Meet an Astronomer: Eli Bressert

In this latest installment of our series, we sit down with Eli Bressert.

He helps find, track and develop the Chandra stories that we publicize, and he's instrumental in striking the right balance between scientific detail and public understanding.

Let's face it, scientists - and science itself - can seem a little off-putting. This hopefully will make both of those feel a little more accessible and personal.
