Maybe this is why there is this huge hostility ramp up from the USA and embassy in South Africa in the last few days... I guess the hostility from the USA will get worse in 2026 too. Can the USA and their Amerikaner refugees just eff off...

I was planning to do the first 150 educators I find, but then I also filtered to prioritize women and non-white/north people when I found them.

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.
