Ella Al-Shamahi: The fascinating (and dangerous) places scientists aren't exploring (2019x160)

Data de estreia: Jul 15, 2019

In this fearless, unexpectedly funny talk, paleoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi takes us on an expedition to the Yemeni island of Socotra — one of the most biodiverse places on earth — and makes the case for scientists to explore the unstable regions that could be home to incredible discoveries.
