Dr Muhindo Daniel !!! My joy is difficult to contain. My family & friends would tell you, I've got my second PhD today! But in reality, I'm even happier than that. I'm actually double proud, since DAN is super smart and super humble. You're the best, bro! Well DONE, DAN !!!

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese once again nails it: •It is not a ‘war’, there are not two armies; •This is a settler, colonial occupation; •It is a genocide and needs to end now. Stop arming Israel 🇮🇱 today Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸 before it’s too late.

Thx to The Copperbelt University🇿🇲 for inviting me on jury duty. Congs to the now Dr Kennedy Ouma. I learned so much from his PhD on the Zambian side of the Copperbelt. In this moment of deep grief for my home🇨🇩, it was a reminder of my(our) responsibility to shed light on health problems as well.

Très content d'avoir enseigné avec Franck Zahinda dans 2 classes de Master à KULeuven. Le cours était construit depuis son doctorat sur les matériaux de construction. Content pour ses étudiants à UCB qui auront des cours et TPs à jour et construits sur les problèmes de Bkv!

Friendship& collaboration, from China🇨🇳 to Chile🇨🇱 and now Denmark🇩🇰. Trying to understand how lithium& cobalt are managed globally. From industrial& artisanal mining, to battery& EV manufacturing, and then to formal & informal recycling. All good, except swimming in cold water🥶
