Celebrating OWSD's 2024 PhD Graduates
Fourteen women scientists from 10 countries in the developing world have graduated with their doctorates.
Every year, we celebrate those OWSD PhD fellows who have recently graduated with their PhDs and are ready to embark on the next phase of their careers. These women leave their home countries to carry out either a full-time PhD programme or research visits at institutes abroad, often leaving behind family, friends, and jobs to pursue their passions. From an entomologist characterizing leishmaniasis-carrying sandflies in Sudan, to a food scientist from Ethiopia working to improve the stability of sesame oil, to an earth scientist studying the environmental impact of gold mining in Cameroon, they are already making big changes to a world that needs their vision, their ideas and their talent.
We congratulate the new Drs., and wish them luck with what comes next!
