Lights out

Saturday night join millions of people around the world and "vote" for action on climate change by turning off your lights and other unnecessary electronics from 8:30 to 9:30, or longer if you're really ambitious. 2,800 cities in 83 countries plan to participate in the World Wildlife Fund's Earth Hour 2009.

I went to another hearing on Capitol Hill today, this time about Michigan's "Sixth Amendment crisis." I wish some good news would come out of the state.

Jane Goodall on Capitol Hill

I met primatologist Jane Goodall yesterday on Capitol Hill, where she spoke about her conservation work and how geospatial science plays an important role in forest conservation.

She began her research of chimpanzees decades ago and now spends 300 days a year traveling the world. Her 75th birthday will be April 3.
