Control of pollution by genetically engineered microorganismsSamar Biswas
Pollution refers to the presence of a substance or substances in the environment that are harmful or toxic. The substances or pollutants may be harmful to human health, other animals, and plants. When something harmful enters the environment at a faster rate that it can be dispersed, there is pollution.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 25-27 February 2013
2. Outline
1. Why Communicate?
2. The “what” of science communications
3. Preparing for effective Science
communications
4. Some experiences and lessons learnt in science
communications in Africa
3. Reading from the same script…but
reading different messages
Communication training rationale..
3
4. Why Science Communication?
It is the key to acceptance and adoption of technological
and scientific innovations
It helps scientists to give their work meaning in the eyes
of their stakeholders – policy makers, taxpayers, industry, consumers etc
Science Communication is about putting
science into use by helping the public to
understand research results and make
informed science-based decisions. It is
NOT about selling the products of science
7. Challenges of Science Communication
• Lack of communication skills among researchers
• The inability to simplify technical research findings
• Scientists’ attitudes and mindsets – most still
operate from the “ivory tower”
• Lack of identification of appropriate platforms from
which to communicate
• Lack of knowledge on how to target appropriate
audiences with tailored messages
11. Key components in effective
science communications
• Trusted and Credible communicators
• Content - Credible information sources
• Communication Tools – Multi-media
- Messenger
- Message
- Means
12. Understand your stakeholders
Stakeholder analysis and net-mapping ISAAA

13. Develop a Communication Strategy
WHO?
WHAT Select the best
? timing for your
Policy maker, target audience
journalist, seed WHY?
The key
trader, farmer
messages you

want to Your
communicate communication
goal
Which is the
best
communication Consider options
product to pass WHERE? for best place to
HOW? deliver message i.e.
the message
e.g. brochure, workshop, public
policy brief, hearings or during
issue brief, field visit?
mass media etc
15. Your message determines your results
(importance of message mapping)
• A message map is a visual aid for packaging and
presenting information in a compelling format that
facilitates quick understanding.
• It ensures:-
– Consistency in messaging by project
– Allows projects to anticipate,prepare and organize answers
to questions by stakeholders
• A message map conveys 3 key messages from the
project supported by 3 facts
Note: Always remember the power of numbers!
16. Message Map
Area of Concern
Loss of trading partner e.g. EU
GMOs
Key Message 1 Key Message 2 Key Message 3
SF1 SF1 SF1
SF2 SF2 SF2
SF3 SF3 SF3
Message map is a tool for presenting facts and figures on a
controversial subject in a format that facilitates comprehension
18. Simplify language – keep it brief
Technical jargon Layman’s language
Recombinant DNA Plant improvement

20. Build Capacity in Science

Journalists - Radio
*Local administration
21. Where do majority policymakers get
information on bio-innovations?
Ranked in importance (in East Africa)
1. Mass media – electronic & print (radio highly effective)
2. Special interest groups – NGOs, industry
3. Special media – brochures, newsletters
4. Experts?
5. Websites?
6. Social media – blogs, faceboook, twitter etc..
Yet experts from public institutions most trusted and
Internet and social media rated highly in shaping perceptions!
22. Effective Mass Media Relations
• Requires a good understanding of the
various mass media and how they operate
Issues to note include:
23. Communicating R&D along product
development and utilisation pathways
For each phase:
Different stakeholders Farmer
release, post
Different messages & market
surveillance
messengers
Different means of Extensive risk
communication assessment
Field testing
Greenhouse
Phased
approach
Laboratory
Source: ISAAA collections, PBS docs
25. 1. Media-Scientists Linkages
•Training in:
Science communication
Media relations and
Issue management
Lesson 1: Build capacity and invest in good relations with
credible journalists for increased and balanced reporting
26. 2. Scientific live shows
Lesson 2: Demystify your research by exposing
stakeholders to scientific processes & products
27. 3. Study tours - traveling wkshops
Members of
Parliament,
Journalists,
Farmer
leaders,
Stakeholders visit Bt cotton regulators
Confined Field Trials in Kenya visit
biotech
facilities in
the country
and
countries
with
commercial
Farmer-to-farmer crops
visits to S. Africa, Burkina
Lesson 3: Invest in seeing-is-believing study tours to enhance
appreciation of research efforts & confidence with local expertise
28. 4. Policy makers and scientists interactive
sessions e.g Parliamentary committees
Lesson 4: Politicians are very strong opinion shapers. For confidence,
policy influence, scientists & parliamentarians must engage!
29. 5. Regular (monthly) stakeholder dialogue
E.g: Open Forum on Agricultural Biotechnology – OFAB
2-hour session every last Thursday of the month: scientists,
specialists, policy makers and the media have a platform to
network and share knowledge
Lesson 5. Interpersonal communication very effective in building
trust and strengthening inter-institutional networking
30. 6. IEC Materials and Translations
Lesson 6: Improve stakeholders understanding of research processes
and trends with simple, localized IEC materials - consistency
31. Strategic Partnerships:
Science Communications Service Provider
BioAWARE; Public Universities; RECs
AATF
ABNE PBS
Bio-Innovate
Others?
32. Best Practice – planned communication
Being proactive than reactive ISAAA
APP model
Anticipate: List all possible issues on your research
Prepare: Messengers, Message, Means (3M)
Practice: Regularly engage relevant stakeholders
