We had a great workshop this morning delivered by the fantastic @NamukoloC - how can we get better at communicating with policymakers? Lots of food for thought on refining our messaging, and being aware of key policy windows.

Is #PearlMillet, or #coos, a nutritious alternative to rice? If it is, what #policy implications might there be? Get some answers from our fab panel from @mrcunitgambia, 🇬🇲 National Nutrition Agency, and @Cambridge_Uni 🇬🇧. Book for free: festival.cam.ac.uk/events/mu…

Our partner @niabgroup have made a snazzy webpage about MillNETi on their new website! 👀 Take a look at it here: niab.com/research/agricultur…

Starting now!

Exciting programme win today - 3 crates of lab equipment have made it from the UK to our partners @bdueduet in Ethiopia! Although not in the original plan, with #COVID19 preventing the team traveling to labs in the Gambia, we decided to send the lab to the team 🔬🧪🧫

We were filming this morning in the glasshouses at @niabgroup 🇬🇧 - Dr Lydia Smith has grown some demo pearl and finger millet plants for tours, but with those cancelled this was the next best thing! Watch this space for the finished film 🎥

Focus groups have kicked off in #Ethiopia! PhD students Helen and Tadesse, with supervisors Hirut and Minale, from @bdueduet spoke to women in Dangila to find out how they prepare #injera from millets. They will follow the women's methods in their nutritional analyses.

#TBT It is a month today since Hirut, Helen 🇪🇹 and Wanjiku 🇰🇪 arrived in India 🇮🇳 for the @TIGR2ESS General Assembly and workshops at @ICRISAT. How time flies! You can read about their experience in their great #blog 👉 tigr2ess.globalfood.cam.ac.u…

Did you know our very own @shailajafennell was the first BAME woman appointed university lecturer @Cambridge_Uni ? ✨ She is featured in an exhibition at @theUL! #WomenatCambridge @TIGR2ESS
