This fork-in-the-road was an incredible opportunity to be among all these stellar individuals who spoke at the H2M Summit. This image of speakers listed alphabetically during the H2M summit is an incredible reminder of how far I’ve come but also a humble reminder that I’m incredibly grateful to Explore Mars for inviting me to speak at this event. I had dinner with Grant Anderson earlier this year at Sci-Tech 2020 while conversing about space health and the NASA twins study which covered a multidimensional analysis of a year-long human spaceflight trip of astronauts Mark and Scott Kelly. Grant is one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever met in person. I’ve conversed with Ellen Stofan recently about diversity in aerospace and my impact in SEDS-USA. I’ve learned to communicate better about science topics from Emily Calandrelli through her inspiring and educational shows, tik-toks, and tweets. Not pictured is Dr. Danielle Wood who I had the privilege of seeing speak earlier this year at Sci-Tech 2020 as an AIAA Diversity Scholar. Dr. Wood is a great public keynote speaker and is an incredibly intelligent professor. I had the privilege of onboarding, Dr. Wood, as an advisor for SEDS-USA. Lastly, I have the greatest mentor in the world, he goes by the name of J.R. Edwards. J.R. is another incredible public speaker and dynamic industry leader who I now have onboard my spaceship as I prep for an interesting career in the aerospace industry. https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/Artemis+Generation monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/Forbes+List monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/IAC+2019 monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/Students monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/NASA monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/Luck monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/SEDS-USA monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/Advisors monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/Media monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/Reflection monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/Mentors monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/category/Public+Speaking monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/tag/COVID-19 monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/tag/Personal+Struggle monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/tag/Inspirational monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/tag/%23HumantoMars monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/media/tag/Speaking monthly 0.5 https://www.georgesarkodie.com/home daily 1.0 2021-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74c46ccd09765fde623dfa/1601530289798-OB1ELF3LPR13W2VG1MV0/IMG_2851.jpg Home - Humans to Mars 2020 Summit I had the pleasure of speaking about space education on the MARS EDU: LAUNCHING THE JOURNEY TO MARS panel.

AAC will be an essential function of SIG's advocacy within the aerospace industry. The AAC will have representatives within each state or region (outside of the United States) with an aerospace market or interest. The Ambassadors will report to the executive board. The function of the ambassador is centered on supporting aerospace engagement opportunities within their community with an executive board member or NSBE Research project lead. Engagement opportunities include conferences and outreach. Through this assignment, ambassadors have the opportunity to engage in development activities and function as an Aerospace leader within their communities. There will be one ambassador per state or region. This is an opportunity to gain some transferable skills to work for those interested in growing or enhancing his or her skills in public speaking, product development, and negotiations within the Aerospace industry. https://www.georgesarkodie.com/career/zed-factor-fellowship monthly 0.5 2021-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74c46ccd09765fde623dfa/1609873733185-2YAN1LW89BT6W5HMAAK4/zff-logo-textonly.png Career - Zed Factor Fellowship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74c46ccd09765fde623dfa/1609873766065-X393QZ37RWSZI3Y59QER/Launching+a+Community.png Career - Zed Factor Fellowship https://www.georgesarkodie.com/career/sedsusa monthly 0.5 2021-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74c46ccd09765fde623dfa/1607302306094-SOTYPA92PA5RS1LNNN8Z/DSC_1806.jpeg Career - SEDS-USA - Newspace Conference, Summer 2019 Newspace Conference, Summer of 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74c46ccd09765fde623dfa/1607302402291-HH3GXN1R9K9RZ3K16SBI/98175364_2938962066230524_6708429184785448960_o.jpg Career - SEDS-USA Satellite 2020 Conference, March 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74c46ccd09765fde623dfa/1608231814614-9SVX1STIPUY4KR9476NI/IMG_3281.JPG Career - SEDS-USA https://www.georgesarkodie.com/career/ecker-lab monthly 0.5 2021-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f74c46ccd09765fde623dfa/1601536880649-0E86GF0N7CXJ24FZMGRI/lab+picture-1.PNG Career - Ecker Lab: Smart Polymers for Biomedical Applications Visit Dr. Ecker’s lab she has some really cool research going on at UNT.
