Women Leaders in Science - Nic Bennett Nic Bennett researches power, ideology, and belonging in science communication as a postdoctoral researcher on the SciComm Identities Project at Michigan State University. Bennet engages arts- and science-based research and practice to critique, disrupt, and reimagine science communication spaces. Alongside scientists, artists, activists, and community members, she hopes to expand the circle of human concern in science communication and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).

🌾 A Billion Liters Saved! 💧 Thanks to disease-resistant wheat varieties, farmers have saved nearly a billion liters of #fungicide this century. But this is just the beginning. 🌍🌾 Wheat’s “wild relatives” hold the key to unlocking even greater genetic potential, offering resilience to climate change and evolving diseases. With climate shifts threatening global wheat harvests and #foodsecurity, now is the time to increase investments in researching these untapped resources. 🔬 By harnessing advanced #breeding tools like gene sequencing and big data analytics, we can develop wheat varieties that are not only more resilient but also environmentally regenerative. 🌿 This isn't just about protecting crops – it's about protecting our planet and future generations. 🌱 Read more: https://bit.ly/3TTLZ8S #WheatScience #ClimateResilience #SustainableAgriculture #InvestInResearch

🌱 The Youth and Women Quality Centre (YWQC) initiative, led by CBCC under the #AVISA project, is revolutionizing rural livelihoods by introducing labor-saving technologies and creating sustainable income streams. Through strategic partnerships with tech providers and a cost-sharing model, YWQC centers are now equipped with Multi-Crop Thresher (MCT) machines—dramatically improving seed production efficiency. 📢 Recently, 40 youth, women, and farmers in the Songwe region were trained to operate the MCT and run their own threshing businesses. Thanks to collaboration with Imara Tech and CBCC, five YWQC centers and individual farmers acquired these cutting-edge machines. The MCT, capable of threshing up to nine crops, is enhancing seed and grain quality, reducing costs, and improving delivery times, particularly benefiting sorghum farmers. 💡 At the YWQC level, these advancements are boosting income by providing threshing services to local seed producers and communities. By empowering youth and women, the initiative is driving agricultural progress and self-sufficiency across Tanzania.
