OWSD Zimbabwe National Chapter Presents a Third Scientific Talk via WhatsApp on Presentation Skills

I desire to see my country, Nigeria, become a leading destination for impactful clinical studies.

When I got my OWSD fellowship, it was an amazing feeling. Before getting the letter, my academic career was a dream, the letter made it possible.

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.

Just give me the seed and I will continue.

OWSD has provided tremendous support in shaping my career as a researcher, science ambassador, role model for women scientists and a "think high" human being.

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

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

I owe ‘what’, ‘who’ and ‘where’ I am in my career and professional practice today to OWSD because without the PHD Fellowship, all my achievements today would have been nothing but bleak.

I wanted to do applied physics, not theoretical physics… I really wanted to use all of the knowledge that I acquired at university to explain our environment.

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.

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

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.

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

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

All this has broadened my knowledge for this domain of science, gave me an open mind and also allowed me to learn many things.

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