Conmemoración 11 de febrero Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia,

Due to the war in Yemen, I had stopped studying for two years. This opportunity gave me the chance to complete my postgraduate studies.

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

We’re waiting to get new opportunities for our future…We stay in our country, we try our best.

There is no reproduction without science. There is no electricity without science. There is no water without science…Life is science, science is life.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Just give me the seed and I will continue.

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.

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

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”

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.

" I can boldly declare that OWSD rewarded my brilliance thus giving me recognition and confidence in my professional arena and placed me in national and international scientific communities.”

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.

OWSD fellowship represents a real empowering difference in my life and career

The OWSD award helped me not only to become the researcher I am today, but also to become a leader in research.
