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

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

" 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.”

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 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.

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.

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

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 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.

The fellowship has really impacted my career. I was working in a university as an Assistant Lecturer, but with the OWSD fellowship I am undertaking a PhD that will allow me to reach the grade of Senior Lecturer.

Winning this award opened many doors for me. It has led to success in acquiring local funding.

I’ve been working on reptile and amphibian biodiversity for 10 years, and I know that there are still new species that need to be described.

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

When I got my OWSD fellowship, it was an amazing feeling. Before getting the letter, my academic career was a dream, the letter made it possible.

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.

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 show women that it was possible that when you do agricultural sciences, you can go on and do more for your career development.
