It has been an eventful 5 weeks learning the rudiments of peer reviewing and having a practical hands-on experience of how to conduct a thorough peer review. Thank you @WACREN and Peoplepraxis for designing and organizing this very important training that brought together both highly experienced and early career academics and researchers across the African Continent to learn and share experiences about the highly technical, but very important concept of peer review. As I look forward to utilizing the newly acquired skills in my peer review endeavours, I hope for more of these training opportunities to further improve my peer reviewing skills. #COPPHApeerreview
