Today’s Episode: Interview with Michelle Larson, President and CEO at Adler Planetarium

Michelle Larson attributes her career path to looking up, literally. Growing up in Alaska she

enjoyed the beauty of the Northern Lights, and she became further captivated by astronomy in

her 20s when she pointed a pair of binoculars at the Moon. The stunning details visible on its

craggy surface were a complete surprise, and the experience left her eager to explore what

other secrets the cosmos had to offer. Now, as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the

Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Michelle leads a talented team that connects people to the

Universe and each other under the sky we all share.

Since Michelle joined the Adler Planetarium in 2013, that team has found new and innovative

ways to meet people wherever they are and welcome them into the scientific community. The

museum has expanded astronomy programming and partnerships in neighborhoods across

Chicago; developed online experiences that engage people around the world through virtual

field trips, sky observing hangouts, and even a space comedy show; and the Adler remains

home to Earth’s largest platform for citizen science, the Zooniverse—an online tool that

connects researchers with millions of volunteers around the globe.

Michelle earned her PhD in physics from Montana State University, and serves on several

national and Chicago-area advisory boards. She lives just outside Chicago with her

husband—who is also an astrophysicist—their daughter, and three cats.
