Posted on December 7, 2017December 7, 2017 By David Shiffman

Join a team of conservation biologists and wildlife experts for a live science communication event!  We are going watch the award-winning BBC documentary series Planet Earth 2 together, tweeting expert commentary and reactions throughout using #PlanetEarthChat. Anyone is free to join in the discussion, and is free to ask questions of our expert team.

We’ll be starting our episodes all at exactly the same time, so anyone who wants to participate can be sure to be synched with us. I’ll make a Storify of all the tweets transcript at the end.

How to watch: It’s on Netflix streaming in Canada. It does not appear to be on Netflix streaming in the US, so if you want to watch it there you may need the DVDs.

Here’s the schedule. All times are in PST.

Sunday, December 10th:
5:00 P.M. Episode 1, islands.
6:00 P.M. Episode 2, mountains
7:00 P.M. Episode 3, jungles

Sunday, December 17th:
5:00 P.M. Episode 4, deserts
6:00 P.M. Episode 5, grasslands
7:00 P.M. Episode 6, cities
