In this episode Ruth Mwangi is interviewed by the editor Aline Afanoukoé.
 
Ruth Mwangi is a doctoral student in Agricultural Sciences, specializing in agricultural and food bio­technology. She is studying the potential of endophytic (a class of endosymbiotic microbes with many practical applications) and botanical extracts in the management of post-harvest losses in tomatoes. She dreams of producing building panels using mushrooms as polystyrene foam. This simple technol­ogy would allow us to make affordable, sustainable, environmentally friendly and recyclable building materials from agricultural waste. Ruth believes that educating women in science will promote the continent’s economic development and eradicate poverty.

Dans cet épisode Olyvia Gwladys Fadeyi, est au micro de la chroniqueuse Aline Afanoukoé.

Originaire du Bénin, Olyvia Gwladys Fadeyi est doctorante en monitoring et conservation de la biodiversité, spécialisée en mycologie tropicale. Ses recherches portent sur la promotion de l’autonomisation des femmes en milieu rural à travers la valorisation de champignons comestibles. Souvent découragée par le peu de soutien financier et l’insuffisant soutien mutuel entre la gente féminine et masculine en science, elle est convaincue qu’un meilleur équilibre entre les sexes permettrait de tirer le meilleur de chaque talent. «Les deux sexes ont leurs propres dons extraordinaires, uniques et spécifiques, ils devraient être valorisés de manière égale».

Elle est l’une des 20 chercheuses africaines récompensées pour l’excellence de leurs travaux scientifiques dans le cadre du Programme Jeunes Talents Afrique subsaharienne L’Oréal-UNESCO Pour les Femmes et la Science.

In this episode Winifred Ayinpogbilla Atiah is interviewed by the editor Aline Afanoukoé.
 
Winifred Ayinpogbilla Atiah, originally from Ghana, is a postdoctoral fellow in earth and environmental sciences, specializing in meteorology and atmospheric sciences. Her study focuses on ‘seasonal flood forecasting in Ghana using a new climate indicator approach’. Flooding has a negative impact on rain-fed agriculture in Ghana. Floods drown crops, which eventually die, resulting in significant crop losses. To address this, Winifred Ayinpogbilla Atiah is developing a model that will allow an early forecasting of natural disasters such as floods.

In this episode Mawulolo Yomo is interviewed by the editor Aline Afanoukoé.

Mawulolo Yomo is a Togolese Ph.D. student in earth and related environmental sciences. She studies the dynamics of seawater intrusion in the coastal sedimentary basin of Togo in the context of climate change, land use and land cover, with reference to the multilayer aquifer of the Agoènyivé plateau. To spark an interest in science among young girls, she believes that it is important to promote the achievements of senior researchers, and provide opportunities for science competitions, scholarships mentorship.
