Today's @iLEAPS_ECSN webinar by Dr Avana was very informative, highlighted the excellent capacity building work by @africanff on Rapid Carbon Stock Appraisal in African forests. Great to see the new capacity building & stakeholder engagement programmes in the pipeline.
I'm honoured to introduce Dr. Marie Louise Avana from @africanff to @iLEAPS_ECSN Africa webinar series tomorrow Tuesday 24th Nov. Join us to learn more about her work related to African forests.
Fabulous! Looking forward to the African event. We look forward to your participation
Excited at the amazing line up @iLEAPS_ECSN have for the November iLEAPS Africa event - we are looking forward to it - please sign up & tune in. Please consider entering our 3rd twitter poster conference it is a very rewarding experience for all @FutureEarth @AIMES_IPO @SOLAS_IPO

Excellent talk by @danielofori_ @KewScien #SOTWPF Allanblackia parviflora germplasm & its interactions with mycorrhiza (AMF). Dramatic effect of AMF on Allanblackia seedlings. We should encourage similar studies with other African Allanblackia species. Collaboration will be key.
Great to participate & interact with many African Early Career Researchers at last week's workshop on #Pathways to #Sustainability organised by @Belmont_Forum @FutureEarth @iLEAPS_ECSN @iLEAPS18, loads of opportunities for networking and collaborations

this something to think about
UK cat tests positive for coronavirus. The cat has made a full recovery.
There is no evidence humans can catch coronavirus from their pets, but pets may be able to contract the virus from their owners.

It was great to participate at the Kenya Africa Regional Data Cube Training workshop hosted by @MeteoKenya Nairobi, superbly delivered by @kenmubea @Data4SDGs. My @iLEAPS18 presentation on Networking generated excellent discussions on on data sharing and visibility in the region.
We have had three days of excellent lectures and highly interactive group discussions on managing and conserving Forest Genetic Resources @KEFRIHQ @UK_CEH @UniofOxford @BioversityInt @KEFRIHQ @scavers_at_wk course. Participants have provided new local perspectives.
Super first day of Forest Genetic Resources training course hosted @KEFRIHQ in partnership with @UK_CEH, @UniofOxford and @BioversityInt attended by a wide range of participants involved in forestry, great for ongoing tree planting drive in Kenya
Excellent turnout and engagement
@EvansJonG & @drylett @CEHScienceNews servicing the @FCFAhycristal Climate/Sensible Heat Station at James Finlays Marinyn Tea Estate Kericho, Kenya. Great to witness the deft operation. This site is to benchmark future installations that we are advocating in the region @iLEAPS.
