Did Sahra-Josephine Hjorth claim to work for NASA?

NOT SUPPORTED BY REVIEWED PRIMARY SOURCES

Claim reported

Reporting concerning my work at NASA Ames blurred the distinction between teaching for Singularity University at NASA Ames Research Center and working for NASA.

What I actually stated

My CV identified the affiliation as:

Singularity University, Denmark and the United States - Faculty, Future of Learning

It then described:

interactive workshops across Denmark and at the NASA Ames Research Centre.

It did not identify NASA as my employer.

Singularity University's own record

In January 2018, SingularityU Nordic invited me to its Faculty Certification and Development Program.

Kris Østergaard wrote:

The official program runs from February 20 in the morning at SU HQ on the Nasa Campus

and explained that the Navy Lodge was:

located right outside of the Nasa Campus where SU has its HQ.

The same email explained that, following certification, Nordic faculty would also become part of the global SingularityU faculty.

This establishes the relevant distinction directly from Singularity:

Singularity University was the affiliation. NASA Ames was the location.

Assessment

No reviewed primary source shows me claiming to be employed by, contracted by, or teaching for NASA.

The reviewed primary sources describe me as Singularity University faculty teaching at NASA Ames Research Center.
