Join today’s conversation with 3 of BWCB’s stellar African scientists: Winfred Gatua, MS(BWCB Regional Representative, Africa/Europe; Ph.D. Student at the University of Bristol, UK), Nadia Harerimana (Associate Computational Scientist, Ichan School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, NYC) and Ruth Nanjala, MS (Africa-Oxford, Kennedy, and Clarendon Scholar and Ph.D. Student). We discuss the opportunities and challenges of studying computational biology abroad as an African scientist and share tips and tricks for navigating this pathway for those looking to leave Africa to develop skills in computational biology.
