| Join NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory for Space Weather Explorers Week – Monday, April 21 - Friday, April 25 – to learn about the Sun and its influence throughout the solar system, especially on Earth. Explore the website to find STEM information, activities, and puzzles to join the celebration. Throughout the week, space scientists will be available to answer questions about Sun-Earth connections and STEM careers. On Thursday, April 24, at 2 p.m. EDT, join a special live webinar with Dr. Lisa Upton, a researcher with the Space Systems Research Corporation at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Dr. Upton will discuss the cycle of sunspot activity and the current solar maximum.

This event will focus on space welding and how NASA and its partners are using high energy density welding – not just for space but in space. Hear about the physical processes of welding on the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Learn how NASA, universities, and industry are working together to investigate laser beam welding in reduced gravity, in a vacuum, and at extreme temperatures like those found in space. Following the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn about the presenter’s career journey.

Hear from student artists in their own words, download a virtual goody bag filled with exciting special releases from the interns, and learn how to apply for next year’s internship. | | | Real World: The Air We Share How does Earth's atmosphere impact our daily lives and, in particular, our health?
This video explores activities that impact Earth's atmosphere, and as a result, impact our lives. Plus, learn about NASA TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of POllution), an array of air quality instruments that scan North America's atmosphere, giving us hourly pictures of Earth's air quality. | | | Ask a Subject Matter Expert (SME): Education Specialist In this close-up video with an SME, Erika Wright, an education specialist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, shares how she helps make air and pollution data easier for students and the public to understand and use. Learn about her journey from the science museum world to NASA where she continues to inspire learners to ask and answer their own questions. | | Higher Education Opportunities | | | NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellowships Application Deadline: Tuesday, July 1, at 6 p.m. EDT Contact: npp@orau.org The NASA Postdoctoral Program offers early career and senior scientists fellowships (awarded annually up to three years) with NASA scientists and engineers. Opportunities relate to missions in Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, space bioscience, aeronautics, engineering, human exploration and space operations, astrobiology, and science management. Applicants must have completed a doctorate or an equivalent degree before beginning the fellowship, but they may apply while completing degree requirements.
