HAPPY EARTH SCIENCE WEEK
Every year, AGI (American Geosciences Institute) organizes Earth Science Week "help the public gain a better understanding and appreciation for the Earth sciences and to encourage stewardship of the Earth." (AGI Earth Science Week). This year Earth Science Week is Oct. 14th-Oct. 20th and holds the theme of "Earth as an Inspiration". It is a celebration of the different areas of Earth science and how the Earth inspires us everyday.
To start off the week, check out the newest audioEARTH podcast where hosts Joe and Railey speak with Sally Jewell about how geoscience impacts our daily lives, how young people can get involved with geoscience, and how the Earth inspires us each and every day.
