“I am deeply honored to step into this role at such an important time for the observatory,” she said.
Bosh’s leadership comes at a pivotal time for the observatory as it prepares for the grand opening of its world-class Marley Foundation Astronomy Discovery Center, Saturday, Nov. 16. According to a news release, the Astronomy Discovery Center represents a new era for Lowell, offering immersive experiences and advanced exhibits that bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and public engagement. As part of the celebration, Dr. Bosh will be welcoming the community as well as outlining the observatory’s next plans.
“Her extensive experience in planetary science, along with her proven leadership as chief operating officer makes her the ideal candidate to guide the observatory through this next era of discovery and public engagement,” said Lowell Observatory’s sole trustee, W. Lowell Putnam, about Bosh.
She first joined Lowell Observatory in 1994 and has contributed to a variety of groundbreaking research efforts, including the co-discovery of Pluto’s atmosphere. She also co-founded the Lowell Observatory Native American Astronomy Outreach Program in 1995, which is still running. She has held several roles at the observatory, including operations manager, project director for the Astronomy Discovery Center and chief operating officer.
“I am deeply honored to step into this role at such an important time for the observatory,” she said. “Lowell Observatory has been a beacon of scientific research and education for decades and I look forward to building on this legacy. With the grand opening of the Astronomy Discovery Center and the new science vision, we are positioned to expand both our scientific mission and our outreach efforts in significant ways.” FBN
