Science Stories

We have made the difficult decision not to renew our Star Trek™ license with Paramount. This post details the hows and the whys of that decision, and celebrates our past 5 years on this incredible journey.

In case you missed any of this spooky season's celebrations, I've compiled them all here. Enjoy scrolling through 2022's #TrickOrTribble cosplays. 

We recently returned from an amazing time at the 56 Year Mission Event at Bally's. Here's a photographic look back at our memories from the 2022 Vendor's Room.

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, I thought I'd take this opportunity to reflect on the role that Star Trek has played in our relationship.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. You may have guessed, based on the daily Tribble cosplay costumes in the month of October. I've compiled all of this month's spooky fun right here. Tell me in the comments what you'd like to see the #TribblesInTrouble dress up as next year!

As places start opening back up and people start preparing to beam into convention centers again, I thought this would be a fun opportunity to share some of my favorite Tribble cosplays that Jay and I have put together over the past couple of years.

On March 26, 2020, the first ever shipment of App-enabled Tribbles beamed into Science Division headquarters. I reflect on our first year as a fully-operational business during COVID-19. It wasn't the year we had planned, but the new friends we made and adventures we had along the way made the journey worth it.

In honor of Women's History Month, I've asked a very special friend, Tamia Harper of the SyFy Sistas, to share with us some thoughts drawn from her life experiences. 

This blog post features a few of my favorite Star Trek: Original Series aliens and creatures from my childhood by evaluating them based on their potential to inspire imaginative playtime. I combine colorful analysis with my own photos and content to demonstrate which aliens are the most fun to reenact.

Since today is Jay's birthday, I figured it was only appropriate to write this month's blog post about his assimilation into the Star Trek fandom. If you follow us on social media then you know that I was born and raised a Trekkie. My husband, Jay, was not. He was, however, a fan of Science Fiction, so I knew there was hope. 

What a year 2020 has been! While the year was certainly not what we expected, it was full of amazing experiences for the two of us and our small business that I wouldn't trade for the world. 

Our journey has taken a course so different from the one we originally plotted for ourselves. We are living in a time when planning, while necessary, doesn't always--or even usually--work. Things are changing now in ways we never would have imagined, and innovation is emerging from that uncertainty.
