Conferencia por el Día 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.

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

“Am very proud to say that I am encouraging other Cameroonian female scientists to apply for the OWSD fellowship programme and some of them have obtained the grant."

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

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

I want to be in the boardroom. I want to be part of the policy mechanism. I want my influence to go higher than the classroom.

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

" 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.”

Just give me the seed and I will continue.

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.

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

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

After my postdoc, I will return to Syria and work to achieve my big dream, which is to establish a research center.

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 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.

The main problem in radiotherapy is that most cancer cells are resistant to radiation.

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.

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.
