Surprisingly few studies have examined the similarities between the two.
Molly Haugen becomes first female licensed drone pilot at Cambridge Univ.
Molly Haugen passed her drone (UAV) training and becomes the first female licensed pilot at Cambridge University. She will be using this work to measure air quality and shipping emissions in association with the Boies and Mastorakos groups for a project funded by the Cambridge-Singapore project, CARES . Way to go Molly!
