They'll be talking about a partnership between private industry and the federal government, a partnership which addresses the infestation of a disease which seriously affects the $10 billion/year California wine industry. Learn how NASA's satellites and low-flying aircraft combine with specialized sensors to discover the roots of this problem. In the second half, Moira interviews Cliff Brooks, Product Manager for Microsoft's new mouse.
