Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5

The elephant-human relationship in Thailand goes back thousands of years. As human populations increase this relationship understandably gets more complicated.
