Growing up excited for every visit to her grandparents’ farm where she could sit amongst the trees eating tropical fruits, Dr. Lucette Adet has always been fascinated by plants. Currently undertaking research in the Congo Basin in Cameroon, Lucette aims to understand how different tree species respond to their environment, in the context of changes in climate and land-use.
Join Dr Kate Johnson and hear Lucette’s exceptional story-telling as we journey through the ‘magic place’ of the tropical forest with ‘the wind flowing and the monkey’s jumping’, experiencing it as a place of research and wonder that requires our attention and protection.
