Ryan French
Research Scientist II, Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics
I'm a solar astrophysicist, author and award winning science communicator, working to pursue the mysteries of the Sun using cutting-edge telescopes on the ground and in space. In addition to my scientific work, I strive to share the wonders of the Sun, space and eclipses with the public through popular astronomy books, social media, and public speaking.
