Bridging the Southern gap: why Ocean sciences need a fairer future
Although most of the ocean lies in the Southern Hemisphere, it remains underrepresented in microbiome research. In Ocean Microbiology, 85 researchers call to end parachute science and promote fair, collaborative partnerships with equal participation from low- and middle-income countries.
