Hey, Gaia Fans! Your “Solstice Surprise” is finally here! Listen to Radio Gaia on Blog Talk Radio
Click the above on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31st at 3pm (eastern time) to listen online as I read the first two chapters of Gaia Girls Air Apparent! I will let you in on some of my writing secrets and tell you what is coming up in 2010 for Gaia Girls.
Hi All,
I had something great lined up for this evening. However, in my role a city councilman (and soon-to-be deputy mayor!) I was called into a meeting this evening. I’m very sorry and will reschedule the Solstice Surprise soon.
The George Lucas Education Foundation’s fantastic resource, Edutopia, had a recent post from a retired 5th/6th grade teacher recommending Gaia Girls Book Series for an ELA/Science unit. Yeah!
Take a listen to this short piece on NPR, All Things Considered. It is about the Navy’s use of sea lions,seals, & dolphins for national security.
What are your thoughts? Do you think this is different than using guard dogs? Should the navy do more to protect wild populations of cetaceans (whales & dolphins) and pinnipeds (seals & sea lions)?
When Jane Goodall discovered that chimpanzees make tools, the scientific world was amazed. After all, they thought at that time, only humans had the brains, foresight, and dexterity to fashion tools.
Turns out, cetaceans, elephants, otters and birds like this crow, make tools.
I love these little reminders that intelligence flourishes outside the human species!
