Carrier Development of a Woman Scientist

I would like to share my own experience with you as a women plant biotechnologist from Turkey. At the very beginning of my education, in high school, I was highly motivated student and fascinated with the idea of being in the laboratory and doing experiments. This was recognized by my biology teacher who is a woman and inspired me to be a researcher. After high school, I went to university. I graduated from Istanbul University, Department of Biology and I then went on to earn my Master Degree on plant biotechnology at the Molecular Biology Unit of the Biology Department.

Genetically Modified Crops: Playing a Positive Role in Sustainable Development in Africa

Genetically modified plants are one of the most effective ways of conquering hunger, but the practice is seen by some, especially in Europe, as risky "tampering" with nature. Professor Jennifer A. Thomson, an internationally recognized expert in the field, reports that no food crops have ever been tested as rigorously as genetically modified crops, and she argues that higher-yield plants resistant to drought, disease and insects are vital to feeding Africa's growing population. Professor Thomson is on the faculty of the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.
