Episode 6: All Theory No Practical?: The Academia in Nigeria Story with Prof. Taofikat Adesalu
<p>In this episode, I speak with Professor Taofikat Adesalu, a professor of Botany in Algal Ecology and Limnology at the University of Lagos. We spoke about her childhood desire to study medicine and her transition to Botany. It started as a change of course form but was solidified one afternoon after looking at water samples from the Niger Delta under a microscope as an undergraduate student. Our conversation highlights the infrastructure and funding gaps hindering academic research in Nigeria, the importance of public engagement in research and policy development, as well as the importance of professionals giving back to their society through volunteering and mentoring especially as a way to encourage young aspiring students, even more so those from low socio-economic backgrounds amongst many other features of the life of a Nigerian academic. </p><p>I hope you enjoy this episode with the first scientist I ever knew; my mother! </p><p>Connect with Prof. Taofikat Adesalu : </p><ul><li><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://ng.linkedin.com/in/taofikat-adesalu-ph-d-69215b11"><u>Taofikat Adesalu (Ph.D.) - Professor of Phycology, Algal Ecology and Biotechnology, Environmental Botany, Fulbright Scholar (Vice President</u></a> </p></li></ul><p>Media Recommendation: </p><ul><li><p>Book: Don’t be Sad by Dr. Aidh al-Qarni </p></li></ul><p>Sound effects from BBC Sound Effects and Pixabay</p><p><br></p>

Episode 5: Environmental Stewardship in Nigeria: The Greenfingers Wildlife Conservation Initiative Story with Chinedu Mogbo
<p>In this episode, I speak with Chinedu Mogbo, founder of Greenfingers Wildlife Conservation Initiative, about his journey from a childhood fascination with animals to establishing a wildlife sanctuary in Nigeria. We discuss the challenges he faced in transitioning to conservation, the current state of wildlife protection in Nigeria, and the importance of educating the younger generation about environmental stewardship. He highlights the critical roles that various species play in maintaining ecological balance and the urgent need for community engagement in conservation efforts. </p><p>We also talk about the work Greenfingers is doing from rescuing wildlife like sea turtles, pangolins and African grey parrots amongst others to enlightening school students and community members through intentional programming. We also discuss the gaps in academia, public policy, and public knowledge that are hindrances in efforts towards wildlife conservation. As humans we have a stewardship role in our society and the impact we have on the wildlife in our communities comes back to affect us one way or the other. We play an important role in conservation efforts.
