About us

All Science Africa brings you news about science, research and innovation from across Africa, with a special focus on Ghana.

We started in 2017 to share stories about the discoveries, inventions and ideas coming out of African laboratories, universities, farms and communities: the kind of news that rarely makes the front page. After a break, we’re back with a new home and a fresh look.

What we cover

  • Health: medicine, disease control and public health
  • Environment: climate, water, forests, mining and conservation
  • Agriculture: farming, food and the science behind them
  • Innovation: new inventions, technology and the institutions behind them
  • Research spotlight: new studies by African scientists, explained in plain language
  • Education: scholarships, books and opportunities for students

Our promise to readers

We aim to publish two to three stories every week. We always credit our sources and link to the original research or report, so you can read more. When we summarise another outlet’s reporting, we say so and link to it.

Share your science
