Women make up 70 per cent of Zimbabwe's agricultural labour but have little influence over farmlands and resources. Recent research shows that women farmers are uniting to challenge traditional norms and are gaining influence and respect while promoting sustainable agriculture. When men leave Zimbabwe's rural areas for work in cities and abroad, women farmers establish agricultural leadership comm

Over millions of years retroviruses have been incorporated into our human DNA, where they today make up almost 10 per cent of the total genome. A research group at Lund University in Sweden has now discovered a mechanism through which these retroviruses may have an impact on gene expression. This means that they may have played a significant role in the development of the human brain as well as in
