The unprecedented availability of increasingly complex, voluminous, and multi-dimensional data as well as the emergence of data science as an evolving field provide ideal opportunities to address the multi-faceted public health challenges faced by low and middle income countries (LMIC), especially those in sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is a severe lack of well-trained data scientists and home-grown educational programs to enable context-specific training. The lack of human capacity and resources for public health data analysis as well as the dire need to use modern technology for better understanding and possible intervention cannot be dealt with currently available educational programs and computing infrastructure, demanding a great deal of collaboration and investments within Africa and with the Global North This paper describes processes undertaken to establish sustainable research training programs and to train a new generation of data scientists with knowledge, mentoring, professional skills, and research immersion.

Regional and global environmental challenges have become increasingly complex and require broader solutions than a single discipline can provide. Although there is a growing need for interdisciplinary research, many graduate education programs still train students within the confines of a particular discipline or specialty. The Ridge 2 Reef research traineeship program at the University of California, Irvine, aimed to provide transferable and interdisciplinary skill training to prepare graduate students from different disciplines to address current and future environmental challenges.

Article Synopsis
- Robotic surgery has significant benefits for African healthcare, including shorter hospital stays and quicker returns to work, but its uptake is hindered by economic, infrastructural, systemic, and training-related barriers.
- Current use is mainly in Egypt and South Africa, with challenges like limited healthcare budgets, high initial costs, inadequate power and internet access, and a lack of surgeon training facilities in other countries.
- Recommendations for overcoming these barriers include public-private partnerships, remote training for surgeons, investment in infrastructure, and exploring AI-integrated systems to improve surgical precision and provide better training tools.
