ABIDJAN, Côte d'Ivoire, July 15, 2021-Climate change research seldom focuses on plant pathology. An agronomy enthusiast with a keen interest in this topic in particular, Howélé Michaëlle Toure wanted to change that.
'My determination, my perseverance, and that feeling of a job well done were my main motivators,' she says. 'But I would not have gotten to where I am without my family's belief in me, especially my father, who always told me that he wanted to see me rise to the top, and my research director who was also a role model, a mentor, and a second father to me.'
