Dear ICTP colleagues,

OWSD invites you to join us for the second of our 'Science Snack Break' short film screenings this afternoon, Wednesday 21 February, at 15:00.

Today's film features Ugandan geneticist Daphne Bitalo, who is pioneering a new approach to cocoa processing in Uganda, to put more of the benefits of the chocolate industry back in the hands of cocoa farmers themselves.

Registration for the event is available at: bit.ly/ScienceSnackBreak2

As a reminder, OWSD is celebrating women in science from February 11, International Day of Women and Girls in Science, through March 8, International Women's Day,  with a series of four short online film screenings. The 'Science Snack Break' series is designed to provide a dose of entertainment and inspiration in a quick format that almost anyone can squeeze into their day. Each of the four films, which were produced under the OWSD Visions project, is between 5-6 minutes long and will be followed by a brief Q&A with the film's director and protagonist and with filmmaker Nicole Leghissa, who conceived and oversees OWSD Visions (you can find all of the previous OWSD Visions films here). 

We invite you to grab a snack or a coffee and join us for the film!
