We're excited to announce two LabHacks to take place in August/September in Zimbabwe and eSwatini. We're working in collaboration with @nepadsanbio with generous funding from the South African DST. Watch our website labhack.net for more info.

Got me some @labhackathon stash! I talk to 100's of people about #openhardware for #openscience projects & I'm happy to be a walking business card dispenser - if you have cards/stickers send them my way. Promoting awareness is one key to adoption #AfricaOSH19 @GOSHCommunity

African innovators aim at solving local problems, as opposed to creating technologies and then seek for ways of deployment. @jdebeer #AfricaOSH19
