Art competition - Expressing Science through Art

I really want to do something for my country. Being part of the Sudan national chapter has given me that chance.

I have to think of something that can help us, that we can use based on resources that we have. The lack of things is the biggest inspiration in my life. I want to help my country.

I intend to disperse my achieved knowledge as one of the leading researchers in my country in the domain of microbial biotechnology, to support sustainable and prosperous agriculture.

Biomedicine represents the future of healthcare, aiming to intercept diseases before they arise and tailoring solutions to each individual's unique needs. It's not just about treating illnesses; it's about preventing them before they take root.

I wanted to show women that it was possible that when you do agricultural sciences, you can go on and do more for your career development.

I found my niche, and I have not looked back.

“Ten to fifteen years from now, people, not only in Kenya but in the African continent, will switch to magnetic refrigeration”

OWSD's guidance and support allowed me to uncover hidden courage and realize aspects of myself that I never thought I possessed.

The fellowship has really impacted my career. I was working in a university as an Assistant Lecturer, but with the OWSD fellowship I am undertaking a PhD that will allow me to reach the grade of Senior Lecturer.

What fascinated me is that only 5% of microorganisms are harmful, and the rest are beneficiary.

Winning this award opened many doors for me. It has led to success in acquiring local funding.

In today’s scientific environment, in which most PhD scientists concentrate on a single specific discipline, I might shift toward a more systemic view to approach the challenge in infectious diseases.

When you are following your passion, people will always see what you are doing. People will see that you are doing something different, and they will help you.

My dear girls in science: be strong, inquisitive, curious, assertive, resilient, and focused. Go for gold!

By creating links between food research and industry, she hopes to enhance food security both in Ghana and in Africa as a whole.

What has surprised me is the way technology is emerging and affecting the current state of research. We are encountering a fourth industrial revolution that entails advances in computing power, quantum computing and artificial intelligence, which has already been shown to alter the way we conduct research.

When I am seeing an impact, that’s what makes me as a scientist feel an achievement
