2015-06-22 01:55Melissa's engagement work goes beyond Facebook and Twitter. She was brilliant on the inaugural African I'm a Scientist, Get me out of here (http://health14.imascientist.or.ke/profile/melissakapulu/). It is an online project that ran in Kilifi, Kenya last year. She answered dozens and dozens of questions on health and malaria from secondary schools children across the county. She tackled them all with honesty, wit and clear concise communication.
