Skype a Scientist (@skypeascientist.bsky.social) has been one of the best things for Bird Nerds.
I don't know how else I would be able to connect the kids with scientists involved with birds with such ease. I'm so grateful for the scientists that participate!

If you’re an archaeologist and have never done Skype A Scientist, I urge you to give it a try. It’s a lot of fun!
Here I am. Once again. I'm out of archaeologists.
We matched 576 groups w/archaeologists, leaving 13 groups unmatched. This brings me pain! We've never run out of scientists like this before. 598 requests for one category is A LOT. But still.
