Kelly Kulhanek, Ph.D. student & Nathalie Steinhauer, Postdoc, work with NASA to look at pollinator health from space!  NASA uses satellite data to reveal the environmental factors that affect honeybee populations.  "This large-scale satellite data that NASA developed is really going to enable us to make large-scale correlations about the factors we’re seeing in honeybees and the physical interactions they are having with their landscape." , said  Kulhanek. NASA summarizes the project:
