He has worked at the Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium in Centerport, NY, where he dazzled audiences with planetarium shows that he wrote and delivered himself.<br \/>\nAs an on-campus student in the UND Space Studies program, Sean was put in charge of the university\u2019s high altitude ballooning program and organized several ballooning competitions for middle school and high school students. Sean completed a summer internship in 2015 at NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center in Maryland, working on a project that tracked the aurora borealis globally in real-time. He will be working at the observatory and pursuing a graduate minor in Geology as of Fall 2015, pursuing his interests in astrobiology and exoplanets.<\/p>\n<p><em>For information on the Brown Bag Seminar Series, please contact Space Studies faculty member <a href=\"mailto:vrygalov@aero.und.edu\">Dr. Vadim Rygalov<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fall semester Brown Bag Seminar Series features graduate students providing presentations on their current research and recent internships.\u00a0 This series continues on Wednesday, October 7th, featuring grad student Sean McCloat presenting \u201cEngaging the Aurorasaurus Citizen Science Project: From Space Weather to Social Media\u201d.
