27: Star Trek: Metrics

Metrics of Star Trek. In this episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, hosts Wes Huntington and MacKenzie Flickinger welcome planetary geoscientist Dr. Birko-Katarina Ruzicka to the podcast to talk about her metric articles for Star Trek: Voyager (https://github.com/BirkoRuzicka/Star-Trek-Voyager-IMDb-ratings) and gender of Star Trek (https://github.com/BirkoRuzicka/Star-Trek-Dialogue-Analysis) and how she worked on these during the COVID-19 pandemic and how the Star Trek community has been supportive of the project. She also talks about what a planetary geoscientist does and how she got into her fandom. If you want to reach out to her to work on these things more, you can reach out to her on Twitter or go to her website - which is how she got on the podcast - https://www.birko-ruzicka.de.
