Videos Featuring My Wumbology

"Every Planet's Closest Neighbor Is the Same One" CGP Grey. Definitely the most viewed video about anything I made. It was really fun working with Grey.

"You've Been Wrong About the Closest Planet" CGP Grey. I think this video is the best commentary of that article I've seen.

"The Assassin Problem" singingbanana. These days James is often featured on a more popular channel, Numberphile. James was always great back then about interacting with his viewers, and this collaboration really inspired me to think more about math as a personal interest and not just something requisite for my job.

Articles Featuring My Wumbology

"Which planet is closest to Earth? (Hint: There's more than 1 right answer.)" Live Science. This won't be the most famous outlet to write about my article, but Harry at Live Science was the only one to actually interview me. I think his article is best because he took time to understand, not just clickbait.

"Nuclear Scholars Initiative Class of 2022" CSIS PONI. This isn't really an article, but it was an honor to be a part of this program. I'm proud just to see my own name among all these other incredible professionals.

"What’s the Closest Planet to Earth? Surprise, It’s Mercury" Popular Mechanics

"The most popular Physics Today articles of 2019" Physics Today. Not just 2019 either. According to Altmetric, this was their most popular article of all time and remained there for several years.

"Mercury (planet)" Wikipedia. Despite my article being silly, I'm pretty proud to be cited on the wiki page for two planets.

"Venus" Wikipedia

"Apparently even NASA is wrong about which planet is closest to Earth" Big Think. I can't say I endorse their title, but it does get clicks.

"Mercury, Not Venus, Is the Closest Planet to Earth" Gizmodo

"Venus isn't our closest neighbor in the solar system, according to new findings" Business Insider

"Which Planet Is Closest To Earth? Ok, Now Guess Again." IFL Science
