Today's storyteller is Dr Karen Joyce! Karen is a geospatial scientist, and today we talk all about drones, remote sensing, geography, and everything in between! Karen wears a lot of hats - she's a lecturer at James Cook University in Australia, she's the cofounder and education director of She Maps (which we'll talk about), and she also runs the drone data repository GeoNadir (which we didn't even get to in this conversation!). She Maps is really brilliant and aiming at diversifying STEM using drones and geospatial tools through programs in schools. Karen tells the story of how it came to be in this episode so I won't give it away but it's such a cool program. Enjoy!
