    • Patten expresses her goal to to inspire the next generation through her life story

    Great Lakes Science Center partnered with Patten to host a show of the film “Ireland” in the Cleveland Clinic DOME Theater. Patten was also accompanied by the Irish Consul General, deputy consul and Honorary Consul of Ireland for Ohio.

    Patten works with the International Institute for Astronautical Sciences as an aeronautical engineer and bioastronautics researcher and has experience in microgravity research, commercial spacesuit testing and emergency egress operations. Her upcoming IIAS-02 Mission will mark her first spaceflight and make her Ireland’s first astronaut.

    The film “Ireland,” narrated by Liam Neeson, takes viewers on a journey across the Emerald Isle. The MacGillivray Freeman film follows Irish writer Manchán Magan, violinist Patricia Treacy and four Irish teens as they explore the country’s history and natural landmarks.

    The screening featured locations including the Cliffs of Moher, Giant’s Causeway and the Skellig Islands, where scientists study Atlantic puffin populations.

As that 11-year-old little girl, I was on as that 11-year-old little girl, I was on and my dad’s cousin took us to NASA and, you know, got us in to see the wind tunnels and meet some of the staff,” said Patten. “So literally that has, you know, as they say, shaped the course of my life and the trajectory of my career and has really just been that moment to spark an interest and lifelong love of exploration and learning about astronauts and how people travel to space and live off Earth. So yeah, it’s been a long journey since then, but how amazing and incredible it is now to finally have secured this opportunity to fly to space as a researcher.”

    Patten is a STEM advocate and award-winning children’s book author. She hopes her journey inspires young people, including her own daughter.

    “You know, it’s phenomenal. I’m a mom, I have a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter at home in Ireland and I just feel like for her generation growing up, I hope they’ll take a little bit of inspiration and hope from my own journey,” said Patten. “I like to say this was an impossible dream, but through many years, many decades actually of hard work and persistence and really never given up, I have somehow managed to pave that impossible path.”

    Her 2019 children’s book “Shooting for the Stars” won A Post Children’s Book of the Year in the senior category. Patten was also a former global faculty member at the International Space University and currently works in Dublin.

  • Budgeting tips to get Ohioans ready for the holidays

    [ad_1]

    OHIO — As the holiday season inches closer and closer, Ohioans are most likely looking for some effective tips to get their budget back on track after an active summer luckily, Ohio Department of Commerce has highlighted a few simple tips.

    What You Need To Know

    • Ohio Department of Commerce offered a few budgeting tips to help reduce credit card debt

    • It was found that in 2024, 36% of Americans took on debt from the holidays

    • As of Sep. 2025, the U.S.’s total outstanding debt is $1.21 trillion

    Division Superintendent Kevin Allard said LendingTree found that 36% of Americans took on holiday debt in 2024.

    “The last thing you want to do is keep piling on debt; the more debt you reduce now means less debt you’ll need to address later. Credit cards are an important and helpful tool in our daily lives, but there are always efforts you can undertake to ensure your debt level does not get beyond your means to handle,” Allard said. “Taking action now can help ensure you are able to enjoy the upcoming holiday season without radically adjusting your plans.”

    The Federal Reserve Bank of New York released a report Aug. 2025 stating that the total credit card balances in the U.S. rose by $27 billion during the second quarter of 2025, making the total outstanding debt as of Sep. 2025 $1.21 trillion.

    The National Foundation for Credit Counseling conducted a survey that found 13% of Americans made less than the minimum required payment on their credit cards at some point over the past six months, which is up from 8% earlier this year.

    Ohio Department of Commerce offered a few budgeting tips to help consumers manage any credit card debt they may have accrued and avoid creating more.

    The Division has suggested the following tips:

    • Creating a budget to track income and expenses.
    • Contacting the creditors directly if there is a problem making payments.
    • Choose and implement a payoff strategy to help find the best way to tackle credit card debt.
    • Beware of scam companies that promise to eliminate your debt for an upfront fee and do not provide any personal financial information to unsolicited callers.

    Nonprofit credit counseling services are often provided through credit unions, universities, or organizations like the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC).

    The Division also offers more tools and information to help Ohioans reduce their debt and improve their credit score on their website.
