#ParachuteScience and the exclusion of #GlobalSouth by #GlobalNorth.

Ironically "...previous analyses of scientific authorship in the Global South were predominantly conducted by authors based in the Global North..."

"African authors were significantly underrepresented in large, multicountry studies, accounting for only 6% of primary authors and 66% of these publications contained no African author."

Thanks for sharing that. It certainly exposes a grim reality that is widespread in Africa.

On January 20, 2022, UNESCO and 1 OCEAN announced the “discovery” of a pristine coral reef off Tahiti. The story quickly went viral and the world rejoiced.

But Tahitians took issue with the word “discovery” as the reef was already known to locals.

Today's class on #voluntourism and #ParachuteScience was really interesting and productive. I'm so sad my Corals Conservation and Colonialism class is basically over.

In episode 51 of STEAM Powered, I speak with Dr Jessica McCarty, Scientist & Associate Professor of All Things Satellites, Wildfires & Agriculture.

Join us as we talk about the #multidisciplinary nature of #geography, #fire, #agriculture, and the #TwoBodyProblem (amongst a whole host of other things).
