Science Communication Training
Trains scientists to translate complex research for non-technical audiences. Builds skills for media interviews, social media influence, and policy briefs.
ISAAA AfriCenter has the Africa mandate in sharing knowledge on biosciences through strategic communications and outreach for informed policy and choice. Over the years, the gap between science and society has stifled the speed in which research outputs are transitioned into useful products for the people. In the African context, misinformation, aggressive activism, unfavourable policies and regulations, have seen the continent lag behind in adopting bioscience innovations.
