Cross-post: STARtorialist BOOTH-tique at AAS 231
Posted by

Need to do some last-minute Holiday shopping? STARtorialist is an astronomy fashion blog (also on Twitter, Instagram, & Facebook), run by by Emily Rice and Summer Ash, that curates and shares astronomy and science-themed clothing, accessories, decor, and more. This is one of the projects supported by ScienceBetter Consulting, the business venture inspired by the success of AstroBetter. The plan is for the business activities to cover the costs of maintaining the blog and support the generation of new content. Even better, for the first time ever, astronomers are going to be able to buy items directly from STARtorialist via their BOOTH-tique at AAS 231 in National Harbor, MD, featuring hundreds of items from our favorite designers.
They have made eGift Cards available for purchase before the conference which will be redeemable at the BOOTH-tique. These would make fabulous gifts for anyone attending AAS 231, so astronomers, it’s time to update your wish lists! This would be an excellent way to show support and appreciation for your friends and colleagues attending the meeting.
