She'll talk about the voyage of NASA's historic mission to Pluto, which culminated with the first flight past the distant dwarf planet on July 14, 2015, and is now preparing for a January 1, 2019, encounter with the Kuiper Belt Object 2014 MU 69.
Starting with her childhood passion of absorbing space news and science fiction, Alice carried her love of science and technology through college and into an early career that included researching drug-delivery systems, crafting computer simulations, and working with infrared detectors that peered into the deepest reaches of outer space. Those were among the experiences that prepared her for the mission of a lifetime - and she'll speak about piloting the New Horizons spacecraft across the solar system on a fantastic voyage to farthest reaches of the planetary frontier.
