Something to Read on your Coffee Break

In my last entry I mentioned a group called "Ushahidi" ( meaning testimony in Swahili). I've been working with them to impliment their great idea on the ground in Kibera. A local newspaper picked up the story and there's even a little cameo appearance by me on the second page :)

Check it out! http://www.nation.co.ke/News/-/1056/480528/-/item/1/-/lsupwr/-/index.html

Also, my friends who are conducting research at Mpala ranch (the one I visited near Mt. Kenya) have gone live with their ecology blog on the Huffington Post website (this week's topic, Biodiversity). The article is quick and fun to read and a great start for anyone interested, even on a basic level, in the significance of environment and politics. Please take a moment to check it out. Even if you're not totally into the sciences I highly recommend it!
