& Quotable

We are all acutely aware of Africa’s urgent need to adapt and apply science and technology to alleviate poverty and catalyze economic development. By generating a critical mass of promising, world-class scientists and deploying them to cultivate the fertile minds of students, Africa will be harnessing two resources which it has in great abundance: innovation and determination.
