Good to hear such positive comments from the Egypt Academy of Sciences!
Genome editing has potential application in agriculture, #ClimateChange and food security in Egypt🇪🇬. However, creating public awareness on its adoption requires effective science communication, says Prof. Mahmoud Sakr, president of Egypt Academy of Sciencec @ASRTEgypt.

From humble beginnings with only a handful of employees, we have now grown into a family of over 50 employed individuals. Indeed, we are catalysts of change, transforming not only the lives of our team members but also the lives of their families and the communities they belong right here in Nigeria. @PetrosFarms is gearing up to unveil its biggest chicken house yet. Brace yourselves, as this colossal structure is designed to accommodate a whopping 20,000 chickens. We are incredibly proud of how far we have come. Our journey has been filled with challenges and triumphs, but our team's passion and expertise have led us to this incredible milestone. Opening Pen 3 will not only allow us to increase our production capacity but also create more job opportunities for our youth. Petros Farms is not just a name; it is a symbol of hope and progress for all who are part of our journey. We invite you to join us in celebrating this milestone, as we continue to pave the way for a prosperous future; where our passion for poultry farming meets the aspirations of our youth, where our expertise cultivates sustainable growth, and where the impact of our efforts resonates far beyond the walls of Petros Farms.

GM is still an important plant breeding tool. Gene editing can also be used to produce a GMO. So, don't demonize transgenics to build support for Gene editing says @opuahabeikwen at the Sci Comms workshop by @ScienceAlly in Calabar. @josephopoku1990 @mqhlay @IITA_CGIAR @wacci_gh
