A Universe of Podcasts: A Summer Listening Guide for Elementary, Middle, and High School Students

New research offers compelling evidence that suggests we should make more use of podcasts, while a podcast search engine makes it easy. Here are three curated lists that dovetail with this year's summer reading theme.

Find out about all things SPACE related: history of, ...tech & space, and more!

For a hilarious, and interesting book about how we figured out how to travel in space, eat in space, and (yes)...POOP in space,  read Mary Roach’s book  “Packing for Mars”

I super love having internet while on the plane because it means that I can post awesome photos like this right after I take it. Reading on the plane gives me life and keeps me from going crazy.

On the plane again, happily reading 'Packing for Mars' by Mary Roach. At least this trip I only have 3 flights in 7 days. A significant improvement over last time... #bookstagram #booklover #reading #bookphotography #book #booknerd #bookaholic #readingonplanes #alissatravels #booklove #bookstagrammer #packingformars #maryroach #booksonplanes

PACKING MADNESS

It’s hard to pack for 3 months in the Antarctic.

Here’s the current version of after, though: 1 checked bag of clothing and sundries; 1 checked bag of art supplies; 1 carry-on of electronics; and 1 “personal item” that’s actually a big backpack full of clothes and stuff to do on the crazy long flights and layovers in Chile.

I don’t leave until December 31, but this is so complicated and hard that I started early.  I’m still going to forget something important.  I can’t get boxes at Palmer Station - only flat mail, and even then only when the icebreaker lands about once a month, maybe. 

Because people have asked me:

I can’t get FedEx.  It’s the Antarctic, so I have to bring what I need or I’m out of luck except for what I can get at the tiny station store and who knows what that will actually end up being.

Amazon does not deliver to Palmer Station. It’s the Antarctic.

I am bringing a swimsuit.  There’s a hot tub.

Planes don’t “fly over and drop s(tuff)” at Palmer.  Everything arrives via the icebreaker.

EXCITING NEWS (for me anyway):

You can send me mail! Make sure it’s just a flat letter, and send it NOWish if you want me to get it down there.  Don’t send food or perishable items. Send it to:

Terri Nelson, Palmer Station c/o Antarctic Support Contract, 7400 S. Tucson Way, Centennial, CO 80112-3938

(It’ll get loaded into a big mail trunk and shipped on the next ice breaker down.)
