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

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

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.

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.

In the challenging socio-economic context of developing countries, knowledge should serve to solve the varied problems faced by our societies.

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

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.

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.

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

" 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.”

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 fellowship represents a real empowering difference in my life and career

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

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.

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.

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