African youth are almost 1/5 of the world’s youth. What does it mean for *humanity* that #BlackandSTEM are excluded from science on the continent and globally? #ICHEP2018
African nationals are only 0.5% of particle experimentalists at CERN, despite being almost 20% of global population 😡 #ICHEP2018 #BlackandSTEM
LHCb has no African participation. #BlackandSTEM #ICHEP2018
When talking about women in African physics, which women are you talking about? Muronga notes the importance of especially talking to and with women from the villages. #BlackandSTEM #ICHEP2018
ICTP has done a good job of recruiting African women to visit and collaborate on science #ICHEP2018 #BlackandSTEM
