Dr. Caio França speaking at the Science Museum Oklahoma. Oklahoma is an ecologically diverse state in the Southern Plains region of the U.S. It is part of the central flyway for migratory birds, which makes it a sentinel location for West Nile Virus (WNV) surveillance. Why birds? Birds play a role in the WNV transmission cycle. Mosquitoes become infected with WNV when they bite an infected bird. Birds can develop high levels of the virus in their bloodstream. Because WNV is usually non-lethal in birds, birds serve as reservoir hosts. In disease ecology, there are organisms that serve as...

Each month I create and submit a report detailing the GLOBE happenings shared with me from all over the United States and my activities. These reports usually include GLOBE Partnership updates along with special sections on the Student Research Symposia, communications and projects.

I spent some time seeing what a monthly blog would look like if I started with those reports…so here is June 2019…one year ago. Partner News There is a new GLOBE Partnership: Saving Our Sons and...

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-4fUApuDNAoaThyWjVrZ0JuZno4NTNtTXMyNURRRFV4RUdR English/Español On July 2nd we´ve seen a wonderful astronomical event, teachers and students, all together at school: a solar eclipse! The sun partially “disappeared” (almost 80%) for a period of three minutes. It started at 16:15 and continued until 18:30 (local hour). Students were looking for the sun in the sky, using special solar viewing glasses provided by NASA. The observations began early in the afternoon, and suddenly... it was happening! What a surprise! Everbody was expecting the chance for...

        You may have heard the news- there is an exciting challenge this summer for GLOBE Observer users! The challenge follows in the spirit of early cartographers, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and you can win one of two ways. First, use GLOBE Observer to map as much land cover as possible in any GLOBE country by September 2. The top data collectors in each GLOBE region will be recognized. Or, for U.S. users, head to the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail between Pittsburgh, PA and the Oregon Coast, and take Land Cover and Mosquito Habitat...
