Last month I was asked to scribe at Planet Earth Institute's Science Africa Unconference. The Planet Earth Institute is an international NGO and charity working for the ‘scientific independence of Africa’. They build their work around three pillars, of higher education, technological innovation and advocacy and policy. FutureGov ran a Simpl challenge asking guests to suggest possible ways of making Africa more scientifically independent. The day was a huge success with talks, workshops and a darn incredible African lunch (it's all about cassava chips). Nice perk of the job.
