Another great time interacting with participants of the Bio-Imaging West Africa (BIWA2024) meeting sponsored by GSK. It has been very likely and exciting meeting participants from 12 different countries. #BIWA24 #WAMBIAN #microscopy #buildingcapacity WAMBIAN NETWORK WACCBIP

Practical sessions on geometric optics with Kurt @CALM_STP and hands on the systems with Pez Hayes and Elena Remacha

Love a good review on fluorescence microscopy. Pez Hayes from MDC-BIMSB started the 2nd day of Bio-Imaging West Africa 2024 at the WACCBIP. Sponsored by GSK

Elena kicks off #day3 of the bio-imaging #BIWA24 workshop with a presentation centered on exploration into digital microscopy. Kurt, next on stage, guides participants through the fascinating realm of tissue imaging & explains different approaches to tissue imaging. WACCBIPis10

Feels good when a team building an OpenFlexure starts to get their first images come into focus :) WAMBIAN NETWORK WACCBIP

Exciting times at Presbyterian Senior High Technical School! #BIWA2024 facilitators are thrilled to engage with young scientists, sparking curiosity, nurturing bright minds, and empowering them to build foldscopes. #WACCBIPIS10

The🌍is big and very small, but also quite interesting in some active communities🤸‍♀️I met Elena Remacha and Pez Hayes in #NEUBIAS2020, all of us students in a way. Tomorrow we're meeting again to keep spreading the #BIA spirit😍 thanks to their effort with WAMBIAN NETWORK in #BIWA2024🙏

Sad to be leaving Ghana, but I loved spending the last 2 weeks with #BIWA2024 participants from all over Africa. It was great to see WAMBIAN NETWORK's network spreading, to feel the big improvements our new facilitators and guest lecturers added, and the African enthusiasm all around.
