 A few weeks back I was fortunate enough to participate in an Earth Day Tweetup held by the Science Museum of Minnesota. I was invited by NASA Earth Ambassador, Liz Heineke also known as The Kitchen Pantry Scientist, whom I appeared with on the Kare 11 Sunrise Edition News last week to discuss the Earth Dayevents. I am very thankful to Liz for thinking of me and including me in this amazing event!
