NASA's Dr Nicky Fox was just 9 months old when Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon.
In England, Nicky's father is said to have propped her up in front of the TV to watch those famous first steps while giving her a running commentary as the event unfolded. It was the start of a life-long interest in science and space.
Dr. Nicky Fox joined NASA in 2018 as the director of the Heliophysics Division in the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and is now the associate administrator for NASA's SMD.
Prior to August 2018, Dr. Fox worked at the Applied Physics Lab at the Johns Hopkins University.
She has authored numerous scientific articles and papers, in addition to delivering science presentations worldwide.
