? Science Not Shared is Science Lost: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Impact ???
In the heart of Africa, where innovation meets resilience, lies an untapped reservoir of scientific brilliance. Yet, too often, groundbreaking research remains confined within the walls of journals, inaccessible to the communities it seeks to serve. This February, I am thrilled to join the "Science Communication Beyond Journal Publications" workshop at the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) as one of the lead trainers. Together, we will unravel the power of storytelling, creative media, and strategic communication to amplify science's voice beyond academia.
Science is not just about discovery！it's about connection. Imagine a researcher in Kampala whose work could transform public health policy but struggles to translate their findings into actionable insights for policymakers. Or a young scientist in Nairobi whose groundbreaking study on climate resilience could inspire farmers but remains buried in technical jargon. These stories matter. They hold the potential to change lives and rewrite Africa¨s narrative on poverty and development.
At this workshop, we will explore how scientists can collaborate with communicators to craft compelling stories that resonate with policymakers, communities, and global audiences alike. From podcasts that bring lab discoveries to life ? to press releases that spark media attention ? and digital tools that democratize knowledge ?！we will empower participants to make their research accessible and impactful.
This mission aligns deeply with my belief that Africa MUST change the way it tackles poverty. Science communication is not just about sharing knowledge; it's about driving action. When researchers effectively communicate their work, they empower communities with solutions rooted in evidence. They influence policies that prioritize sustainable development. They inspire innovation that addresses grassroots challenges.
Let us humanize science！infuse it with stories of hope, struggle, and triumph！and ensure it reaches those who need it most. Because when science connects with people, it transforms lives.
To my fellow scientists and communicators: this is our call to action. Let¨s bridge the gap between discovery and impact. Let¨s co-create stories that not only inform but inspire action across Africa and beyond.

The hospitality industry is deeply influenced by social and cultural factors that shape customer expectations, service delivery, and overall business operations. Hospitality, which encompasses lodging, food and beverage services, travel, and tourism, thrives on human interactions. Understanding the social and cultural dimensions is crucial for businesses to create positive guest experiences, ensure inclusivity, and maintain a competitive edge in a globalized world. This paper explores the social and cultural perspectives in hospitality, focusing on their impact on service quality, customer relations, workforce diversity, and the adaptation of businesses to different cultural settings.

Australia's energy policy for heavy industries such as steel production are based on storing renewable energy as green hydrogen. However, steel production is energy intensive and green hydrogen is proving to be difficult to commercialise, let alone produce, store, and transport. The renewable energy link to Indonesia and Singapore, based on the plan for the Australian Renewable Energy Hub in the Pilbara, has been replaced by the idea that green hydrogen can be converted to green ammonia for transportation, and converted back to hydrogen on the other side. Again, the process is energy intensive. Add to the energy demands that will be created by data centres and artificial intelligence, the scaling up of energy production is unlikely to be met without nuclear. The green energy dream is unlikely to materialise and is proving unworkable.2025-03-09 FATC 02 Joseph of Arimathea & Nicodemus (shared slides).pptx
