What's the best way to include African scholars in development research? #AES2025
@mayaranganath.bsky.social reports results from CEGA's CIDR survey, finding 90% of African-educated scholars state the cost of education is prohibitive to getting a PhD + African govs struggle to prioritize research.

This is deeply illegal, violating appropriations law, authorizations law, and the Impoundment Control Act.
It is also deeply immoral, condemning people to die.

So proud to have co-organized this rally, w/ inspiring + brave speeches from @tedmiguel.bsky.social, @fdoperez.bsky.social, @jenniferdoudna.bsky.social+20 more and 1000+ attendees! We need to keep fighting against the depraved stream of chaos flooding this country and damaging the rest of the world.
That felt good! Great speeches from the Berkeley community, ranging from Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna to undergraduate student leaders.
Amazing energy in defense of science, and it felt good to do something positive, even if it's just a small step.
Below is the text I read. #StandUpForScience !
