#ScienceatRisk stories from Ukraine 🇺🇦 War doesn’t only destroy cities, it silences labs & scatters brilliant minds. @TouchSciAfrica x @ScienceAtRisk spotlight scientists defying war: Kateryna Shavanova Hanna Kuzio Ilona Svejentseva #ScienceForPeace #ScienceThatTouchesUs

Happening TODAY at 2:30PM WAT! Join us on Conservation Focus as we mark #InternationalDayOfForests with @WildAfricaOrg. Let’s talk forests, sustainability & why they matter to YOU. Don’t miss it! #RadioIITA #ClimateAction

Weather shapes our world more than we realize, from food systems to climate resilience. This #WorldMeteorologicalDay, Touchscience Africa celebrates the science behind forecasting, early warnings, and climate action. Let’s bridge science & society for a safer, sustainable future.

Forests are more than tree, they are life support systems for people, wildlife, and our planet. This #InternationalDayOfForests, let’s protect, restore, and sustainably manage our forests for future generations. Today, we amplify science for impact because every tree counts.

Ukraine’s fertility rate has dropped to 0.9, one of the lowest ever recorded. Deaths now outpace births 3:1 & millions are displaced. The solution is rebuilding stability, opportunity, and hope. What can Africa learn? @ScienceAtRisk Read more:shorturl.at/Gq8Cn

Our December Conservation Camp was a remarkable learning experience, thanks to the dedication of our forest rangers. Their guidance during forest walks and discussions made the experience unforgettable. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=ynaGV6…

Today, we mark World Wildlife Day Africa’s #biodiversity is both a priceless scientific asset and a shared responsibility. Through TouchScience Africa, we amplify stories that showcase how research drives conservation and informs action.#WorldWildlifeDay #ScienceCommunication

When we ferment ogi, garri, or iru, we’re using beneficial microbes like Lactobacillus to: ✔ Improve gut health ✔ Increase nutrient absorption ✔ Naturally preserve food African kitchens have always been laboratories. #TouchScienceAfrica #FoodScience #STEMinAfrica

Pangolins are the most trafficked mammals in the world, and they need us now more than ever. This #WorldPangolinDay, join global voices to spotlight the theme: Pangolin Guardians in Action. Science, awareness, and community action can help save them. #Conservation

On World Radio Day, we celebrate radio as a powerful tool for science communication. 📻🔬 Radio makes science accessible, understandable, and relevant to everyday lives. We use radio to connect science with communities. #WorldRadioDay #ScienceCommunication #TouchScienceAfrica

The gender gap in science won’t close by chance. It closes by design. This #IDWGIS2026, girls stepped inside real research spaces from crop labs to bioscience centers, asking bold questions and imagining bigger futures. Read more: shorturl.at/wuOmE

On this International Day of Women & Girls in Science, we celebrate the power of girls in AI, STEM, social science & innovation to build inclusive futures. When girls lead in science, Africa rises. #WomenInScience #GirlsInSTEM #IDWGIS2026 #TouchScienceAfrica

What happens when children learn science inside a forest instead of a classroom? Omo Forest gave us an answer, and we documented it. What do you think environmental education should look like? See the comment for highlights of our experience 👇

Pulses are powerful, nourishing for people, enriching soils, and supporting climate-smart agriculture. We celebrate the science behind these tiny seeds with global impact. #ScienceThatTouchesUs #FoodSecurity #SustainableFood

Science is behind everything from clean water to safer medicines. What’s one science fact that surprised you this week? #ScienceThatTouchesUs #Scicomm #ScienceInLife

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay! Wetlands are disappearing fast. Let’s act now to protect them. Watch this powerful documentary for inspiration: 👉 youtu.be/L7m0OI8DeJk #Wetlands2026 #TouchScienceAfrica #ClimateAction

Children tracked elephant footprints. They slept in tents. They learned science without classrooms. The Science Outdoors Documentary is now LIVE. This is conservation education done right. Watch here: youtu.be/NTHzu6VFOLI?si… This is conservation education done right.
