My great-grand aunt (99 years old) always asked me ‘What are you exactly doing at work? Do you know which types of trees are more suitable for this dry weather that we have nowadays?’ And I have been always struggling with explaining what my job and research is about.
Ironically enough, that’s the reason why I started this blog – to put science another way that everyone can understand and learn from it.
[By the way, I am a researcher working in the field of disaster risk reduction – start reading this blog to find out what that means!]
