There are several reasons why Issue 84 of The Drumbeat, our monthly e-newsletter, is an unputdownable read 📖. 💡 One, the story of the month delves into how what was for ages considered waste, and discarded during sorghum processing, is now turned into an invaluable product

However perfect an idea 💡 is, if not actualized/implemented, then it remains just that: a perfect idea. That will not be of much help, right? Zambia has sat and discussed how to move the dialogue on One Health from the boardroom to the ground- and this Thursday, we are hearing

In two days' time, Uganda tells her story- the painstaking journey towards achievement of an optimal One Health environment. It is quite the journey and therefore quite the story, as told by Prof Clovice Kankya and Dr Fred Monje to @afri_isaaa's Dr @mkarembu and @Bibsiraki.

One Health. You see, this is, inarguably, a discussion we cannot avoid, because of the interconnectedness of different actors in our ecosystem and the importance of each one of them, yes? And Uganda has a story. Quite an interesting story you truly want to listen to, I can

There's A LOT to be worried about when it comes to our media consumption habits! Explains why our capacity to reason has dwindled. Sinking to new lows on a daily! Garbage in-Garbage out. We must do better. The big question is HOW do we overcome this?

If you've harboured suspicions that the June protests were also a watershed period for how media is consumed, wonder no more. One of the biggest platforms from that period was...a gossip blog? Nairobi Gossip Club (NGC) was Kenya's number one news source across Meta's platforms

@mkarembu says that everyone of us is a scientist. How, then, do we define science? Why is there as much disinformation and misinformation in science? How can that be addressed? @Bibsiraki and Dr Karembu tackle that on https://t.co/zNSkbc6wRZ Science is...

As you start your day, do me a favor. Comment, retweet, or quote #FormIEBC as many times as you can. I only need 1000 mentions of this hashtag to kick-start the campaign. The IEBC is our only way out of this mess now. Retweet widely.

@Bibsiraki: One of the biggest limitations to research in Africa is cost and availability of reagents. What if Africa could produce her reagents locally? The AfriBIOHubs is empowering bioentrepreneurs with skills to develop their own reagents. https://t.co/eYrNo3zwg6

Kenya's Gen Zs in Biotechnology and Biosafety decided to 🎵 Anguka Nayo 🎶 by explaining why biotech is the way to go for biodiversity. The potential is huge. The benefits are self explanatory. The Gen Zs cannot hide the excitement. https://t.co/LZ3QEpumgJ
