We are a global community of researchers, students, and practitioners rooted in Africa and open to the world. We read papers out loud, unpack experimental methods together, and publish what we find in the open.
Three things, run by the people in them.
Nothing here is a lecture to attend. Each of the three is something a member runs, and a member can change.
Journal Club
One paper at a time, chosen by the members and walked through end to end. A presenter shares the method and where they got stuck, and the room unpacks the science together.
See the scheduleInternational Research Town Halls
Guest researchers and practitioners from across the globe sharing breakthrough discoveries, novel methods, and career lessons, with live interactive Q&A.
Explore upcoming talksCommunity Research Notes
Members publish research notes on their ongoing investigations, experiments, and literature dissections under transparent peer review.

The next speaker has not been announced.
Past Town Halls stay on the page with their recordings and transcripts, and members get the announcement first.
Open Town HallsOnce two or three evenings are in the diary they are listed here, so the page says what the next few weeks look like rather than only what tomorrow looks like.
“Tools are the easy part. What takes years is knowing which number to distrust , and that is learned by having somebody watch you look at the wrong one.”
Founder, AiSynth Labs
One paper at a time
Papers chosen by the members, walked through end to end. Not just the abstract: the method, the key figures, and the honest limitations.
Notes on your own work
Publish a research note on something you are actually doing. An admin reads it before it goes out, so it has had a second pair of eyes.
Africa, and open
Built in Lagos for a pan-African intake, with a schedule that works from Accra to Zurich and archived recordings for community members.
Bring your curiosity to the collective.
Membership is 100% free and reviewed by a team, not an algorithm. Tell us about your background and what you want to explore. Acceptance opens live Journal Club sessions, member session recordings, research note publishing, and our private Discord community.
