“National Lab Day is exactly the type of initiative our country needs. I run a program, called EarthKAM, that takes advantage of our National Lab in space — the International Space Station. It enables more than 60,000 students a year to take pictures of coral reefs, river deltas, and glaciers from space. Programs like this can have an enormous impact. By giving students the opportunity to engage in exciting science and math projects, National Lab Day creates pathways for the next generation of innovative thinkers to rocket us into the next decade. I encourage other scientists to join me in expanding awareness of this terrific campaign.”
