Science Behind the Glass: illuminating the human side
Science

From the depths of Nigeria’s forests to the frontlines of conservation, Rachel Ashegbofe Ikemeh is a force of nature. As the founder of the Southwest and Niger Delta Forest Project, she has dedicated her life to protecting endangered species—like the critically endangered Niger Delta red colobus monkey—while empowering local communities to become stewards of their environment.

Rachel’s work has earned her global recognition, including the Whitley Award ("Green Oscar") and the National Geographic Buffett Award for Conservation Leadership in Africa. But beyond the accolades, her story is one of resilience, passion, and the fight to preserve what’s left of our planet’s biodiversity.

¿Quiénes son realmente las personas que hacen posible la ciencia? Science Behind the Glass: illuminating the human side es un espacio sonoro bilingüe (español e inglés) dedicado a iluminar esas historias que suelen quedar en la sombra. Aquí no solo hablamos de descubrimientos, sino de las vidas detrás de ellos: ingenieras resolviendo problemas en terreno, analistas de datos descifrando patrones invisibles, líderes comunitarias aplicando conocimiento ancestral o técnicos de laboratorio cuyo minucioso trabajo es fundamental. Cada episodio de este podcast te lleva a través de conversaciones íntimas y narrativas profundas, recogiendo testimonios desde diversos rincones del mundo. Escucharás sobre las motivaciones personales, los obstáculos superados y los momentos de duda y triunfo que rara vez llegan a los titulares, pero que constituyen el verdadero motor de la investigación. Es una invitación a conocer la textura humana del quehacer científico, aquella que ocurre tras el cristal de las vitrinas académicas y los artículos especializados. Acompáñanos a descubrir las voces, a menudo calladas, cuyo esfuerzo colectivo da forma a nuestro entendimiento del mundo.
