What do space and politics have in common? Big data! Moiya asks Andrea how data science works and she answers with bittersweet examples of how America is less politically polarized than we think.

Guest Star: Dr. Andrea Jones-Rooy is a professor of political science and data science, a comedian, and a circus performer. Check out her website jonesrooy.com and her podcast Behind the Data (an episode with me coming soon!)

About Us

Pale Blue Pod is an astronomy podcast for people who are overwhelmed by the universe but want to be its friend. Astrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier and comedian Corinne Caputo demystify space one topic at a time with open eyes, open arms, and open mouths (from so much laughing and jaw-dropping). By the end of each episode, the cosmos will feel a little less “ahhh too scary” and a lot more “ohhh, so cool!” New episodes every Monday.

Pale Blue Pod is a member of the Multitude Collective.
