name her company "Constellation" was because of her father's love for space science. The moment I knew that John Mather and Peter Stockman were in the theatre and will see me perform was a moment I will never forget. If you appreciate the application of the principles of string theory, you may value a moment in time like this. On this day, my passion for the arts and science overlapped. I'll never say that parallel universes don't collide!
