Turns out that Mrs PositiveDeviant is going to be famous across the Middle East and North Africa...........................well at least for a few minutes anyway.  Some of you may recall that she took part in a NASA project called Planethunters.org, and as a result found a new exo-planet.  Due to this she has received some interest from journalists and whatnot, there was a documentary made about her and another scientist who found a planet using gravitational microlensing.  Anyway that was a while ago, today a Saudi Arabian journalist for BBC Arabic, Aneesa Al Qudaihi came round our place, along with his cameraman to interview her for a technology show that apparently goes out to 25 million across the Middle East and North Africa, it called '4Tech'.  It's about the technology behind Planethunters.org and the citizen scientist movement.  I'd never heard about '4tech' until recently, but of course it's broadcast in Arabic.  I would imagine it's probably similar to the BBC's western tech show called 'Click'.  I'm sure many of you will have seen that, I sometimes catch it of a Saturday morning.  

I had another engagement today so came home 30 mins too late to be able to meet him, a shame, he was talking with MrsPD about how he covered the Arab Spring, having travelled widely throughout the Middle East, the internal situation in Iran, Iran's relationship to Russia etc.
