Scibraai Monday Menu: About fussy eaters, schooling and African horse sickness

by AdminBraaiMarch 14, 2016October 3, 2017

Do you have a fussy eater in the family? Want to know more about why some teachers never move to different parts of the country, and how it could influence the quality of schooling in South Africa? Or about how the movement of horses in Namibia and South Africa might in fact be causing African horse sickness to spread to more areas?

Then read the following papers. The one on fussy eaters is by Zeenat Ebrahim of the University of Pretoria, and the one on schooling by Martin Gustafsson of Stellenbosch University. Danica Liebenberg, Stuart Piketh and Huib van Hamburg of North-West University studied African horse sickness.

SciBraai, a proudly South African NPO dedicated to science journalism, communication and outreach. SciBraai began on Heritage Day 2013 - Anina Mumm and Engela Duvenage in 2013 launched the website, scibraai.co.za, to feature stories about South African research, technology and innovation, and the people behind the discoveries. This blog welcomes all South Africans to go behind the scenes of local science and exploration endeavors. It’s a place to share stories about the scientists themselves and the interesting, little-known activities that are often left out of research journals. A place to learn more about the stuff that makes South African science and its people tick. A place to feel inspired about what South Africans are discovering on home soil and abroad. Because local is lekker, no matter what language you use. SciBraai's following has grown in the past years, and we are now on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We've also begun organising real-life braai's where we share round-the-fire stories about South African science and scientists.
