Online Resources for Questions Inspired by the Aquarius Project #3

Open chrisbresky opened 6 years ago

chrisbresky commented 6 years ago

Stories of science exploration lead to organic inquisitive questions:

  1. Please post online resources in the comments that help answer the questions seen in Issue 2 inspired by The Aquarius Project.

  2. If you are a science professional that are supportive of digital learning please consider sharing your Twitter for future students/educators to communicate with you regarding their questions in the future.

Hey, my name is Josh and I study exoplanetary atmospheres. I'm happy to help with answering questions in the future - @mosphericHayes

Josh,

That is incredible news. Where are you located? Would you be willing to monitor #AquariusAMA today 1-2 CST? Add to any questions, dialogue already there, and add to anything new?

We work with Teen Programs through Far Horizons at the Adler Planetarium. We are working on devising a program that uses a student devised thin Sat to monitor UV Spectra of the surface of the Earth. Having students working on the Sat is great, but we wanted to frame the data analysis through the narrative of exoplanetary analysis. Have students approach the data as scientists "discovering the exoplanet of Earth."

Perhaps you could "shine some light" on how we might do that best.

If anything, thanks for lending your talents to building online accessible, authentic science engagement.

Sincerely,

Chris

Hi Chris,

I'm based at the University of Manchester, UK. I'd be happy to help monitor #AquariusAMA, though don't know if I know enough about the project to contribute on that front.

I"m definitely open to helping frame the context of that project. Perhaps a Skype meeting or email conversation would be more appropriate for this - DM me on Twitter (@mosphericHayes) and we can talk about it some more

bit.ly/aquariusproject will help you get up to speed. If there are questions that relate to atmospheric science, it might be nice to hear your take on them. I understand you being hesitant, it's just exciting to have students able to be heard by professional scientists in real time. Thanks so much.

I'll DM you to talk more about our other project.
