Harmful invasive plant prolongs life of mosquitoes and can escalate malaria incidence in East Africa. New interesting and important study by @icipe with core support from @Sida. Always innovative @icipe has also ideas for ecologically based solutions! https://t.co/IXWfH1GCqG

[Michaela Lundell @Mich_Sci]

Good advice from @HakimAbdi on how to avoid worst type of unequal research cooperation: include your partners in early discussions, train them on the latest tools that are used in the discipline, make them co-authors. In @TidningenCurie: https://t.co/lEgd7Yqi3I

In the last three years 524 women from low- and middle income countries have been awarded PhD Fellowships via @Sida's and @OWSDsecretariat’s research cooperation. Meet the 2020 PhD Graduates and be inspired: https://t.co/ryVqsHQNWw #InternationalWomensDay

[Michaela Lundell @Mich_Sci]

What can a PhD through @OWSDsecretariat & @Sida's research cooperation lead to? Example: 2013 fellow Christelle Dzesse Tekouo was recently appointed the first woman lecturer in the School of Chemical Engineering and Mineral Industries @univNdere, Cameroon. #InternationalWomensDay

[Michaela Lundell @Mich_Sci]

173 women are currently training to be researchers through @OWSDsecretariat and @Sida's PhD Fellowship Programme. Meet one of them, @NdushaBintu from DR Congo, who uses nitrogen-fixing bacteria to combat malnutrition: https://t.co/3O4W5qfBw2

With this excellent toolkit, you can start working on attaining gender equity at your institution. Developed by @INASPinfo together with Tanzanian women researchers with support from @Sida's research cooperation: https://t.co/tXKVpig1LD Why not start today? #InternationWomensDay

[Sida @Sida]

Forskningsframsteg i Sida-stödd studie ger hopp om att eliminera spridning av #hiv från mor till barn. @TeresaSoop på @Sida tror det kommer leda till att fler länder som #Tanzania kommer att satsa på hiv-behandlingen, säger hon till @ttnyhetsbyran: https://t.co/HoXSXo7EYy

The world needs more women in science. Celebrate #WomenInScienceDay by reading some of the inspiring interviews in @SciDevNet's series with successful female innovators and scientists: https://t.co/MVicBqBitK Important science journalism part of @Sida's research cooperation.

Pre-announcement of new research call by @JPIAMR for One Health interventions to prevent antimicrobial resistance #AMR! Open to researchers from 30 African countries, with support from @Sida. More here: https://t.co/Sv8Bb3neKb #EAAD #WAAW #KeepAntibioticsWorking

[Michaela Lundell @Mich_Sci]

Så här hjälper @Sida's forskningssamarbete till att bevara några av världens hotspots för biologisk mångfald, samtidigt som lokalbefolkningens rättigheter stärks och fattigdomen minskar. Viktigt för både klimat, en levande planet, jämlikhet och allas rätt till ett värdigt liv:

Important progress in the fight against the invasive & highly destructive fall armyworm: @icipe has developed biopesticides, that are effective & environmentally safe for African farmers to use. Supported by @Sida. #SDG2 #FallArmyWorm #InvasiveSpecies

Nearly 60% of articles in predatory journals attracted no citations at all, says @Nature.

But despite limited readership, such journals still pose a threat to science in several ways: https://t.co/tKcuoogcxK

[Michaela Lundell @Mich_Sci]

Happy that Dr Jeannette Bayisenge, an expert in women's rights, has been appointed minister in #Rwanda. She got her PhD @GoteborgsUni #Sweden with a gender-based analysis of equal access to land. Second woman from @Sida's research cooperation with Rwanda to become minister!

[Alan AtKisson @AlanAtKisson]

Nu ökar ⁦@Sida⁩ satsningen på demokrati, flera initiativ profileras här på hemsidan. English speakers: Run this website through a translator to get a sense of Sida’s expanded commitment to promoting democracy wherever we work. #DriveForDemocracy https://t.co/4oj8Ou2qup

[Michaela Lundell @Mich_Sci]

This is great news and a good example of what 20 years of capacity building within @Sida's research cooperation can lead to. Health sciences in #Uganda have gone from unprecedented brain drain to being strong and competitive with high impact on both Ugandan and global health.
