[Marina Joubert]

Dear SASCON members
 
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE AFRICAN SCIENCE COMMUNICATION CONFERENCE
 
Catch some of the highlights from the recent African Science Communication
Conference on the SciDev.Net blog about this event.  I blogged along with
Christina Scott (African News Editor for SciDev.Net) to capture some key
thoughts and ideas (and a few images).
 
Go to
http://scidevnet.wordpress.com/category/african-science-communication-confer
ence-2009/ to read about Agent Zee; Genes, Teens & Hot Sex, Zimbabe, Fish,
plane drops and activists and find out what all of these topics have to do
with science communication in Africa. 
 
Scroll down for five recommendations for science communication in Africay
from Mohamed Hassan's (Secretary General of the Academy of Sciences for the
Developing World).
 
If you log on to SciDev.Net (or sign in as a new subscriber) you can also
comment on these postings - and we would love to hear from you.
 
The conference was organised by South Africa's Agency for Science and
Technology Advancement (SAASTA).
