Podcast Episode 95  Assoc. Prof. Meru Sheel

The seeds of an astonishing career were sown in India where, as a child, Meru Sheel witnessed first-hand the devastation of diseases such as polio and tuberculosis. 

As an infectious disease epidemiologist, she has been on the ground helping in some of the most unimaginable places. Fiji after a cyclone had flattened large parts of the country and disease inevitably followed, Samoa when an elephantiasis outbreak occurred, Bangladesh when over 700,000 Rohingya refugees in a camp felt the wrath of a diphtheria outbreak.  And then Covid 19. 

She’s a big advocate for women in leadership roles  and in STEMM related areas. 

Associate Professor Meru Sheel is making a difference. Her work, courage, tenacity, in the face of overwhelming odds, is inspiring.
