@Big_IDIA’s Development & Outreach pitched an interdisciplinary science for development idea to be supported through a prize & turned into a concrete project at the #Science4Dev workshop in Cape Town. @Big_IDIA won the prize for the pitch. Read more here: idia.ac.za/science-for-devel…

Wonderful words from a great young South African scientist. 👏 Curiosity paves the way to so many discoveries that end up changing lives. #science4dev
Science for 'fun' vs science for impact. A colleague of mine once said that my kind of research is a 'hobby' for rich people...should @dsigovza continue to fund fundamental research? I share my thoughts on the @SAYAS_SA February blog. @ACRU_UKZN @UKZN

Data was captured about type & number of trash items collected around lagoon & beachfront. Data will be summarised & fed 2 various organisations. Not all #science4dev projects have 2 be rocketscience. Start small, work within your community, join existing projects, teach children
