Hey educators & explorers 👋
We’re Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants - and we connect your classroom (or research!) with the world
Since 2015, we’ve run 4,500+ free, live virtual events with scientists, conservationists, adventurers & more 🌍
It’s free. It’s live. It’s awesome.

Look who took a few steps inside, made eye contact, looked around and calmly left
To celebrate #EarthDay2026 we are highlighting Irish people who contributed to our understanding of the natural world, starting with Ellen Hutchins. She was Ireland’s first female botanist & an expert on mosses, bryophytes and lichens, several of which are named for her. www.dib.ie/biography/hu...

Pale gray World Health Network graphic with the whn.global logo at the top. Large pink and black text reads: “COVID-19 never ‘ended’.” In the center is a simple white mask icon with pink ear loops. Below, large black text reads: “You should still be wearing a mask.” At the bottom it says: “World Health Network” and “Science for a safer, healthier world.”
COVID-19 is still spreading. Respirator masks are still one of the simplest ways to reduce risk, for you and the people around you.

Why?
Artificial wetlands can treat wastewater using natural processes like plants, soil and water flow.
In Costa Rica, a constructed wetland is helping keep polluted water out of rivers and sea.
Backed by UNEP & @thegef.bsky.social, it shows how nature-based solutions can #BeatPollution: bit.ly/4qcZf6C
