In this week's episode, I chat with PhD student in chemistry, Sandile Mtetwa. She shares how she got into research, what lead to her decision to pursue graduate studies abroad, and what she is working on in her PhD. We also talk about the organizations she has helped create: Simuka-Arise which is a Zimbabwe-based organization that advocates for young women's empowerment academically, economically and socially, as well as Africans in STEM which highlights scientific contributions by Africans in STEM fields and provides avenues to connect, share ideas and collaborate
Africans in STEM is hosting a hybrid symposium on April 26th. Register here!
Sandile is from Zimbabwe. She completed a BSc in chemistry at the University of Zimbabwe. She then went on to complete an MPhil in chemistry and is currently a PhD in chemistry both at the University of Cambridge in the UK. Connect with her on LinkedIn.
