African Women for Biosciences Embrace Social Media for Communicating Science |
|
|
|
A social media post-training poll has revealed that 73% of women in biosciences would be willing to write and engage online audiences through Twitter and opinion pieces. This was after the science communication training conducted by African Women for Bioscience (AWfB), in partnership with ISAAA AfriCenter, indicating skill-set attainment and development of self-confidence. The training was held on June 25, 2020 and was attended by 35 invited participants from the academia, researchers, private sector service providers, the media, and professional groups.
