Not a single African leader has a science advisor --> RT @calestous: Engineering "key to Africa's development" http://bit.ly/10Hh5RR
@wmguyster @chiume The director of #COSTECH is an alumnus of the program as well. I am here at his invitation.

@calestous@chiume Please let Dr. Mashinda know you don't consider him/COSTTECH proper advisory. ;-) I look fwd to seeing him in August. -
@calestous@chiume Does COSTECH not see itself as the NSF equivalent in Tz? That's what I was told. Also, US "pres advisors" are cronies. -
@calestous@chiume Saying African leaders have no science advisors plays to G8/AID; harms Africa for private enterprise and FDI. Good luck. -
@wmguyster@chiume Illogical to say Africa can't seek to improve its innovation system otherwise it will lose private enterprise and FDI. -
@calestous@chiume Ask@bill_easterly or@dambisamoyo More donor aid=less private sector invest. Africa doesn't always need to follow West. -
@wmguyster@chiume@bill_easterly@dambisamoyo This is your argument, not mine. I work on innovation systems, not aid.
