Episode 64: What is Chemistry to you? - Discussions with Sandile Mtetwa

Cynthia Okoye

This week we talk to Cynthia Okoye and Sandile Mtetwa, PhD students at the University of Cambridge. Sandile and Cynthia are two of the founders of Africans in STEM, a student-run initiative that provides a platform and a community for Africans across STEM disciplines to network, collaborate and share ideas - both locally and globally. Recently, to mark Black History Month, the initiative has held an exhibition online and in departments at the University of Cambridge showcasing Black scientists from around the world, as well as a panel discussion spotlighting Black female scientist in Cambridge. In this episode, we learn about Sandile and Cynthia's research, how Africans in STEM was founded, the impact that their activism has had so far, and their hopes and goals for the future. You can learn more about Africans in STEM here: https://www.africansinstem.co.uk/ You can also view the Africans in STEM exhibition here: https://www.africansinstem.co.uk/bhm-exhibition.html You can find Africans in STEM on Twitter at @africansinstem The BlueSci Podcast is run by the Cambridge University Science Magazine, currently hosted by Ruby Coates and Simone Eizagirre and sponsored by Greiner Bio-One and Nature Careers.
