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.
4. FACEBOOK LIVE: Even if you do watch the episode online instead of on television, be sure to tune in to the The Crowd & The Cloud Facebook page (also linked to from the GLOBE Observer Facebook page) on Thursday, 20 April for a special Q & A with the participants of the episode. Look for that at 10 pm ET and again at 10 pm PT.
5. WEEKLY VIDEO: See last week's favorite cloud observation submissions from around the world on our Facebook page. And don't forget to share your favorite photos with us by tagging us on Facebook and Twitter: #NASAGO.
