I hear that AfroBiotech might be headed to New Orleans in 2027 👀. And maybe at a certain university with a legendary history of educating Black scientists and health professionals 👀 👀.
Nothing official yet, but we’re talking. #AfroBiotech2027

What up good people? This is the official Bluesky home of AfroBiotech, spun out of the ABT conference series founded by @drkhaynes. We read the papers and the room. We call out bad biotech design and $$$ gatekeepers. We give props to scientists doing it right. We keep it real over here.
