Abstract

In May 2007, the month before the Heidelberg conference entitled “Geographies of Science,” there appeared two bits of news, little-read stories beneath the notice of the regular press, apart from a few local papers. The irrelevance of the articles owed partly to their subject matter—science and technology in Africa, which is rarely reported on to begin with—and partly to their highly conventional, repetitive message of failure and promise.
