The Humanity museum exhibition is a key SA #scicomm decolonisation effort! Must still go see it in person but thanks on behalf of the @ScienceLinkSA team for the opportunity to write & translate for @Iziko_Museums! cc @engelbriewe @AstroSibs @Nomaculture @Bomikazi_

"Next winter, Elandskloof toddlers could be settling into a brand new crèche, roofed and floored in a zero-carbon cement made from invasive plants cleared by their elders." A circular economy project I covered for @CSIR's Science Scope: 75570714.flowpaper.com/ScienceScopeVo… #scicomm
South African paleoscientists say reforms are urgent to retain talented Black graduates, to develop the field at historically disadvantaged institutions, and to ensure that museums can play their critical #scicomm role. My latest for @ResearchAfrica researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-africa…
[LISTEN] I spoke to @lesterkk this morning on @CapeTalk about some awesome research on how artificial light at night negatively affects wild mice near cities. @natAfrica1 omny.fm/shows/capetalk…
What do we mean when we say "#decolonise science"? @AstroSibs explains it's about including more people in science discourse by e.g. developing local African language #scicomm: sciencelink.notion.site/What-we-mean-w… cc @Nomaculture
Over the last decade I've worked with amazing young, South African writers, artists, scientists & linguists at @ScienceLinkSA, telling stories in English, in African languages, and in pictures. In 2024, we want to support inclusive #scicomm projects - pls DM/email if we can help.
After 10+ yrs running #scicomm projects & researcher trainings @ScienceLinkSA, I want to do more co-creation projects to include people who have traditionally been left out of science discourse, esp. in #Africa. Please share any connections & opportunities, esp. in Gauteng 🙏
Meet @CSIR 's Lufuno Vhengani, a space scientist of sorts, automating things for SA's official @OCIMS_SA coastal #waterquality tracking tool: @eo4wq. The tool will help authorities monitor invasive plants, sea temperatures and harmful algal blooms. tumblr.com/eo4wq/73295345…

The iLukuluku science podcast entertains & includes Zulu listeners. It's a proudly SA example of developing a local language #scicomm, say @AstroSibs @Nomaculture & @aninja_m of @SciBraai & @ScienceLinkSA bit.ly/3OnV6uZ
