As the Director, New Gen Pri. School, I convened our 1st Teaching Staff meeting for term 2, 2026. The deliberations were fruitful.

Excited to explore new opportunities to accelerate research on Asystasia through the UGent Agrotopia endowed chair, in collaboration with Prof. Kathy Steppe! Looking forward to driving innovation. @InAgrotopia #Fbwugent #UGent #FoodInnovation

Kicking off #InternationalDays at @FbwUGent in style! Dr. Jackie Epila captivated us with her keynote on Asystasia, a forgotten wild crop. From a fascinating talk to a documentary filmed in Northern Uganda, and a delicious taste of Asystasia - we were spoiled! #Innovation #UGent

To say goodbye, @epilajackie prepared a Ugandan dish with Asystasia gangetica, the crop she investigated the past weeks. What a warm way to end her research stay at our lab. Thank you Jackie for your enthusiasm! #OpenDoorsFellowshipProgram #Africanfemaleresearchers @VIB_IPBO

Visited Agrotopia's rooftop greenhouse today. There is fascinating hydroponics-related experimentation going on there. Borrowing a leaf. #hydroponics #allyearroundfood #newnormal #solutiontolandscarcity

Society is plagued by different forms of harassment. One of the ways of understanding the survivor is by wearing the intersectional lens. An empowering two-day POSH workshop by @vib_ipbo and Njeri Kimotho

I recently attended a present with power workshop where I gave a 3 minute pitch that got me the third place and a book.

On May 26th, 2023, our VLIR-UOS SI 2023 project was selected. I am ecstatic as this grant will contribute towards solving Northern Uganda’s food insecurity equation. Earlier today, I attended the info session at the VLIR-UOS office in Brussels.

Different inconspicuous and subtle cultures exist in a multicultural community that we should all learn to appreciate and make good use of. The @VIB_IPBO workshop was a game-changer: Insights are captured in Jeanne Boden’s book, Cultural Quantum.
