Ina Lillah Wa Inna Illahi Rajioun. Losing a loved one is not easy , losing a dear spouse is even more difficult. Alhamdulilah. I wish to thank everyone who came to condole with us upon the death of my wife Sureya Ali Roble . Thanks to all the doctors and nursing staff who assisted marhuma during her illness both at Pandya & Aga Khan hospital. To all her friends and associates who sent us condolences messages we appreciate. I have lost my best friend , a loving caring wife and mother to our childrem. I have also lost my confidant . May Allah Grant Marhuma Janatul Firdoush. كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ – Kullu nafsin zaikatul maut. “Every soul shall taste Death” Alhamdulilah

It was so lovely to meet you @ejngee and other WBR friends, and to celebrate the impact of Buffalo Bicycles @PowerOfBicycles!

@JMARIARA @PEPnetwork Congratulations @JMARIARA !

It is amazing how time flies! I guess this is only possible when working with fantastic people and stakeholders! @PEPnetwork family is a real gem!

New preprint! We have assigned adenosylcobalamin (a biologically active form of vitamin B₁₂) as the ligand of a previously orphan riboswitch that controls expression of the rpfB-ksgA-ispE operon, involved in the resuscitation of Mtb from dormancy. Read biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh….

So, in March, I decided to open a Substack account to write about music and other things. This is my second post. It's about @diamondplatnumz's gains in Amapiano. chepkorir.substack.com/p/komasava-dia…

Amazing tribute to your grandmother @TerryKipkorir. Her life is truly inspirational.

Tomorrow, I'll moderate a session discussing Somalia's admission into @jumuiya. Dr. Bashir Sheikh-Ali, who wrote on this for @HIPSINSTITUTE, and my good friend @SylWekesa, will share their insights on the topic. I welcome you all, especially the citizens of Jumuiya & IGAD.

@rideyourcity @ProfSrilaRoy Agreed!

@DrElvisEze @YaleDigestive Congratulations!

Super excited to be heading to @YaleDigestive for gastroenterology fellowship!

@edowino @QuietStorm254 @s_chepkorir @rollybishop @s_chepkorir @QuietStorm254 have you two considered writing a book together about music evolution in the region? I would love to read it.

@QuietStorm254 @s_chepkorir @wsambu @rollybishop Not quite, it was his take on authenticite. Kinda like what the local pop musicians were clamoring for a few years ago..... Ban or significantly reduce the available airtime for non Kenyan music then hope that it will force Kenyans to listen to more local content....

@wsambu I didn't know about this... 👇🏿

@JMARIARA @PEPnetwork Congratulations @JMARIARA !

As I complete 7 years @PEPnetwork, I want to share that building a global organization with impeccable credentials in leading Southern researchers to conduct cutting-edge economic policy research with wonderful colleagues has been an incredibly rewarding journey.

I am hiring several pre docs/research assistants in Medellin. RT! Apply! Past RAs have regularly gone on to top-10 PhD programs or to great policy careers. My earliest field RAs are now professors at top universities. Too many pre-docs are US-based and focused on data analysis. This is a chance to learn the craft of field research—primary data collection, quasi/randomized experiment design, team management, government relationships, data management, etc. 3 positions open: 1) Senior research assistant (Typically has an MA and previous RA or managerial experience): poverty-action.org/senior-researc… 2) Research assistant (typically a high performing recent undergraduate, ideally with some RA experience): poverty-action.org/research-assoc… 3) Research analyst (typically a recent undergraduate, more of a technical support staff, looking for an entry-level step in a research analyst position): poverty-action.org/research-analy… If you are not sure which to apply to, apply to one and we will sort you, or apply to more than one (same materials) and we will figure it out. Finally, this is one of the most beautiful cities in the world with the best weather. Also a mecca for cuclists and climbers.

Call for abstracts: African Conference on Transport Research (ATRC) 2024, to be hosted by the Volvo Research and Education Foundations and @CfTSAfrica. We invite you to submit extended abstracts with a word limit of 1500 – 2000 words. See details below: vref.se/event/call-for…

Very excited about attending @transport_sa #SATC2023 conference with @rideyourcity. I am looking forward to what I am sure will be interesting conversations.

With my person @wsambu relaxing to a peaceful rendering of Edgar's serenade on strings directed by the incomparable @sueperkins on this final day of @MaryleboneFest in Central London. Great music outdoors can really quench the heat of summer.
