What does it mean to be a scientist in Seychelles? In this clip, Vic speaks about the reality of holding knowledge, experience, and perspective, and not feeling able to share it openly. She reflects on how difficult it is to imagine spending years building expertise, only to feel that your voice cannot be fully expressed without consequence. It’s something we’ve heard consistently, through many of our conversations, often shared in confidence. Not everyone feels free to speak. And that raises an important question. What kind of space are we creating for truth, for expertise, and for honest dialogue in Seychelles? Who decides the future of our country?
