The winners were selected by a panel of 19 judges from 157 finalists identified from more than 630 entries in this year’s PROSE Awards competition.
Benji expresses his sincere appreciation to colleagues at the Department of Fisheries and Watershed Management, especially Prof Steve Amisah who has been a great mentor. He thanks the Faculty of Renewable Natural Resources, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the entire KNUST for the support received since the start of the journal. “Colleagues in KNUST have served as editors at different times and still have one on the editorial board of Scientific African, many have been selfless reviewers and there are others who have published their excellent research with Scientific African. I believe it is through your support that this has been achieved and has brought honour to our university”, Benji Gyampoh said.
