We’re going to air out our frustrations with the planet 🤬 , with pollution, with food shortage, anything that we don’t understand about the state of our planet right now. 👩🔬 And then in a few months, researchers from Switzerland, India, Uganda and other countries are working on answering those as an illustrated book.
