Imaging Africa: a strategic approach to optical microscopy training in Africa. Reiche, M. A, Warner, D. F, Aaron, J., Khuon, S., Fletcher, D. A, Hahn, K., Rogers, K. L, Mhlanga, M., Koch, A., Quaye, W., & Chew, T. Nature Methods, 18(8):847–855, Nature Publishing Group, aug, 2021. Paper doi abstract bibtex Life scientists in Africa have had limited opportunity to participate in international advanced scientific training programs and workshops, which largely benefit researchers in North America, Europe and the Asia–Pacific region. Here, we chronicle the strategies adopted and challenges encountered in organizing Imaging Africa, an all-expenses-paid, continent-wide practical workshop in optical microscopy hosted in South Africa from 13 to 17 January 2020. Our experience can help steer other groups who similarly seek to organize impactful and sustainable training initiatives in Africa.
