The Root Of The Science PodcastAuthor: Anne Chisa
The podcast airs biweekly on Mondays and is hosted by Anne Chisa, also known as Anne with an E. The show revolves around interviews with individuals involved in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) from across the globe, all united by the hashtag #AfricansInSTEM. The guests have the opportunity to share their personal stories, highlighting the "ROOT" of their science and engaging in profound conversations beyond the scientific realm. The goal is to create a premier global platform for Africans in STEM, highlighting their invaluable contributions and showcasing and humanizing their experiences. Through these conversations, we challenge stereotypes about the appearance of scientists, promote the richness of diversity within STEM fields, educate the world, and most importantly, inspire the generations to be motivated to get into science. *Disclaimer: The views expressed by the guests in the podcast episodes do not reflect my own* Language: en-za Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |

EP 170: The Stories That Moved Us: Root of Science in 2026
Episode 170
Sunday, 1 March, 2026
Send a textStories that move people deserve a wider audience. We open 2026 by bringing the team together to look back at the moments that stayed with us, the ideas that challenged us, and how we plan to grow African science stories this year.From neglected tropical diseases to health funding cuts, we unpack why some conversations travelled further than others: real people, real consequences, and science that connects with everyday life.Health shaped much of the year. We balance that weight with lessons from agriculture and food security: beekeeping for stronger ecosystems, turning invasive plants into renewable energy, and moringa farmers building value chains that support families.Education and collaboration point us forward. A STEM programme for high school girls stood out for its confidence and creativity, showing that the future of African science is already in our classrooms.If these stories matter to you, follow the show, share this episode with someone who should hear it, and leave a review to help others find us.What topic should we feature next?Support the showFollow the show on:Twitter: @RootofscipodInstagram: @Rootofscipod YouTube: The Root Of The Science PodcastFacebook: The Root of The Science Podcast LinkedIn: The Root Of The Science PodcastWebsite
