Scott Miller shows us how to find Mars and constellations in the night sky this month. Then, there is another panel discussion about the important environmental bills being discussed in the Kentucky House and Senate this year. And how can scientists have an impact? This is a discussion with lobbyists/advocates Tom FitzGerald of the Kentucky Resources Council, and Lane Boldman and Randy Strobo of the Kentucky Conservation Committee.

This interview was conducted by Trent Garrison (President of the Kentucky Academy of Science) and Kaylynne Glover (President of the Kentuckians for Science Education) on March 3, 2021. The full-length video can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr7ceALH1jw&t=351s
