Dr. Elizabeth McDonald on "Multicultural Perspectives of Solar Eclipses"

About the presenter: 

Dr. Liz MacDonald works for NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. She lives and works on the traditional homelands of the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla peoples in what today is known as Walla Walla, WA. She leads a citizen science project called Aurorasaurus (http://www.aurorasaurus.org/), which enlists people to help with community reports, using smartphones and social media to improve predictions of the Northern and Southern Lights.

She also serves the NASA citizen science community as the lead of the Heliophysics Strategic working group. Dr. MacDonald has been studying the glitter of the Northern Lights for 25 years, and it never ceases to amaze her. This has only increased over the last 12 years working with fantastic photographers and passionate volunteers. Outside of work she likes to ski and hike and use iNat and Merlin.

This presentation will be in-person at the Bears Ears Education Center, and available virtually.
