📄Important article in the @theguardian.com about the #CongoBasin and its importance for global carbon sinks including scientific voices from @simonlewis.bsky.social and scientists from @congobasinscience.bsky.social 👉 Read the full article here: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The rainforest the world forgot: the Congo basin is the second largest on Earth, so why is it being neglected?
It is one of the world’s most vital carbon sinks, but this tropical rainforest is losing out when it comes to climate policy and funding

Have you ever wondered whether language could play a role in ensuring the accuracy, inclusivity, & accessibility of scientific research? En tant que chercheuse plurilingue ayant l'anglais comme troisième langue, cette question a toujours été au coeur de mon travail et de ma progression de carrière.
