HAPPY EARTH DAY! 🌎 What better way to celebrate Earth Day than with none other than National Geographic Explorer 🤿, Gabrielle Corradino—who lives right here in Washington DC. Ecologist Gabrielle has received funding from the National Geographic Society for her important work studying plankton in the Anacostia River including phytoplankton that produce more than 50% of our oxygen in our atmosphere. So, the next time you take a deep breath—thank plankton! 🙏 Gabrielle is also a former 5th grade science teacher and joined one of Nat Geo’s recent Virtual Field Trips and showed D.C. kids how to capture and study plankton in their own backyards using just a mason jar and coffee ☕ filter. #earthday #plankton #natgeo #educational #education www.thedistrictchannel.com
