How urban bee survival inspired a network of vending machine museums
In short: Ecologist Amanda Schochet spent years studying how bees navigate fragmented urban landscapes. Now, she is using those same principles of connectivity to bring science to the public through portable, miniature museums.
The video explores the creation of MICRO, a network of portable science museums designed to be the size of vending machines. Inspired by the way bees survive in cities by navigating small patches of land, Schochet's project aims to increase scientific accessibility by deploying these units in community hubs, libraries, and transit centers.
