Last night I had the honour of being inducted into the South African Young Academy of Science.

Today was a good start to our second week at the Berlin Institute for Advanced Study where Jonatan (the PI of our project) presented on the questions that have brought us together. The Q&A that we all participated in was quite interesting, too.

I’m looking forward to this conference by the Azanian Philosophical Society that will be hosted at Fort Hare this week.

Here is an infographic that Tessa Moll (@tessamuldvarp.bsky.social) and I made about the development of racial classifications in South Africa from 1652 to the present. A paper explaining its content is in the works. For now, feel free to download the infographic here: dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.f...

The NASEM have just released their report on the use of race in biomedical research. I look forward to seeing how they have approached this challenge because it is a central concern in some of my own research.
