OWSD Sri Lanka - Webinar on Gaps, Challenges and Way Forward in Research with The New Norms

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

All this has broadened my knowledge for this domain of science, gave me an open mind and also allowed me to learn many things.

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

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

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

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.
