Development Dynamics with MaqC

Catherine narrates how she (and her husband) got fast tracked through her post doc by defining her area of research interests and finding a grant opportunity from Wellcome Trust Fellowship to pursue as an early career researcher

This is a tale of how Kyobutungi and her to be husband left Germany after finishing their PhD to join an Africa-based African-led research institution as a post-doc fellow.

At #DDwithMaqC™, leaders and practitioners in the development, global health, impact investing, human rights, social justice fields share their stories, journeys, inspirations, and aspirations in life and careers. The unscripted auto-biographical approach allows for deep reflections on lessons and issues. One conversation at a time, one story at a time, we amplify unsung voices and experiences, share solutions, and causes, provide examples and insights that explain and humanize development in a way that helps “us” and “others” to “get it” or “plug-in”, as relevant.
