Attending graduation ceremonies is amazing! A clear illustration of hard work, dedication & resilience by every individual scholar. African capacity development in action. I cannot help but feel positive about the future when I see all these amazing & enthusiastic professionals with new degrees

Today I had the pleasure to attend Dr Vanessa Muwanga’s PhD graduation, which was a wonderful experience! Congratulations Vanessa.

If it’s possible that my dog and tortoise play together like this, surely human beings with much greater cerebral capacity are able to set aside selfishness and greed, find common ground and strive to make life better for all, especially those who struggle to make ends meet?

Was great to host visitors from @ahri-news.bsky.social at SATVI for this workshop on transcriptomic and RNAseq analyses! We look forward on collaborating to tackle the critical challenges of asymptomatic TB!

so jealous! Pity that my visa application was refused

thanks Jayne!

Lovely end of year celebration for the SATVI team at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Wishing all a well-deserved break for some R&R
