Dr. Moiya McTier is an astrophysicist, folklorist, and science communicator based in NYC. After graduating from Harvard with the school’s first ever joint degree in astro and mythology, she went on to be the first Black woman to earn an astronomy PhD at Columbia. Now Dr. Moiya shares her knowledge through podcasts like her cozy space-focused Pale Blue Pod, shows like PBS’s Fate & Fabled, and books like The Milky Way galaxy’s own autobiography. Dr. Moiya loves fantasy books, her two cats, and shit-talking generative AI.
