It was an absolute pleasure to moderate a powerful session with @Ehsan and @Lucy of @springernature.com on Day 1 of the #WCSJ2025 — diving deep into the art of opinion writing. A strong op-ed should be timely, with good science, and clearly answer why you are the best person to write it. #SciComm

It’s a wrap! We’ve officially completed the #SciCommKe science journalism program, a pilot that paired scientists with journalists to strengthen #ScienceStorytelling. Grateful for the powerful stories that emerged

Africa needs to invest in science communication — here’s how Science journalism is almost non-existent in Africa, even in the countries that are becoming crucial hubs for research. This gap must be addressed to help protect Africans from misinformation.

Excited to share my latest article published by @springernature.com where I argue for why Africa needs to invest in science communication. This beautiful piece is a result of work supported by @schmidtsciences.bsky.social and @ucscscicomm.bsky.social
