@AnneMuigai_Prof @DAISEA_AfricaBP

Join us on Monday 5th- Tuesday 6th August 2024 for the African BioGenome Project Open Institute East and Central Africa Regional Workshops 2024. The hybrid workshop, with physical participation at SAJOREC, JKUAT, will explore sustainable pathways for biodiversity conservation and Bio-economy integration in Eastern and Central Africa. For online participation, register to attend virtually: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist… ^DP

We are looking forward to the talk by Catherine Mungai of @IUCN during the 2nd East and Central @DAISEA_AfricaBP regional workshop which will be held @DiscoverJKUAT

During the 2nd East and Central @DAISEA_AfricaBP workshop we shall host a panel with early-career scientists with great panelists Teresia Mungai, Ms Hawi Adede and Josiah Kuja

Delighted to introduce our workshop sponsor and partner @abiosystems African Biosystems Ltd who will exhibit and conduct a practical between 7-9th August at the EA, CA @DAISEA_AfricaBP regional workshop!

Really excited to share our work on using digital data to explore the niches of CWRs and their utility for building climate ready crops! Be sure to check out the iDigBio booth to learn more about using and creating digital data! @soltislab @iDigBio #IBC2024

This needs a proper celebration!

@AnneMuigai_Prof @NatureGenet @DAISEA_AfricaBP @ThankGod_Ebenez @NDUKenya Congrats Prof.

I am extremely delighted to share our latest publication in @NatureGenet with over 100 African authors! This paper outlines how we trained 408 African scientists in Genomics and Bioinformatics through 28 regional workshops in 2023 @DAISEA_AfricaBP @ThankGod_Ebenez @NDUKenya

Today, our paper with over 100 African authors showing how we trained 408 African scientists in genomics & bioinformatics through 28 regional workshops in 2023, is now published in @NatureGenet: nature.com/articles/s4158… or rdcu.be/dM5r4 & africanbiogenome.org/2024/07/08/est…
