“Danielle’s talent and dedication to using Earth observations to advance justice worldwide makes her an inspiration to all of us.” – Lawrence Friedl, Director of NASA’s Earth Applied Sciences Program

As the director of the cutting-edge Space Enabled research group at MIT’s Media Lab, Danielle Wood applies designs enabled by space research to projects that advance social good here on Earth – whether that’s combating environmental degradation or preventing the next famine. Breaking down complex, cosmic technologies, she shows us how entrepreneurial spirit and cross-disciplinary collaboration can be used to bring about a more just and innovative future.
