TED Talks: Life Science in Prison and Conserving the Canopy by Nalini Nadkarni
Geschreven op 14-7-2010 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Gezondheid
Nalini Nadkarni challenges our perspective on trees and prisons — she says both can be more dynamic than we think. Through a partnership with the state of Washington, she brings science classes and conservation programs to inmates, with unexpected results.
Trees are wonderful arenas for discovery because of their tall stature, their complex structure, the biodiversity they foster and their quiet beauty. I used to climb trees for fun all the time and now, as a grown-up, I have made my profession understanding trees and forests, through the medium of science.
