Shelby Highsmith
About: I'm into rocket science; science, technology & security policy; political communications and citizen journalism; and riding bikes. And shiny objects I can't afford.
After a tour as Communications Chair for the Young Democrats of Atlanta, I went off on my own to do some web work with a presidential campaign (that didn't survive Iowa), some o' that "citizen journalism" with Huffington Post's Off the Bus team, and am now the Georgia correspondent for MTV's Choose or Lose '08 election coverage.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to finish a PhD in mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech.
