SCIFODE

Thank you @BDI_UNT for inviting me to share with you the @ScienceAlly story on Friday. It was great to engage with grad students, staff and faculty!

I advised science journalists today not to look for quick fixes such as social media in reporting science as I opened the @scifode @ubbc Science Media BioCafe Webnair @AgBioWorld

We had a very lively discussion this morning on #GMO cassava in #Kenya. In case you missed it, we've still got you! You can still follow the discussions here: shorturl.at/diBH0 #ThinkCassava

Climate-proofing crops, pest & disease resistance, reducing food waste, and eight other benefits of #geneediting. innovature.com/article/our-fa…

Join the Discussion. Lets talk about Genetically modified Cassava #ThinkCassava

Welcome Kayoola buses to Kampala streets. Uganda’s industrialization is taking leaps and bounds. @MoSTI_Ug’s performance is fundamental to the sector’s progress.

What is the @CassavaPlus project all about? Why are the researchers focusing on #Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD)? Why did they use modern #biotechnology tools? In this video, Dr. @andrewkiggundu explains it all in less than 2 minutes: bit.ly/2XkEMAH #ThinkCassava

We must innovate strategies to link solutions in global health to those in maternal and infant feeding and nutrition #GrandChallenges @gatesfoundation

"I’m especially excited about CRISPR,a gene-editing method that holds the potential to spark a new Green Revolution"-Award winning Nigerian farmer @KokuOnyi (in the middle with our Zimbabwean and Zambian Fellows) @GlobalFarmerNet #scienceally #MyAfSjourney globalfarmernetwork.org/2019/10/let-th…

Remembering my own #AfSjourney during the executive week. Executive week has begun, best of luck to #AFS2019GlobalFellows. Just breathe😉& treat people in front of you as your partner for the change you want to happen😊@taikee @albertcaraan @ayiegarcia @GermaineJDeRuna

“As long as our mentality remains to produce – and others export – others roast; we are in circles for a long time. Let’s crush and disrupt this circle and begin again.” What is the place of Uganda’s farmer in the value chain thedailybreadnews.com/what-is-the-pl… @Rwakakamba 👌🏻

We must rethink food systems to account for growing challenges. +SocialGood Advisor @Ruthaine spoke to @TwineJonan about some of the solutions coming to the forefront in Uganda: trib.al/hUispEB

The potential of biotech application is emphasized by @TwineJonan as he spoke to @plus_socialgood advisor @Ruthaine 👏🏽👏🏽 @ScienceAlly @GeneticLiteracy

The ⁦@ScienceAlly⁩ #AfSfellows are hosting #cassava & #banana scientist, ⁦@andrewkiggundu⁩ from ⁦@DanforthCenter⁩ this week ⁦@Cornell⁩ & on Cayuga Lake.

So proud to be celebrating this week 5 years of our global alliance with committed @scienceally partners like @OFABnigeria @OfabAfrica @isaaa_org @PublicResearch @FoodAgLiteracy @aatfafrica @Golden_Rice @FarmingFutureBD @narouganda @gatesfoundation & so many more! Thank you!
