My journey into science: Personal narratives from five young African women
Facebook
Africa needs more role models in science. New African magazine spoke to five young female scientists to find out what inspired them and how their careers are progressing.
As part of our series on education, we spoke to five young female scientists from across the continent about their journey into science and the work that they’re conducting. All are L’Oréal–UNESCO Women in Science 2020 laureates.
Only 2.4% of the world’s researchers are African, 31% of whom are women.
The L’Oréal-UNESCO Women in Science Sub-Saharan Africa Programme, launched in 2010, rewards 20 women scientists each year for the excellence of their work, supporting them to pursue their research through grants of €10,000 for PhD students and €15,000 for post-doctorates.
