I believe everything we dream
Can come to pass through our union
We can turn the world around
We can turn the earth’s revolution
We have the power
People have the power

    I am a multidisciplinary environmental researcher with a special care for bridging diverse knowledge systems while respecting their differences. I feel moved by questions around the ‘how(s)’ of living together on a damaged planet. I think sciences have a partial yet fundamental role to play in this time of rapid changes: transforming themselves to transform the worlds they make.
