Abstract:
What comes to mind when you think of climate change? Perhaps it’s melting ice shelves and droughts or raging wildfires and floods. To see the large-scale manifestations of a warming planet, we need not look far.
On a microscopic level, however, climate change paints a very different picture. For Dr Hannah Karuri, a nematologist and senior lecturer at Kenya’s University of Embu, the most harmful impacts of climate change are those that we cannot see nor feel – the invisible worms.
