Captains’ Logs and Lightsabers main show is back after a few months’ hiatus with an extra-special episode.  Jonathan and Chris had an incredible opportunity to interview Dr. Erin MacDonald,  a PhD in Astophysics from the University of Glasgow in Scotland!  MacDonald, in 2019, was hired as the official science consultant for the ever-expanding Star Trek Universe and currently works on all shows in development.  Dr. Erin talks about her love of both franchises, her strong connections to Star Wars Rebels and Kathryn Janeway, how her love of Star Trek led to working on the franchise, and the science behind warp travel.  Will humanity experience First Contact Day in 2063, or is this event purely a work of science fiction?  Listen and find out the answer!Contact Dr. Erin MacDonaldWebsite: http://www.erinpmacdonald.comInstagram: @drerinmacTwitter: @drerinmacContact the HostsJonathan - justadisneygeek on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube Chris - @chrisstough1 or @PghTrekChat on Twitter, Pittsburgh's Trek Chat on YouTube Email [email protected] with Geek News Now Twitter - @GNN_Home Facebook - Geek News Now Website - www.geeknewsnow.net --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cllpodcast/message
