Doing lab work in foreign countries is always an interesting experience and getting this one in Bahir Dar University set up to analyze hundreds of soil samples didn’t disappoint.
The process of getting permissions to work in the sacred forests in Ethiopia was bewildering but also personal, human, and real…also, it worked!
Here are some of the B-sides from my work on a story about the sacred forests in Ethiopia, from the “Blue” Nile, to unexpected adventures in paperwork and lab work, to a reminder to myself that science stories are usually more about the people and the places than the science.
My first attempt at ‘Adventure Science’ wasn’t exactly smooth but it got me started and taught me a lot. And I’ve never forgotten to put a battery in my camera since.
I joined a research team in Runaway Creek Nature Reserve in Belize as they embarked on a new project to trap and put radio collars on tapirs…
I was thrilled that the Science B-Sides was nominated for a People’s Choice Award in 2019 by the Science Writer’s and Communicators of Canada and Science Borealis - thank you!
Science adventures aren’t always about the science.
