🇨🇦 Michael Porter 🇨🇦<p>Mastodon! I'm delivering a talk to a couple of grade 9 classes in a month on the use of space (mainly satellites, but probes to other planets, comets, etc., will be included).</p><p>How does your work benefit from satellites? </p><p>I'm thinking of a direct use of the data, as opposed to stuff like “internet access” or “my bank relies on satellites to transfer my grant money from one account to another” 😄</p><p>Anecdotes, rants, personal stories are all fair game 😊<br>(To the inevitable suggestion that I just Google this, yes, I can, and have, but I want the human element - I want to be able to say "someone I ‘know’ uses satellites for their job, and this is what they like about the tech”)</p><p>Hashtag suggestions are welcome. <br>(Also - question: Does Mastodon discriminate hashtags with different capitalization? Are <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Astronomy</span></a> and <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>astronomy</span></a> functionally different? We *really* need some kind of ISO standard 😉) </p><p><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Archaeology</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Physics</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/SolarActivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarActivity</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Geology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Geology</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/SevereWeather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SevereWeather</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Climate</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <br><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Satellite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Satellite</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Satellites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Satellites</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/oceanography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oceanography</span></a></p>
