Here, through the Africa Science Dialogue Podcast courtesy of @afri_isaaa I delve into the problematic Striga weed that devastates farmers' fields and has a negative impact on food security. Also, I call upon young scientists to keep on keeping on! youtube.com/live/Kktq-xuWK…

She’s done it again 🤩 Faith Kipyegon closes out the @nikepreclassic with a jaw-dropping 3:48.68 world record in the 1500m 😤 She lowers her own world record by .36 seconds almost exactly a year to the day after setting it 🐐 #DiamondLeague

Nice!
It has been a while… but an updated, faster & more accurate version of OrthoFinder is now out! Scales to thousands of species on conventional compute resources with higher accuracy than ever before and the same data rich fully phylogenetic outputs 👉biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Kenya has officially removed visas for all Africans* and most Caribbean countries. No ETA, no forms, just show up. Karibu! *except Libya and Somalia
Mornings are for confirming GR24-induced Striga germination for plant-parasite interactions studies in #sorghum, #fingermillet and #rice. Next, #CRISPR .
I wish those of us who have the opportunity to do science always think this way. Why do we do what we do? How does it help the public. Keep asking this @Striga_Steve
I can relate. “I kept asking myself: What is my profession worth if my people are starving while I have knowledge, skills, and experience in agriculture and food systems?” !
I just published: When war and famine hit home: A PhD student who stepped up What would you do if war and famine broke out in your homeland — while you were ten thousand kilometers away, working on your PhD? This is how Hagos @hagos98 chose to act. medium.com/p/when-war-and…

Are we Kenyans the most indefatigable runners or what? Congratulations Beatrice!
WORLD RECORD!!!! 13:58.06 in the 5000m!!!!!😱😱 Beatrice Chebet 🇰🇪 what have you just done???? She destroyed the World Record in the women's 5000m at the Prefontaine Classic, becoming the first woman in history to break 14 minutes on track! The previous record was 14:00.21 by…
Genome editing (CRISPR-Cas9) offers a precise way to modify plant genomes. It allows for targeted changes to DNA sequences, enabling breeders to introduce beneficial traits like disease resistance, stress tolerance, enhanced nutritional value, and increased yield.
Another plasmid I am excited about offering is this fully open source Taq polymerase expression circuit. Inducible via lactose or IPTG. Ampicillin selected. Born free. You can make your own polymerase and purification is as easy as boiling water and centrifuging. Coming soon!
