ICRISAT offers its condolences to the King & the Royal Family on the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. In 1983, #ICRISAT had the honour of welcoming Her Majesty to its HQ in India - a tour fondly remembered as part of Her Majesty’s indelible legacy of public service.

Fellow travelers out of #Senegal: note that #IRESSEF does not do emergency RT-PCR tests anymore, yet the public is not informed. Zero empathy, zero compassion from staff on a triple vaccinated traveler requiring urgent travel due to family emergency: sad and disappointing.

[Pierre Sibiry Traore @pstraore]

@iressef En attendant #IRESSEF ne fait plus de tests RT-PCR d'urgence, mais personne n'est informé. Un patient vacciné 3 fois qui doit voyager en urgence pour un décès se voit vertement rejeter par le personnel. Ecoute zéro. Relationnel zéro. Compassion zéro. C'est inacceptable.

#AIMSChats The WIL programs developed with @AIMS_Next set us for more nimble onboarding and hiring of young professionals - closer to their family base or across the world as they wish. We're building a new definition of mobility and efficiency, AND we combat meetingitis better!

#AIMSChats @AIMS_Next and its WIL alumni help us collectively safeguard against the risk of future sectorial monopolies by leading global operators who can best afford digital investments today. This is key for the development of a vibrant African private sector.

#AIMSChats @AIMS_Next alumni involved in artificial intelligence work streams develop new methods for seasonal prediction, model optimization, advisory systems, feedback loops, hybrid insurance products and production forecasts.

[Pierre Sibiry Traore @pstraore]

#AIMSChats @AIMS_Next alumni working with @ManobiAfrica and @ICRISAT on hyperlocal data streams develop new methods for feature extraction, digital mapping, poverty metrics, compliance monitoring, risk scoring and IoT sensors.

[Pierre Sibiry Traore @pstraore]

#AIMSChats @AIMS_Next alumni work with @ManobiAfrica and @ICRISAT on two large work streams focused on hyperlocal data and artificial intelligence. Some intervene upstream in algorithm discovery, others downstream in service workflow development

[Pierre Sibiry Traore @pstraore]

@AIMS_Next @ICRISAT We host @AIMS_Next alumni in two large work streams related to hyperlocal data and artificial intelligence. Some intervene more upstream in the discovery of new algorithms. Others more downstream in the translation of algorithms into operational workflows.

[Pierre Sibiry Traore @pstraore]

#AIMSChats A capacity to learn autonomously, genuine curiosity and the desire to deliver social and developmental value are key personality traits that we often look for, and indeed find, in @AIMS_Next WIL participants in addition to their core computational skills.

[Pierre Sibiry Traore @pstraore]

#AIMSChats Hosting @AIMS_Next alumni in a PPP setting with @ManobiAfrica and @ICRISAT allow us to concurrently offer and leverage exploratory, research-focused investigations and business-facing, operational workflows

[Pierre Sibiry Traore @pstraore]

#AIMSChats thanks @CharlesKimpolo. Our partnership with @AIMS_Next is an important instrument for the development of our business and R&D capabilities, as it provides direct access to mathematical, statistical and computational skills that are critical for innovation and impact
