U.S. GLOBE Teachers and Partners: Join the Watercoolers in March! Watercoolers, which start at 04:10 p.m. EST, are an informal opportunity to connect with other GLOBE teachers and partners to share ideas. Each week begins with a presentation from a teacher or partner, with time for questions and conversation following.  >>

GLOBE has a long history of sharing impact and science findings through peer-reviewed publications on the GLOBE website. The peer-review process ensures that published articles represent the best scholarship currently available. (Each article that is submitted to a peer-reviewed journal is sent to other scholars in the same field in order to get their opinion on the quality of research, the relevance to the field, and its appropriateness for inclusion in the journal.)  >>

GLOBE’s data entry process is evolving to give you a new option that is even easier to use: all atmosphere protocols will now be available in the GLOBE Observer (GO) app. Trained and approved GLOBE members (i.e., those who already have access to the Data Entry app) may submit atmospheric measurements, such as temperature and rainfall, as well as bundle data, directly using the GO app. Future work will move other existing sphere protocols into the app.  >>

Congratulations to the twelve GLOBE countries celebrating anniversaries of successful GLOBE implementation during the month of March.  >>

At this week's Watercooler, U.S. GLOBE Partner Forum representative Tina Harte (NASA representative, NASA Langley) will introduce herself and talk about her Partnership.  >>

On 01 March, at 03:00 p.m. ET, join: “Citizen Science: A Means to Promote Equity and Inclusion in STEM,” which is part of the Mitchell Center Talk Series. The talk will be hosted by Amara Ifeji, Freshman, Northeastern University; Grassroots Development Coordinator, Maine Environmental Education Association  >>

Have you had a chance to check out the new “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) blogging portal now available on the GLOBE website? Rosalba Giarratano, NASA Pathways Intern, and member of the GLOBE Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Working Group, is blogging about diversity, equity, inclusion, and GLOBE!  >>

Are you participating in the 2021 IVSS? Then you’ll want to check out GLOBE’s “Science Practices: Analyzing Data” resource page today!  >>

The GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO) is looking for judges for the 2021 IVSS. The IVSS is a way for students from all over the world to showcase their hands-on scientific efforts with The GLOBE Program. Judging consists of filling out a Google form with scores and feedback on the student's project. Each project takes around 20-30 minutes to assess. Judges should be fluent in at least one of the following languages: English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Croatia  >>

GLOBE Partner UCAR Center for Science Education (SciEd) is hosting regular “Meet the Experts Live Question and Answer Sessions.” Join SciEd as they talk with experts to learn about what they do in their work, the highlights and challenges, and how it impacts us and our world. Then ask them anything you want to know about what it's like to do their jobs! The program will last approximately 20 minutes.  >>
