WATCH: Michelle Thaller’s First Clue

Ladies and gentle-readers. Meet your second scientist of the season, Michelle Thaller. Having seen her “30 Second Science” video, you know that Michelle studies the stars. But what does she do outside of her post at NASA? Here’s your first clue.


Confused? Allow us to explain. A French hood was a type of headgear popular among sixteenth century women, when a certain copper-topped, chronically single queen was running the show in England. You know the one. The music in this clue also hails from the Elizabethan time period.

Are we painting you a picture? If you’re still confused, stay tuned. We’ll be dropping three more clues ahead of Michelle’s premiere this Thursday, October 25th.

Meanwhile, post your theories in the comment section below!
