🥁Drumroll, please! It’s the final #shamiriprogram session for Project Anansi.🥳

Our students wrapped up their journey by learning how to identify and embrace their values. We couldn't resist joining in on the fun.

Now it's your turn! What’s YOUR #valueaffirmation?

I will soon get to give a workshop on academic writing to my team of junior researchers. Any advice on resources to use and/or point them towards? Any helpful AI tools to improve academic writing? #research

In @LancetGH presenteerden experts in humanitaire psychische hulp een nieuwe onderzoeksagenda met de belangrijkste vragen.

@NoNgaiWoma @plusminus_nl I haven't, where exactly would you advise me to go?

[Afra @avandermarkt]

On my way to interview a person with #bipolardisorder for @plusminus_nl. This is either the most or the least suitable location

[Afra @avandermarkt]

@NoNgaiWoma @plusminus_nl Interesting! Do you have a citation for this?

Today I'm visiting the Mathari National Psychiatric Hospital to see how mental health care is organized here in Kenya. Very curious what I'll see there, I've heard some worrying but also hopeful stories #mentalhealth #kenya

Today I visited some researchers at the Brain and Mind institute of the Aga Khan University in Nairobi. The research projects carried out there are truly impressive #agakhan #brainandmind #psychiatrykenya
