I presented my poster on detecting pine vitality loss from space yesterday on #womeninscienceday!
A shoutout to all the amazing science women at the #BIOSPACE25!
Many more interesting talks and poster presentations to follow in the coming days...

This morning we defended the GEO.INFORMED project in front of a jury for the #flagis Geospatial Awards...
In this project, we used satellite data and AI to generate geo-data for environmental policy #SciPol #SciCom #environment #geoAI
Fingers crossed that our project gets selected 🤞🗺️🎖️🧪

Vandaag heb ik bijgedragen aan de dag van de Wetenschap op Campus Gasthuisberg in Leuven! Een collega onderzoekt het effect van je onderdompelen in (virtuele) natuur op je mentale gezondheid en je gemoedstoestand 🌱💦🥸
En ik mocht de deelnemers interviewen over hoe ze het experiment ervaren hadden.
