From Hardware to Geospatial Software
Maxime Lenormand is an aerospace mechanical engineer turned geospatial data scientist, he is also relatively new to the earth observation world.
This is an episode about how Max ended up in Geo and why he decided to move from hardware to software. But it's also about having a sense of wonder about the work we are doing and not being afraid to ask questions and have an opinion.

Geospatial Education As A Service
This episode is not just about how to be better at teaching and helping students learn geospatial skills and concepts, it's also about building and selling online courses. It's about education as a service and how we make the service as assessable as possible.
But more broadly, it's about being better communicators and helping people get to where they are trying to go.
