(1/2) Butterfly - what’s in a name? 🦋
The butterfly is a symbol of pollinators. Delicate and vulnerable, it is a beauty icon. It also symbolises the Butterfly Effect.

🐝✨ What bumblebees can teach us about resilient flight?
Bumblebees can lose up to 40% of a wing and still stay airborne. Most tiny flying robots, on the other hand, fail after the slightest tear. Inspired by this natural resilience, MIT engineers set out to redesign micro-aerial robots.

Here's a sneak preview of the latest Pollinator Project! It's going to be something special. Welcome ProPollSoil on board!
The #ProPollSoil project has officially got underway, coming together to explore two big questions: How does the health of our soils shape the fate of #pollinators? And how do pollinators influence #soil health?

Every day, the world savours more than 2 billion cups of coffee. Yet this daily ritual relies on a hidden workforce: pollinators. Bees, butterflies and countless others ensure that coffee blossoms fulfil their potential.
