On invitation of UNESCO, our co-founder Aria Samimi has been together with prof Wim van der Poel (Wageningen Bioveterinary Research, Wageningen University & Research, InsectSense’s Advisory Board) to Nairobi [Kenya], to explore areas of common interest for partnerships in research & business development and to define a pilot for using our #BeeSense for training bees to detect COVID19. Next to that we have been exploring possibilities of detection of various other diseases in human, animal and plants at an early stage.

We are grateful having met so many interesting and dedicated persons!
