Canopy Biologist Studies Movement from Treetops to Prisons

Nalini Nadkarni has been called “the queen of canopy research,” in part because of her personal philosophy to bring together two groups – the trees and the general public. She does this by collaborating with dancers, rappers, artists, and prisoners, just to name only a few. She created the Big Canopy Database to help researchers around the world to store the rich trove of data she and others are uncovering.
