‘Mind-boggling’ palm that flowers and fruits underground thrills scientists
(www.theguardian.com)
A place where any news of** tech & science** development of Malaysia resides
This is so interesting. They've been around for ages, but scientists have only learned of them now.. The best way to document every single organism is to encourage citizen scientists. iNaturalist is a useful app/website for this purpose.
Encourage citizen scientists... And also talk to locals and encourage knowledge-sharing. Much of the field is changing positively in this regard but no doubt old-school attitude esp in the harder sciences was very dismissive and patronizing of local experience. So yeah, this is encouraging.
