Sometimes, small things make a huge impact. After studying how bees in urban environments can survive by navigating small land patches, ecologist Amanda Schochet was inspired to build MICRO, a network of portable science museums the size of vending machines. Learn how these tiny museums are being deployed in libraries, community centers, transit hubs and elsewhere to increase public access to science.

Last time I was this early, bees weren’t even dreaming of inspiring a network of tiny museums
Thanks TED
awesome video keep it up dude
Inspiring talk by Ms. Schochet and it really underscores the fact that small changes/contributions add up. Massive change in the world really does start with one person…
Thanks TED. Always love and support the videos <333333
This speaker is so genuine and her knowledge so solid – thank you, Ted Talks, for giving her a platform to share with us from. Her message is vital yet uplifting and hopeful.
What a great speech! I was actually captivated and I hope this goes viral! We all need to do our part to help our world keep its flora and fauna flourishing!
Thank you for this in light of everything that is happening, pandemically 🙂
Micromanaging museums into in-between spaces is a great idea.
abeismain I hope you’re joking.
thats what you call passion
What you are doing is amazing! It’s the little things that matter the most 🙂
This talk started great, but then the talk went from bumblebees, NASA imagery and ecosystems to… museums……
honestly, I’d rather help the bees, they shouldn’t have to rely on habitat fragments.
