An African Einstein
Physicist Neil Turok speaks out for talented young Africans starved of opportunity: by unlocking and nurturing the continent's creative potential, we can create a change in Africa's future.
To realize this, Neil Turok has founded AIMS, a highly recognized University (specialized in science) in the heart of Africa. And he won't stop until every country in Africa gets its own AIMS. Because science is the key and basis for economical growth.
