Tessa Fisher is a PhD candidate, astrobiologist, SFF author, and advocate for LGBT visibility in the sciences. Her research is primarily focused on using network theory to hopefully develop better biosignatures and technosignatures for exoplanets, based on their atmospheric composition. This approach, versatile and resilient in the face of high uncertainty, also offers the possibility of a universal biosignature, independent of the biochemistry involved.
When not doing science, her other passions include burlesque dancing, singing in the Phoenix Women’s Chorus, co-hosting the podcast Assigned Scientist at Bachelor’s, and writing LGBT-positive science fiction and fantasy. She resides in Tempe with her wife, along with a fairly aloof bearded dragon. To find out more, visit her website, or follow her on Twitter @spacermase. |
