Elizabeth Cole

Elizabeth Jane Cole is the director of operations of Offworld Voyage, an astronaut training project focused on the design and development of modular and self-contained ecologically sustainable all-vegan Earth-based space analog research habitats.

She is a co founder of Evil Twin Booking Agency, a speakers agency dedicated to advancing new ideas while transforming culture. The agency was created as a culture jamming project that challenged institutions of power by bringing emerging ideas from science, journalism and environmental activism into the broader culture. While running the company she has helped develop the concept, story and strategy for projects that promote rational thought, access to information, and intelligent debate as well as independent critical thinking.

She is a core committee member of the Journal for Space Analog Research (JSAR), a project of the Mars Society. She is an alumna of the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS).

In the past she has enjoyed writing for Wired Magazine and other publications.

She has also written and produced an episode for NPR's Love and Radio Podcast.

She is currently working on a piece about her time in an astronaut simulation at the Mars Desert Research Station as the Crew Journalist.
