I’ve been out and about for outreach!

Teacher Day and NASA Night

It’s so great to see how many people are excited about polar science. I got a chance to meet hundreds interested teachers at Aquarium of the Pacific’s Teacher Day. I can’t wait to see all of the great ideas their students want to “Take a Closer Look at…

I also got to chat with hundreds of families excited about science and data at Aquarium of the Pacific’s NASA Night! We had a blast exploring different kinds of data and learning about all types of scientists.

I even got a little time to explore the Aquarium and see some of the wide ranging animals they have. Some of their animals that can also be found in the Southern Ocean!
