@BuregyeyaDerick @MbararaHospital @DianaAtwine @MinofHealthUG @KagutaMuseveni @JaneRuth_Aceng @AnitahAmong @Thomas_Tayebwa @Parliament_Ug @jessica_alupo @nbstv @StateHouseUg I think Ugandans don’t understand what government/public hospitals mean. If you get free consultation, that should be enough. Expecting free drugs is insane.

At the last science session of the @astronomy2024 meeting giving my talk about my PhD work “incidences and energetics of AGN outflows in X-ray selected samples” #IAUGA2024 #Astronomy2024

It was a pleasure to be hosted by the Ambassador of Italy in Cape Town in honor of the @astronomy2024 meeting happening in Africa for the first time. We look forward to the next IAUGA2027 in Rome, Italy. #IAUGA2024 #Astronomy2024

@spaceclubke @astronomy2024 I may have been confusing the two. Thanks for the correction

That's the book with inspiring stories from women in astronomy in Africa. Finally took a pic with the first African American woman to go to space, Dr. Sian Proctor. Anne and I in our traditional dresses from Masai and Bakiga.
