Thanks for the introduction and thanks for everyone for being here. My Michael began when I mean formula, we just we've been seeing this all over case. Since I was working as a reporter in Costa Rica. This is something we've noticed and also how difficult is to find scientists in Nicaragua and Mexican Colombia who I don't know before. But then this year when I started working with the postage again, colleagues from all over the world from the Philippines, from Kenya, they were telling us that they're sores in the ground and feeling frustrated because other scientists will live with them over the world that we're not from the Global South. We're taking I mean, a front front position in the media coverage of climate change. Someone who had expertise who lived or was from Europe, discussing typhoons from the Philippines. I will that is great because ISIS is global. It's also a space for local sources, some of the scientists who understand the context. So we've been discussing this they also Jn in different spaces. And then when are you sure reach out through one of our colleagues? Your equipment also imports for the network? We realized this is an opportunity to just make real something we've been discussing more like theoretically the network something we need to have more spaces for sciences on the global south to be part of the conversation how can make this happen? I will reach hundreds of scientists and what does it report is a little the world at once. And the solution came this to be this database and just to give you a sense of who we have here. If you go back to the to the link, you will see that we have right now. 412 scientists and experts from the global south and we actually widen the scope to experts because not all expertise is scientific and all expertise comes from a fairly like scientist or PhD, professor at university. So that's relevant for us just what is the scope of who is an expert? They come from 80 countries and you might see from the map we have a huge number from from India, from Brazil, from Argentina, from Kenya, from South Africa, but also handful from countries in the Global North. And that's because some of our experts have the word nationalities and that's just part of who they are. And also for me is crucial as a Spanish speaker, a native Spanish speaker is we have 51 language is spoken in database. And this is crucial because if you work as a radio or TV reporter in Argentina, or if you work in Bangladesh, and you didn't work in English over there, then you would like someone who speaks your language who also understand your culture better. So if we find a border group from Colombia who speaks Spanish with me, and this is Spanish is widely represented in the sample that will be useful but we also have Swahili or Arabic we have Nepali so for reporters who who want to know the story in English, but also in other languages, this is a resource and it also feels the same way you should filter earlier on to get a sense of how, who's there who speaks Nepali, Arabic, Russian Chinese is there and it's searchable. The other thing is that we have a very verification process. So everyone who joins the forum will actually you'll find it in the end of the database. So at least this page, whoever finds joins this form goes into our big, like internal database and then we go over with through the names we want one of our colleagues from from our handyman admin group and with him, we still get a sense of ease, first of all, go south and go north or the climate science are connected and have expertise and if they have critiqued us, but we need more info than we might ask them. Can you give us more details about your, your affiliation, your webpage, your experience with climate change? And this is a process critical because we want us to be self registered, we think scientists and experts should choose themselves to be here in the first place. And also we shouldn't be the ones who was to select who should be here and who shouldn't be here. But there should be some sort of filter of the expertise and the quality of the people who here so at least one basic like layer of personal meet here and just to give a sense of our work so far, so we've had like 60 people or so who we've decided did not fit the criteria most because they were working not that we're not going to go south and around four years old, but we're still chatting and getting extra information on like their expertise or their website or something along the process.
