Episode 71 Earth Day + webcast = Earthcast10

This week we started talking about the impact of the volcanic eruption in Iceland. Real-time science connections! This led to Earthcast, a 24 hour webcast on Earth Day, April 22. The Earthcast will be hosted on Worldbridges on the Earthbridges channel. We were able to get a few more people to sign up to participate, in fact all three Conversations hosts will be participating! What will your school, organization or you do on Earth Day? For more information, go to http://earthbridges.net or the wiki (http://earthbridges.wikispaces.com).

Audio, video and chat are located here.
