Science diplomacy? --- Can we call this science diplomacy? In this example, it is clear that it is the health program managers and scientists who initiated and led the collaboration between the two countries to find solutions. We do not see the role played by diplomats in facilitating this collaboration between French Guyana and Brazil and in the negotiations that took place during this collaboration. It is also not clear whether this collaboration between the scientists of the 2 countries contributed to improving their relations. I think this kind of collaboration is common between scientists to find solutions to common problems.
