Honored to be a panellist at the #RootsOfResilience2025 event by @JRbiotek at @slcuplants!
I shared insights on how @JRbiotek capacity-building has enhanced my research in plant pathology and how we can translate research into practical solutions for #smallholderFarmers.
Our Roots of Resilience 2025 was unforgettable! We celebrated 10 years of our impactful work training African agri-scientists + launched #AGRIIP & spotlighted African-led innovations with stunning African art. Huge thanks to our speakers, artist, chairs, supporters & team 💚
Special thanks to @slcuplants for your incredible hospitality, and to @plantsci @GlobalFood_Camb @Newnham_College for your support. We deeply appreciate everyone who came from far and near to celebrate 10 years of our collaborative work training & empowering African scientists.
