OWSD PNC: First National Conference on "Modern Trends in Science and Technology: Contribution of Pakistani Women"

My position is that we should acknowledge what we are lacking of, so that we can keep working.

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

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

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.

You must first be safe to be able to think about the environment.

" 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 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.

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.

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

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 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.

Just give me the seed and I will continue.

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

Dr. Shammi's research will help to fill a crucial gap in the the global understanding of carbon dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions by providing data on one of the world’s largest river systems.

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

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

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 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.
