Webcast! (attempt)

This morning we tried to do a webcast from the research station in the PR rainforest to the Kiwi Team at Curtis Middle School in Sudbury, MA. It is a pretty amazing idea... and it worked for the most part. There were some difficulties with knowing if/how/when the students could hear me, but overall, I think it went well.

Here I am doing the webcast from an outside table. It stopped raining long enough for us to do it, but we kept getting disconnected... this is life when relying on satellites.

Matt, What are the books that are holding up your phone? Great picture of technology intersecting with the jungle. I was able to play the video of the anolis lizard. Looks like the frog survey episode was very popular.
