[Africa First @AfricaFirsts]

This is not a castle in Italy or Germany.

This is the prestigious University of Ghana, located in Legon, Accra, Ghana 🇬🇭.

Ghana is a country in Africa.

@BBCSport I forgot to add that it is of #Ghanaian origin. The woman is literally living up to her name 💪🏾🙌🏾 #BBCsport

Time to give an update on the fantastic work by Tania Paulo during her PhD, now published in @royalsociety #OpenBiology on the evolution of resistance and disease tolerance mechanisms to oral infection in #Drosophila

[Priscilla Abena Akyaw @abena_akyaw]

This is the first section of the hard work of @TaniaPaulo4 during her #PhD and I feel privileged to have helped in a small way to the success of this amazing story!  You can check out the paper here👉🏾 https://t.co/QrFK015xfB happy reading! 😁

[Mehdi Bouhaddou, PhD @DoctorBou]

Check out our most recent paper studying immune tolerance to #malaria via plasma proteomics in Ghanaian children, a collaboration between researchers @UnivofGh, @QBI_UCSF, @MicrobioUcla, @UCLAQCBio. Shout out to first authors Aisha, Charles, and Andrea!

[Reuters Science News @ReutersScience]

A lack of rain in most of Ivory Coast's cocoa-growing regions could delay the start of the April-to-September mid-crop, potentially leading to a shortage of beans, the main ingredient in chocolate, farmers said on Monday. https://t.co/7wEJRaGrRO https://t.co/7wEJRaGrRO

We expect this experimental framework will prove useful in disentangling the relative roles of #diseasetolerance (to pathogen-induced damage) and #resistance during infections, not only in this #host-#pathogen system but across different species

[nature @Nature]

Scientists have detected resistance to artemisinin, a key malaria drug, for the first time among children in Africa with severe disease https://t.co/c7rsZuNGWC
