Brad grew up in small town Illinois, playing outside all summer, building go-karts and tree houses in the woods. He went to the University of Illinois to study engineering and Carnegie Mellon for robotics. Later, he shrunk his focus: he began building tiny robots the size of a grain of sand. Now, Brad Nelson, PhD, is a Professor of Robotics and Intelligent Systems at ETH Zurich. He just published research in which he and his team navigated tiny robots to a precise spot in a large animal...

Scott MacIvor wants people to enjoy green spaces in cities (he's an urban ecologist)
When he was a child in Kitchener, Ontario, Scott MacIvor would go on urban walks with his mom. He had a bucket, and was allowed to bring home one piece of nature each day: a snake, or a bumblebee, a caterpillar. He loved examining them all. Now Scott is an urban ecologist at the University of Toronto, working to connect people with the nature that's hidden all over the places where humans live, especially cities. He uses drones, thermal imaging, and other cutting edge technologies to study ur...
