Hi, I'm Clara Moskowitz, senior editor for space and physics at Scientific American.

Like many kids, I once dreamed of becoming an astronaut.

While I never made it to space, my work at Scientific American has given me the next best thing,

exploring the cosmos through stories and sharing its wonders with science lovers like you.

When I research a story, I immerse myself in the reporting

to bring you an exciting and accurate account. Over the years, I've covered breathtaking rocket

To help make the procedure and its effects as realistic as possible, the folks behind Severance

brought on a real-life neurosurgeon to consult on the show.
