The show is on

The presentations have been made this morning. Seven students coming from Nigeria are already here; one is still on his way. Four more have joined us from Tanzania, and we have another eight students from our KIU Western Campus. Dr. Ponchang Wuyep has come back from Nigeria to teach this course together with Dr. Marta Vicente Crespo. We will also have the opportunity to interact with Dr. Stella Carlomagno, a pioneer Molecular Microbiologist that has come from Italy to participate in the conference of medical students that is taking place in Ishaka.

The faculty have introduced the course giving a general picture of what we will be doing in the next two weeks. We are going to be working together for many hours from now on, and we hope we will become some kind of a family. The regular schedule will be from 9am to 12pm and 3pm to 6pm, unless the protocols call on us to change it. We are learning research techniques here, and research always asks for flexibility when planing our day.

We will resume at 3pm for an introductory lecture of Dr. Wuyep (Ponch) in the Postgraduate lecture room.

Let's keep up the enthusiasm!
