Founder Dr. Natasha Stavros wrote an article for The Conversation about bringing tech innovation to wildfires. Dr. Stavros co-led a workshop at the Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) affiliated with California Institute of Technology to bring together tech innovators, fire operators, policy makers, and scientists to discuss how to fire fires smarter.
