Amazing blog by @sonakshis.bsky.social about what Interdisciplinary Conservation looks like. Her words eloquently captures what the 2025 ICN workshop felt like. I am thrilled to be working with Sonakshi as we develop our outputs from this collaboration!
Great blog to start the week: reflections from @sonakshis.bsky.social on the 2025 Interdisciplinary Conservation Network.
"The highlight of ICN for me was the people. Their presence reminded me of what interdisciplinarity truly looks like and what it takes to build it."

There is growing evidence that termites have a substantial, but still poorly understood, role in the carbon cycle.

Another good example of why we need African solutions by African scientists..
Better data sets won’t solve the problem — we need AI for Africa to be developed in Africa
Language models developed by big technology companies consistently underperform in African languages. It’s time to focus on local solutions.

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.
