On Episode 1 of #LearningStories we chat with Jatan Mehta. Jatan is a science writer passionate about humanity's future in space. He was the former science officer at TeamIndus Moon Mission. His writing portfolio can be found at jatan.space and you can find him on Twitter @uncertainquark. He writes the popular substack newsletters, 'Moon Monday' and 'Space Impact'. He is currently a contributing editor to Planetary Society. Show Notes  1) Use the Internet as tool to build an audience for something you are passionate about.   2) Be creative with how you reach out to other like-minded people (Twitter, physical conferences).  3) Develop expertise in the areas you want to create some value in. Any and all kinds of education matter.   4) Learn about people that inspire you by studying their work on the Internet.   5) Start with something small and try to create something of value for a small group of people.   6) Find the medium that works best for you on the Internet. You do not have to be an expert on all mediums (long video, short video, text, audio, images).   7) You can build something from your couch at home and share it with a global audience using the Internet as a tool. That is a beautiful idea!
