3. MOSQUITOES: Thursday, 20 April at both 9 pm ET and 9 pm PT, on your local public television station, you can watch a web episode that features the upcoming GLOBE Observer: Mosquito Habitat Mapper (MHM).

(GLOBE Observer is proud to be featured in The Crowd & The Cloud, a new four-part documentary from PBS World that discusses the power of citizen science. Episode 3 features MHM and is titled: “Viral vs Virus.”)

If you would rather not wait until Thursday you can watch the episode already on The Crowd & The Cloud website.

Look for that at 10 pm ET and again at 10 pm PT.
