Excited to share that I will start my lab this summer as an ECL Unit Leader at RIKEN CSRS!
We will study perception by cell-surface receptors across diverse plant species.
I’ll be recruiting soon, so please reach out if you’re interested!
My friend Ndindi Nyoro , with due respect, I acknowledge and appreciate your deep analysis regarding the proposed sale of the government’s Safaricom shares. However, my position is clear and unapologetic.
This conversation should not be framed around whether the shares are sold to Kenyans or to an international entity. Safaricom is not just another company ,it is a national heritage and a strategic asset. It must be protected at all costs. There should be no double speak, no sugarcoating, and no clever wording to justify what is plainly unacceptable.
We must call out and stop this government shenanigan. Public assets should not be treated as emergency cash machines to fix poor fiscal discipline. SAFARICOM BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE OF KENYA , NOT TO TEMPORARY OCCUPANTS OF OFFICE .
My friend Ndindi Nyoro, unless one has a personal commercial interest in acquiring these shares given the widely known fact that you actively trade in shares this proposal should worry every patriot. As for me, I stand firmly with Kenyans.
If this matter comes before Parliament, I will vote against it without hesitation. National heritage is not for sale.
Our Memorandum as presented today before the joint Committee of Finance & National Planning and Public Debt & Privatisation on the Proposed sale of GoK's 15% stake in Safaricom, Nairobi, Kenya.
1. Kenya must open up the transaction to international bidders.
2. The valuation is not commensurate to what Safaricom PLC is. The company was valued at Ksh 1.8 Trillion in 2021 before the investment in Ethiopia. It should be worth more now.
3. The immobilisation of 16Bn shares in June 2025 owned by the buyer was meant to undermine the share price by ostensibly sending a message of imminent supply.
4. Kenya cannot afford to lose over Ksh 80Bn on Conditions Precedent extended by the regulators.
5. Bottomline; open the bid to International Markets, Kenya will definitely get more.
We are African and Africa is our Business..

gganimate is a powerful extension for ggplot2 that transforms static visualizations into dynamic animations. By adding a time dimension, it allows you to illustrate trends, changes, and patterns in your data more effectively. Whether you're exploring time-series data or visualizing processes, gganimate takes your storytelling to the next level.
The attached animated visualization, which I created with gganimate, showcases a ranked bar chart of the top 3 countries for each year based on inflation since 1980. I think it’s great how the bars slide in when countries enter the top 3 and fade out smoothly as they exit, adding a polished and dynamic touch to the presentation of the data.
If you'd like to learn how to create compelling animations like this, join my online course, Data Visualization in R Using ggplot2 & Friends. In this course, I’ll guide you step-by-step through creating animations like these and more! Further details: https://t.co/ztlEzoEDWv

@kibetwilly35 thrives in hunting down a notorious cereal killer, the infamous witchweed, Striga.
Striga is notorious for decimation of some key crops, such as sorghum, and frustrates millions of farmers every season.
Alongside this, Kibet is a communicator and talks about biotech with the enthusiasm of a seasoned advocate. Plus, he has something to say to young scientists: Keep going. Keep the faith. Keep your mentors close.
This Friday, July 18, at 0430hrs UTC, we host him on The Africa Science Dialogue Podcast to tell us about weeding out weed 😊 in Africa.
