In Africa, science often takes a backseat in policy formulation and implementation. There are limited platforms that amplify bioscience development on the continent, making it difficult for this agenda to attract the attention of policy makers.Lack of a regular source of factual bioscience news updates from around Africa also contributes to this challenge.
The DrumBeat, an e- newsletter that tells African bioscience stories, aims to bridge this gap.The monthly e - newsletter brings absorbing stories on Africa’s latest bioscience development and cutting - edge scientific innovations, as well as expert views and recommendations on optimizing science and technology to steer the continent forward.
The newsletter has gained popularity in the region and across the globe, with over 4,000 subscribers comprising policy makers, media, development partners, scientists and academia.
