Who knew that being a scientist could be as easy as pointing your phone at the sky? This month, NASA and the GLOBE Program are asking citizen scientists to take out their phones and report what kinds of clouds they see above them.
From October 15 to November 15 citizen scientists young, old, and in-between can submit up to ten cloud observations per day using the GLOBE Observer app or one of GLOBE’s other data entry options (for trained members). Participants with the most observations will receive a personalized thank you from a NASA scientist.

This is a link to a petition I signed today.

Please sign!

i wonder if p.b. had flashbacks to her westie days..as she held that bag…

is that instinctual on her part..?..d’yareckon..?
So, really funny. Lady using liberal arts language, of the colonists, declaring how despite being one of the historical successors, doesn't want to acknowledge colonial pakeha history. Writing, health,education, gathered from the four corners arrived with Cook. And if not Cook, then someone eventually, least Maori had been left alone to invent everything… But it's funnier, like those who survived the potato famines, declaring they should be seen as victims of the irish potato famine, surely if there are a group who are victims of colonisation then it's Maori who hand left nz… Look I love that we can openly discuss this, that Maori as well have fantasies about the past too, and yes, wrongs were done. Like the Romans invasion of Britian. Like millions of Europeans that were wiped out be diseases, that then went on to kill millions of indigenous people's too, and then syphilis is found in the Americas!, or Africans with immunity to… All in all, it's great that such an absurdity got on qa. oh, and did cooks crew experience indigenous equivilant invention of the spear, because if you arrived and a angry swarm of locals cones at you, and you had past experience of spear throwing…
