Just give me the seed and I will continue.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

“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."

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.

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

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

If we do research, in addition to establishing connections with other researchers, we must also communicate and do a lot of outreach in order to share our science with the community.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
