Vivian Boamah

In this episode, we speak to Vivian Etsipia Boamah, a Senior Lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Kumasi (KNUST) and fellow of the L’Oreal UNESCO for Women in Sub Saharan Africa. Her areas of research are focused on antimicrobial resistance surveillance, mechanism of microbial resistance, and transfer of resistant genes from the environment/animals to humans. Vivian speaks out about the role of education and encouraging young children to be interested in the sciences, especially in countries where non traditional roles for women are against cultural norms.
