Happy to share our new research article in @PaN_BES with @ogaoue! We explain how indigenous people select medicinal plants in West-Africa and suggest new methodological guidance in testing the theory of non- random medicinal plants selection. https://t.co/aDLDkz10VO
Congratulations Lou. Thank you for guidance and support over the years! This is often missed but Lou’s mentoring ability and practical support for diversity and inclusion are to be celebrated.

It is wonderful to see such a recognition of the role and value of international research. We need more of this particularly in part of the world where we tend not to include in our research endeavors. Special funding might be necessary for this. Thank you VP @Gretchen_n!

@smitholiviam This is confirming what lot of scientists in Africa I know have been suspecting for a long time. What is even more interesting is the large variance found in the #globalsouth.
Manuscripts were also less likely to be accepted if authors' institutional affiliations were in Africa, Asia, and Latin America compared to authors from North America, Europe, and Oceania
