I’m thrilled to share that over and above my flagship [Moon Monday](https://jatan.space/tag/moon-monday) blog+newsletter, I’ve joined the [Open Lunar Foundation](https://www.openlunar.org/) as their ‘Science & Tech Communications Lead’. In that role, I’ll help communicate Open Lunar’s [research work](https://www.openlunar.org/work) on technical and policy building blocks towards cooperative and sustainable lunar exploration for all. Keep an eye out on Open Lunar’s [newsletter](https://www.openlunar.org/newsletter) and [blog](https://www.openlunar.org/blog) in the coming months. 🚀

I’m very excited for this new phase in my partnership with Open Lunar, for it works towards a mission that has so much in common with Moon Monday, and so alongside people and a community I deeply admire. Thanks to [Jessy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessykateschingler/), [Chelsea](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chelsea-robinson-nz/), [Rachel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-williams-67b38810a/), and the team for doing what they have done. 🌙
