NIA'S VISITOR PROGRAM SUCCESSFULLY FOSTERS COLLABORATION BETWEEN NIA STAFF, NASA LANGLEY RESEARCHERS, AND SCHOLARS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE TO FURTHER RESEARCH TOPICS OF MUTUAL INTEREST.
PUBLIC OUTREACH PROGRAMNIA CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN PUBLIC OUTREACH PROGRAMS THAT BOTH EDUCATE AND STIMULATE INTEREST IN NASA IN THE GENERAL POPULATION. NASA 360 CONTINUES TO BE AN EXEMPLAR IN THIS AREA. SIXTY-TWO NEW EPISODES WERE CREATED IN FY19, NOT INCLUDING THE FACES OF TECHNOLOGY OR SPECIFIC NASA SCIENCE LIVE VIDEOS; AND THE SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE AND SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRAM CONTINUES TO GROW, WITH OVER 5.4 MILLION FACEBOOK FRIENDS, REACHING OVER 130 MILLION PEOPLE. IN FY19, NIA PRODUCED 245 INNOVATION NOW SEGMENTS BRINGING THE LIFETIME TOTAL TO 2,088 SEGMENTS TO-DATE.
