Nine years ago, I had the honour of founding the Cambridge University Gospel Choir, never imagining it would one day feature in the University’s festive message. Deeply grateful & proud to see the choir continue to flourish. A true legacy of love, joy & inclusion. Full video youtu.be/WzmwvYHVF8A?...

As our founder @carolibe1.bsky.social said: “AGRIIP is more than a project — it’s a movement. One that sees Africa not as a landscape of challenges, but as a land full of opportunities.” 👉 Read the full story: www.jrbiotekfoundation.org/roots-of-res...

The event marked 10 years of our work & the launch of AGRIIP — a bold movement connecting African scientists & farmers to co-create climate-smart, farmer-led solutions. From expert panels to the new JR Biotek Art Gallery & the first-ever JR Biotek Awards — this day was powerful and full of meaning.

Incredible to see Beakal’s journey! First met him during @jrbiotek.bsky.social 2019 training in Benin & his brilliance was undeniable. Now, he’s driving drought-tolerant Tef research & making a real impact in African agri-space. So proud to see how JR Biotek continues to empower African scientists

10 years ago, I travelled alone to deliver this hands-on molecular biology training workshop in collab with IITA, Nigeria. It was daunting but it shaped my career vision (in plant sciences) & carved a niche for JR Biotek Foundation & its initiatives. We're excited to celebrate with partners in March

Dr Carol N. Ibe @carolibe1.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

I'm so excited about this milestone event & the official launch of AGRIIP, a demand-driven initiative bringing African scientists & innovators, farmers & multistakeholders to co-create resilient, food-secure communities. Together, we can. Thanks to all our partners & supporters. More to follow.
