tv   The 77 Percent  Deutsche Welle  September 10, 2023 11:30am-12:00pm CEST

11:30 am
a gentleman with c, w plus or emphasizing the award winning offer is available worldwide. every language level, learning gem and has chosen to go hello and welcome to this adventure 7 percent. my name is edith to mind me and today i'm coming to you from a place of pool, lots of nairobi. on this episode, we want to find out what steps as dr. young applicants taking in the world of science. here's what we've got. really young researches from the punch in is to find out what it takes to become an actual science to find out why does it mean to children of suddenly crazy about physics and chemistry?
11:31 am
and we've got a few surprises in store for you. the now science plays an incredibly important tool in all of our lives, from innovation is ecology to understanding and studying the world around us. the question is, what do you choose a career in it? i for sure with nods. i was proficient in physics for about 2 minutes before i realized that it wasn't for me, but some of my other friends did it. that's what leslie, not unlike some young kind of research as who we met. they give us a glimpse into what it takes to build a korea in science. my name is laura, and i see today i am a buy it from much on here as a international institute of topical agriculture. i do have a background in medical by chemistry, but i major in scientific research across the board is growing up. i did
11:32 am
enjoy science subjects, my premiere school, i enjoyed science. i excelled at 5, but also enjoy watching uh, scientific programs on this t. v. like mindset and sense of stupid, i remember watching them and feeling like i want to understand this things the same way they pass on is explaining them. today laura works with big data at the international institute of tropical culture and kenya, the team is working on decoding the genetic makeup of plants. the ultimate goal is to create varieties which are resistant to devastating pests and diseases where a variety of things that from us would be looking for in a decide plant. so number one, of course it has to be assistant to the view, the one to grow up plants, but couldn't easily be attacked by disease as in many days. but also you want to have plants that can produce a lot of you with a state of food security. you want to have plants that, you know, can feed your family and you can still maybe sell time for extra chain. right now.
11:33 am
laura and her left team are working on the material disease banana sent the moon. this world that is widespread, new east africa. infected thomas can lose between 50 to a 100 percent of the for non the houses. 10 minutes late that genetic, makeup of phenomena plants which have been grow in a control environment. the prime cma has been tested to see the modification was successful. the hope is that the funds will be able to go to improve varieties in just a few years. while laura's familiar with the lab processes from a college days, a job now involves decoding the genetic data to fire and from metrics. so by into much of an interdisciplinary field between computer science, biology and statistics. so it presents relative opportunities for young people to tap into this field because nimble, i need some group, it's growing in the mind. a lot of biological research that's done with being kenya
11:34 am
and was in africa will at some point, she clarified for much of somebody uses together with some of her colleagues. laura is part of the buyer and for metrics hub of kenya, a network of young researches who want to build up the feel of bioinformatics in the country. so to reach out to undergraduate students. otherwise might not know much about the subject. in researching, trying to answer questions, but let you with questions and the fuck, let's each and every time you want to solve a big a puzzle, it's order is fussing at the end. so we find the chain is useful to visit the undergraduate students because probably they just get a few times to know about bank from optics maternity. don't know the application of to prove it. one more and more scientific research is coming out of africa. the opportunities for young researches make themselves a so far and few between. there aren't enough research institutions, and most of the funding still comes from abroad. it's unfortunate to say,
11:35 am
but i mean a is in college my, my friends of people who we studied and the muscle level is digital and has come back home, you know, and you know, giving back to the community. of course everyone wants to and is think about in the past, but again, we are using these really and bring out saying, yeah, the team hopes that one day they can build their own institution with students. and researchers learn and work for laura who is just at the beginning of the career a page. the info in symmetric is the logical next step. who knows what groundbreaking research and recognition for my flight ahead a so just a little sacked for you. did you know the just of a one percent of the such as world white. a based in africa. yeah, that's crazy. and that's according to your next school. so it would be great to see what paternity is that young research. i liked laura and her colleagues group. in the meantime we're about to get so i entered and of course i can be trusted to do
11:36 am
this myself. so i've been asked to, we have these goals, i actually don't know what we're about to do because i wanted to be an experience for all of us. so yeah, this is in say you're going to be the 1st. all right, so as i just get over the. yeah, this is luke, you money, everyone. can you tell us what's happening right now? good. i just look into you. you try to task. it's really cool. this is, this is what it would be like if you just looking for it and then just close up that. so what is this exactly? what is creating this?
11:37 am
so from times when, what air raises when, when, when what happens updates very close to the cloud. so once the for sale comes up as a free show and then close the pool and then give it precipitate to fall. now, no. okay, so this is part of what you do here. um actually tell us where we are and what you do. i owe you money. here's a science communicate public inducement from funding. indignation, global network, sol, misty, 5 sided him, which is financially and i think we'll be able to engage children across all of it . additional level talk even the necessary level. why am i really young? yeah, and also special level tools, but with young people. okay. so how does the students react when they see these?
11:38 am
i mean, i'm a grown up, i know what's going on. and yes, it's to fax. anything. yeah. so for kids, it must really do something in connecting them with science. and just as you reaction, because the children who just want to run up and just touching it and just want to even be inside the dispute. what is really happening? because what we had inside the bucket was liquid nitrogen, i think we mentioned 20. yes. and you can start at 197 degrees. well, so one, when i add a port, what are those really in the truck and then port. what happens now is that to the auction, which no, i'm just taking out the existence, you see the most recent o pokes of that all happen very quickly. so let's do that again. let's get you ready. i'm ready. it is to just yeah,
11:39 am
well this is beautiful. so what you can see here is like i talk to this this i feel like i'm in some place out of place. this is one of the most magical experience the do you know who that is? wow. yeah. so this is great, you know, the actually people who are already making clouds for of the supporting an aging cloud formation. it's called cloud cd. they use different chemicals than what we use here. but this is what it's all about. have you ever heard of cloud cd in terms of job countries like new jersey and molly, have use this technique to support cloud formation and increase the chance of rain for a for those people must know that the methodology code department does not make clouts. this is the pre real good shape of god, but we know the physical and chemical processes of cloud formation and green. so we
11:40 am
act on this process by improvement. it's with sensing chemicals, which we split into the cloud to cos, ring, or how can i, i can make the team is about to take off on board the small plane for the cloud seating mission. the plane is equipped with cartridges coming, chemical compounds such a sofa, sodium and acetone. this aircraft is capable of seating cloud, a low and high oh t. yeah, we have hydro. this material is used for seating at low altitude. it's either inside the storm or below. down here we have products, useful, high o 2 cubes for those we go above this dumb to inject them. well, cloud seating is supposed to help farmers feel different opinions on how effective it is and whether changing the weather could in fact be a bit more than us humans can handle. and so we're still here having fun and being
11:41 am
educated. and just to just struck me, but when i was in school, i really hated anything to do with science. why do you think it's so difficult for people like me to love the work that you do? i think it goes back to different interest fast. but then again, old school, one to come to me on the, the system as a whole. bunch of students never be engaged 4 times on tv because when i talk about edition, i that mm hm. how do you relate to that? what you would have to do with it, what does it do? so when we, when we, when you write the page on the phone, usually because occasions but when you actually come to interrupt to the, i think now you know, when it's fun. yeah. gauging you start shifting, know the mindset. so what are we about to do?
11:42 am
you talked about potassium, iodide, potassium, iodide and hydrogen hyper center and say, okay, what are they and what are we about to go about to me and this one elephants brush the fees. yes, so the reaction that the result is a big okay. so that's what we call an elephant elephant of 50 something you'd something big. yeah. so what's your time to show here today is how reactions dig please. so i have so please me. the green stuff is associate and what is this is food color, just products to be able to, to add more besides these. so for drama feed her most science with color reactions, blue and red. so we put this here,
11:43 am
this which is maybe the 2 box and size. again, i can tell you something that's used to catalyze rather fox us. the option here is up to date to either me, you kinda said you don't need to tell me twice. good, that's good. yeah. yeah. oh my goodness, it's all the way up to. oh it's very warm, it's one to vs. so if you look at things with comics the auction. mm. remember, i think we have shown is every option that keeps image rights that produces image. and that's how you can feel the world around. and so what do you use this for? is it just for the purposes of demonstrating something or does it have an a value you should notice to demonstrate that show you how get should yeah. just be able to
11:44 am
put it together. i also my next. yeah. have something called up to you for me. can just attach it to make a full head. yeah. get that idea. oh, the use is this is just uh, gimme a call that mix together to form. we just the instruction investing in front of the, the, the form that is usually applied in for interviews for installation. yes. so this is what this is. yeah. okay. i like that. you really just brookins on everything. it makes it accessible and to, to what you said, it is fun. so we keep planning, we keep learning, keep great and we keep having fun. yes. i thank you so much to ruth. i'm the entire team here at the funding invitation. pleasure. so speaking of how we can put science to good use, something that has everyone on edge at the moment is a i or a traditional intelligence. on the one hand, many of us already using ai to help us answer questions or even transfer me to
11:45 am
which is but on the other hand, we're also asking ourselves how much power should we really give this technology and couldn't be trusted? well, we wanted to find out how i can be used to make a positive impact. and we found some good in innovative who are doing just that. and it go the gold cup to the views the tell because she's come with money to the crop. the images, they capture a process to the machine, learning to, to check pests and diseases. so thomas can take steps. preventative krupps from suicide, stomach andrews, konica, and his team from the clara group are behind the technology. why did they get this? they knew exactly what is wrong, and if i'm not that they have to waste carts and try to figure out what is wrong with this and you kind of just deposition pinpoint exactly what this on the buyer think where that is disease with dice best that's just
11:46 am
a deformed and it can control each other call. it won't teaching hospital in the, in a cra as official. and the is also making it's to be here on a platform is helping health care. well, because the x ray images more effect, it's fixed. the diagnosis festa, what's in 5 is very much as many kids we are using. you guys with a shortage of health workers in many hospitals. the developers of the mental health platform once the a i to, to fill the gaps the only way we can actually catch up with the rest of the well to sleep frog. and this creates a platform for us, the products and what's other way to live pro, cuz then we've a public robots. this one's called cello and it's develop, ah, benjamin notate has programmed aids to be a personal assistant and for questions or even help you take your medication. at the right time, you can use cello to, you know,
11:47 am
access the elderly within the customer service environments. you can actually place opposition tell a bad to perform um, you know, guide people who come around this of america do you know, display of prices. this new technology is seen by many as a way to both hold on me and create new jobs and kind of wants to have a bite of that. but there are fees that the existing jobs could be as risk. generally, people should be willing to ask joe, and then the skilled himself menus goes then how to use the eyes. how would he, i hope to make your job easy, i need to stop leverage and do stuff. in the meantime, this developers keep pursuing new ideas and solutions they believe can change the fortunes for people in ghana and beyond i'm so what we're hearing more and more about whether use of a sticking us. perhaps you can tell us what you make of it. what do you use
11:48 am
a full if a tone and have you had any good or bad experiences with it? well, okay, we have one more innovative to me. he's a young man from uganda. and his actually designs a mini computer, which he claims as more affordable and practical than those of you. and i probably use, i know you want to see this. so let's have a look access to technology. if it is d h, that is something that still remains a privilege for those who can afford it. no co software engine. yeah, i have on pedagogy believes everyone should be able to assess computers. so he puts his money where his mouth is in 2017, designed and affordable. many computers, which it calls the fuse to stick. when you look at africa as a point and then we very much left behind my other nations and wilds in terms of technology. so what i see eventually ease, uh, which ends uh,
11:49 am
visit with the prospect too much people have about africa. but we cannot, you know, that we cannot mix things of our own. so a little making things of our own people will actually get more access to these things. the mini computers loops and fresh and similar to a memory stick except it's loaded with no model computer programs. simply plug it into any smart screen and hit press 2, you've got to solve a fully functioning computer. but it's because drop category would be, it's cost. the fuse to come in the cost around $70.00, making it about 5 times more affordable than conventional compute test. and you've done that dental students a month uh, same week. go to hunt when a test unit and has been using it ever since. i've assessed one at the standard and 50000 and it's been great ever since because i can do all my luck on
11:50 am
the on the t. v. d a print mary puts a write them down. i still on my formation. this one has my music as well. i can plug in my notes and, you know, listen to music once in a while, i will grab, as many computer uses, relatively little energy hills. this will bring down costs even further. our device is around 4 to 4 flights is quite slow. it's actually willis. then most and then you saving bones. so when you look at the body, know that we give to the end user already has difficulties in fading for the, the in a yellow kind of it is why it's more efficient to then be the user because a no more level using their own 65 what then a desktop set up with you as about
11:51 am
a 125. what's the flooring them sites like this is where most of the waste in composite alons, this includes e with like gold, discounted computers by compressing text of technology and to pocket size devices kind of go by wants to minimize his footprints on the environment. so with a smaller device means less my $200.00 less material. eventually, after the projects life cycle, when it comes to disposing of the product, you will have less weight in the last 2 years. chiral got, but has put, used to about 150 many computers having just received funding to produce smart devices, kind of go by hopes to scale these production and rich into the market. so from what we've just seen with roles, we know that learning science, even as
11:52 am
a child can actually be fun. especially if you loved discovering and experimenting . so after watching and studying abroad attempts on the inductor, wanted to provide the students with a place where they can discover the world of science outside the classroom. and she's really a whole center just for this. my name is ridiculous. edward medical doctor and the patient, the scientist of the co founder project, inspire and respite to be the 1st. disney land for science in africa was born in tons of new and better set. i'm actually, and we've had a very beautiful growing environment with my siblings when i finished my 1st degree in medicine. so i was thinking, i need to get out of this country and get more exposure apart from just seeing good things in tv and, but for scholarship, derek entry from empty to good, replaced in hopes of diversity. so i spent 5 years of my life
11:53 am
when they left the country to sweden, i was interested to see what life has to offer out there and had thoughts of staying. but before i left, i had already started project inspire. and then there's one thing that's really, really was driving me to come back and say, okay, i'm, i'm going outside to get as much as i can. so that when i come back on my views so that they can the, the question of the importance of science, technology, engineering, mathematics makes them in an african context, is that science technology engineering. math is the one that has progressed through money to sofa and africa as a continent has a lot of opportunities to caption leapfrog, to you know, success that other countries have been tons, an inborn, raised and educated, at least to my, my 1st degree in medicine and i've gone through public schools and neglect the
11:54 am
private school, so i have a good taste of both worlds. and being in it asked for, opened up my mind in terms of okay, it could be better. and then it became a personal mission to give his experience that i didn't get growing up and make a different situation for young people who need to have that. so give me some, a personal to, uh, one of the major things that i learned is i did not know much about myself in this experience of coming back a change of environment and working to hasn't really talked to me. likes about what i can, the in project inspire. we have 3 main major programs. one is for kids who are coming
11:55 am
up for 3 years to 14 years. the 2nd main project is to package these experiences that kids have in projects in science, kids. and the 3rd last project is about secondary school kids. and this is, would we put the caps every? yeah, let me throw them problems. it's a outbreak of quiet or how can you use science technology in math to solve that in the practical knowledge, to make sure that what in the mix, my advice to on the taskbar, i didn't have the confidence in us. we didn't have. there's a lot of room for growth and relevance in our content, and we are the only ones that link a couple church should, should do it. did you come back and grow this content? leap frog, you know, as well, that's all we have for you today. i hope you enjoy the show unless something new. i know i did as always feel free to tell us what you think you can find us on youtube, instagram, and don't forget to talk. we can't wait to hear from you as usual. thank you for
11:56 am
your company today. see you next time. go ahead any by, by the
