explain their science # SciTalk22 # LatinxInSTEM @ AnaMaPorras :
Solutions? expanding access with translation, expand science to
more languages (i.e. Espa--ol, Portugues, indigenous languages,
etc.). Avoid direct translations but instead do it from a cultural
perspectives. # SciTalk22 # LatinxInSTEM @ AnaMaPorras : Our region
