I'm the Planetary Society blogger, once a planetary geologist, now a writer and mom, writing about great space images and mission news.

Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

Yeah, when I get too excited about launches and stuff.

What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?

Mars rover driver @marsroverdriver.

How do you make your tweets unique?

I don't know how unique they are, but I do my best!

Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?

Spirit. Opportunity. Cassini. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Mars Express. Odyssey.

How long can you go without a tweet?

Only until something happens out there in space that has no respect for my own schedule!

What are some big Twitter faux pas?

Oh, that's easy, Tweeting when you meant to DM. Funny how people's Twitter voices are different when that happens.

Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?

I admire @MarsPhoenix, who started the trend of Tweeting spacecraft.

Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?

I unfollow people who suddenly start tweeting several times a day about non-space stuff and who aren't funny.
