Professor Jana Grcevich discusses her career journey, love of astronomy

Science professors are sometimes saddled with the stereotype of being reclusive, spending time with their equations but not bothering to share their work with people. Spend one minute with Dr. Jana Grcevich, a part-time astronomy lecturer, and that image will be as far from your mind as Jupiter’s moon Europa is from planet Earth. Far, as she will tell you — about five years by spacecraft if you time it right.
