00:00:08,980 --> 00:00:13,620
My name is Jessica Harris and I work at Space
Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore,

2
00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:14,620
MD.

3
00:00:14,620 --> 00:00:18,160
I work with Hubble Space Telescope and the
James Webb Space Telescope.

4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,590
I do a lot of outreach to high schools and
middle schools.

5
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:27,220
I bring them a lot of hands-on activities;
things that they can do that will grasp their

6
00:00:27,220 --> 00:00:31,230
attention outside of just the regular, every
day, classroom setting.

7
00:00:31,230 --> 00:00:35,830
When I went off to school, I decided that,
hey I wanted to do physics.

8
00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:39,830
ĘGoing through undergrad and going through
grad school, I realized that I have more of

9
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:42,940
a passion to share this with other people.Ó

10
00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:54,420
I want someone to tell me what that is.

11
00:00:54,420 --> 00:01:03,570
ŌI really want to impact students through
my lifestyle, and being able to be an example

12
00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:07,570
towards them and one of the things I try to
encourage them to do is follow their passion,

13
00:01:07,570 --> 00:01:10,820
most importantly, and one of my passions is
miming.

14
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:13,140
Miming is a non-verbal dance.

15
00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:18,000
It allows me to be more comfortable and just
expressive of myself, a more complete whole

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,200
person.

17
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,340
I'm so glad that I can work at Space Telescope
Science Institute.
