Thanks for hosting me @MaxLenormand! Easily one of the most fun podcasts I’ve ever done. 🚀
Hyperspectral images can see 100s of bands instead of 3-4 of optical sats I talked with @awaisahmedna about engineering & funding, but that's only the beginning: Awais has a big, big vision for @PixxelSpace It gets pretty wild, and sci-fi Watch here: youtu.be/D4C-FHNTYrw

I loved the episode on the @MindsBehindMaps podcast where they talked about hunger. My best quote from the episode was hunger is political.

🎙️ Our Director Jamie McMichael-Phillips recently joined this phenomenal @MindsBehindMaps #podcast to discuss the #Seabed2030 project and the importance of #ocean mapping. Out now: youtube.com/watch?v=rRi0UY2z…
As of June 2024, we've only mapped 26.1% of all our oceans @seabed2030 is trying to bring that to 100% by 2030 How comes we only have 1/4th the oceans mapped? How do you map it? Why does it even matter? My full interview with the project's Director: youtu.be/rRi0UY2zTlQ
