🚨 New Episode Alert 🚨
African researchers are taking full ownership of how their data and discoveries reach the community. And yet, they still face massive structural bottlenecks, funding cuts and Western-centric publishing models that overlook critical, context-driven local research.

So who is actively disrupting this landscape?

In our latest episode, we sit down with the leadership of Review and Curate Network (RCN) Roseline Dzekem Dine, Sh*tondo Yahila, and Tolulope Ogunniyi who are at the forefront of building community-driven review and curation systems for African scholarship. The team breaks down how RCN has evolved into a pan-African movement operating as a "quiet protest" against traditional publishing bottlenecks, transforming open science into an open invitation for early-career researchers.
