The purpose of this presentation is to highlight The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the important role that science communicators the important role that science communicators have in sharing science knowledge within our have in sharing science knowledge within our continent and the world. This refers both to the continent and the world. This refers both to the communication that occurs between scientists communication that occurs between scientists and other scientists and the communication and other scientists and the communication between scientists and society. The learnings between scientists and society. The learnings are taken from a number of science are taken from a number of science communication projects in the fields of Radio communication projects in the fields of Radio Astronomy, TB in an HIV context and new Astronomy, TB in an HIV context and new developments in Genetic ancestry testing – if developments in Genetic ancestry testing – if you’ve actually read this far then you have a you’ve actually read this far then you have a higher capacity for long strings of text than I higher capacity for long strings of text than I do, but don’t worry because I am nearly on the do, but don’t worry because I am nearly on the next slide.next slide.
