For me, this "discounted" bill for the 3rd largest publishing country, clearly highlights how traditional publication (fees and access) models hold a disadvantage for research talent in developing and underdeveloped countries. Access to knowledge should not cost as much!

Grateful for the opportunity to present some of the challenges and solutions in Genomic surveillance work within Global South. Thank you 🙏 #nextflowsummit @reviget #genpath #gemibra @MRCza @NRF_News @SuMBHG #bioinformatics

Excited for this opportunity!

[Kimberly Coetzer @CoetzerKimberly]

This recognition by @Foundation L'Oréal, UNESCO and the scientific community across South Africa validates the importance of this work and inspires me to continue my scientific journey. Thank you for this amazing recognition!

Latest article based on my MSc research. We identified known and novel variants implicated in South African OI patients. Thanks to my MSc supervisor ⁦@shahida_moosa⁩. https://t.co/DjcQ28urFV

[Kimberly Coetzer @CoetzerKimberly]

Apply now for the ASBCB 2024 April Codeathon! Collaborate with international participants, opportunities to publish your research, several workshops. Definitely worth doing if you’re interested in coding. Wide range of topics available!
