Happy New Year! Let's dive into the latest updates and highlights from NuVu Innovation School and make 2024 a year of creativity, collaboration, and continuous learning!
Exploring Ecological Intelligence
We hit the trails with a recent visit to the Fisher Museum at the Harvard Forest as students explored Ecological Intelligence and the use of technology to monitor wildlife and ecosystems remotely. The 4,000-acre Harvard Forest serves as a vibrant hub for researchers and NuVu students. It was a chance to witness data collection and its various research applications. The hosts unveiled the forest's ecological study practices, prompting discussions on their ethical implications. We raised questions such as whether humans should have the agency to cut down trees for research purposes. And what if the trees decided to run an experiment on how much oxygen each human gets?
