NEMATOLOGISTS IN ETHIOPIA, AND INDEED IN AFRICA; AND HER RESEARCH ON
ENSET, ETHIOPIA’S UNDERESTIMATED SAVIOUR CROP.
Q: Tell us about yourself. Where were you born and where did you grow up?
A: I was born in Saudi Arabia to Ethiopian immigrant parents. We moved to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, when Iwas nine years old.
Q. What inspired you into science in general, and specifically the nematology field of research?
A: In high school, I developed a strong passion for biology. I was especially interested in aspects like plant physiology and genetics. I obtained a BSc in Horticulture, in 2008, from Jimma University, Ethiopia. Plant pathology was a significant area of my undergraduate studies, and it was how I came across nematodes; microscopic worm-like animals that are present in every environment across the globe. I was fascinated by these tiny, yet important creatures, and I wanted to learn more about them. But there was little information on the topic. In 2010, I success

Developing countries are already disproportionately burdened by the impacts of climate change.
