International Polar Year

International Polar Year is on the way, starting March 1st. This is leading to a great deal of science and outreach. Hopefully we will be hearing of this in the news throughout the year. For an overview of some of the projects being carried out, check out this report.

"It's official: The International Polar Year 2007-2008 officially launches at 10.00 UTC March 1 2007, with an international press conference at the Palais de la Découverte -- a famous science museum in central Paris. More than a dozen countries are also planning national launch events on or around March 1 and an international IPY group is working hard to stimulate activities in schools and science centres around the world."

Also, i have added the RSS feed to the side of my blog, it will remain for the whole year so you can check out the latest news.
