ScienceLink is proud to have worked with @OxCIEJ to produce a new layer for the #MineAlert tool oxpeckers.org/minealert. The “Mining Your Water” layer tracks mine water use licences, esp where these mines put SA’s priority water areas at risk #Water #DayZero #Mining
We're thrilled to announce that @GI_TOC is launching their Media Matters map of wildlife crime stories today, which we helped build in partnership with @OxCIEJ Watch the launch live or see the tool here globalinitiative.net/digital…
The year is 2038. A deadly tropical disease has just been eradicated in Ghana. Doesn’t that sound like a future scenario we all dream about for Africa? Scientists from across the continent could bring us closer to this particular dream #ImagineFutureAfrica

In our efforts to communicate science in Africa, we should not assume that the authority of science will replace religion, says Dr Falade. #SciCom100 #SciCOMAfrica @bankolefalade
That's a wrap from #SCICOM100, an amazing 3 days of learning, conversation and challenge. Keep an eye on www0.sun.ac.za/scicom/ for recaps and summaries
Some of the most publicly-engaged scientists in South Africa cut their teeth as activists in pre-democratic SA. How can young, up-and-coming researchers continue with this culture of public engagement in the SA of the 21st century? @marinajoubert #scicomm100 (edit: @AstroSibs )
Dr Konosoang Sobane (@HSRCza) worked with a health communication agency to understand why people drop out of ART programmes despite #scicomm strategies to keep people involved #scicom100
Fish is demonstrating sound and vibration here towards the end of #SCICOM100. He's woken up a sleepy audience with vuvuzela's, imbira's and some homemade instruments #scicomm #scicomAfrica
