Celebrating OWSD's 2023 PhD Graduates
Fourteen women scientists from 11 countries in the developing world have graduated with their doctorates.
Every year, we celebrate those OWSD PhD fellows who have recently graduated with their PhDs. These women scientists have overcome many obstacles to reach where they are today, including, for most of them, the COVID-19 pandemic that landed in the middle of their fellowships. Now, PhDs in hand, they are ready to embark on the next phase of their careers. From an agronomist studying ancestral forest species in Benin, to a physicist from Syria developing ultrasensitive sensors to diagnose dopamine deficiencies, to a pharmacologist researching differences in susceptibility and treatment response in patients with cervical cancer in Zimbabwe, they are already making big changes to a world that needs their vision, their ideas and their talent.
We congratulate the new Drs., and wish them luck with what comes next!
