In ancient china, soothsayers would dissect animal entrails to read its patterns, prophesying the future. Dissecting nature and foretelling the future may still go hand in hand even today. Intan is an oracle of sort. Intan took pages of our ancient past from corals across Indonesia then turned it into a readable pattern and use it to foretell our future. The difference form ancients soothsayer is--of course, its scientific methods. Dr. Intan Suci Nurhati is one third climate scientist, one third oceanographer and one third deep sea diver.
