2021 Reach & Teach Science in Africa scientific capacity building program held in 3 African nations
Recently, we commissioned some of our exceptionally gifted alumni and researchers in African research institutions to co-organise and facilitate the 2021 Reach & Teach Science in Africa plant molecular bio-laboratory training workshop organised in partnership with the Centre for Dryland Agriculture at Bayero University Kano, (Nigeria), Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (Kenya) and the CSIR-Crops Research Institute in Kumasi (Ghana). The workshops involved 80+ participants, facilitators and research support staff all from Africa.
Partnership with the Quantitative Biology Journal (co-owned by Cambridge University Press and John Innes Centre)
We are excited to partner with the Production and Editorial staff of Quantitative Plant Biology (co-owned by Cambridge University Press and John Innes Centre) to co-host a scientific writing and publishing skills webinar to guide African bioscience researchers through the publishing process. We believe that this world-class webinar delivered by top world experts from the highly international reputable publisher and journal will ensure that manuscripts from African researchers have the best impact and outreach.
