1:30 pm
m val been 60 minutes on d. w. version know, understand. can have a think like the volume just presented. do you have any news on instagram? no. follow up the hello and welcome to the submitted 7 percent. my name is, edith came on me and today i'm coming to you from a police a fool. what says nairobi on this episode, we want to find out what steps of dr. young applicants are taking the world of science. here's what we've got really young researches from the punched and is to find out what it takes to become an actual sciences to find out why does that
1:31 pm
mean to children of suddenly crazy about physics and chemistry? 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 in technology, 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. 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,
1:32 pm
but i major in scientific research across the board is growing up. i did enjoy science subjects, my premiere school, i enjoyed science. i excelled at 5, but also enjoy watching uh, scientific programs on this to be like, mindset and sense of stupid. i remember watching them and feeling like i want you 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 audit culture and kenya, a 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 farmers would be looking for in a decide plant. so number one, of course it has to be a system to disease. the one to grow up plants but can 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,
1:33 pm
you know, can feed your family and you can still need the salt on full extra chain right now . laura and her left team are working on the material disease, banana since the moon this world that is widespread, new east africa, infected thomas can lose between 50 to a 100 percent of the phenomena, help us the minute to look at the genetic makeup of phenomena, plants which have been grow in a controlled environment. the prime cma has been tested to see if the modification was successful. the hope is that the funds will be able to go to improve invitees 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 too 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 list of biological research that's done with being
1:34 pm
kenya and within africa will at some point she qualified for much of so now uses together with some of her colleagues. laura is part of the buyer and for metrics have of kenya and network of young researches who want to build up the feel of bioinformatics in the country. so to reach out to undergraduate students. otherwise, my don't know my know about the subject to the research. i'm trying to answer questions about some of the questions and the fuck, let's each and every time you want to solve a big puzzle, it's orders the fussy, nothing. and so we find it seem as 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 to make themselves are still far and few between
1:35 pm
. there aren't enough research institutions, and most of the funding still comes from abroad. it's unfortunate to say, but i mean only is in college my, my friends of people who we studied, the muscles never refused the daughters 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're using this really and bring out thing. 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 a career, a page. the info into metrics is the logical next step. who knows what groundbreaking research and recognition 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
1:36 pm
what paternity is that young research. i like laura and have colleagues grew in the meantime, we're about to get so i entered and of course i can be trusted to do 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 it 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 ruth to money everyone. can you tell us what's happening right now? what did 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 repeat that. that's the close
1:37 pm
of that. so what is this exactly? what is creating this? so from tyler coffman's when what air raises when, when, when was at the end of operation hopkins updates. very cool. because of close everything. so once the feel comes up, i'm going to close the pool, get 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 hit the science communicate uh we can do 2 minutes for us to practice on the, on the application level network, which is fine. but, and i think well, be able to engage children across all it, additional level spots, even the necessary level. why am i really? yeah, and also special level tools,
1:38 pm
but mostly young people. okay. and so how does the students react when they see this? 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 your reaction is because the children who just want to run up and just talking you can just once would even be inside the dispute, which is really happening. because once we husband sight the bucket was liquid nitrogen 20. and you can start at 197 degrees. well, so one, when i add a port, what to to those really in the truck and then port. what's happened to notice that the actual original forms that you know still exist as you see the most recent o, poked out of that all happen very quickly. so let's do that again. let's get you ready. i'm ready. it is
1:39 pm
2 digits. yeah. as well, this is beautiful. so what you can see here is like i can talk to this, this i just feel like i've been completely out of faith. this is one of the most magical experience. uh, do you know who have done well. yeah, this is great. you know that 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 times of job countries like new jersey and molly, have use this technique to support cloud formation and increase the chance of rain fall? no 80 for those people must know that the methodology code department does not make
1:40 pm
clouts. this is that you will get to of course, but we know the physical and chemical processes of cloud formation and green. so we act on this process by improvement. it's with the sets and 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. so 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 out to it's either inside the stall 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
1:41 pm
a bit more than us humans can handle. so we're still here having fun and being educated and rose 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? you think it goes back to different interest fast? but then again, i also want to come to me on the, the system as a whole. bunch of students never be engaged 4 times on me because when i talk about edition, i have that one, which is the lead to that. what you would have to do with it. what does it do? so when we, when we, when you write the page or you should not be good, but when you actually come to interrupt to the, i think now, you know,
1:42 pm
when it's fun. yeah. gauging you start shifting, know the mindset. so what are we about to do? you talked about potassium, iodide, potassium iodide and hydrogen kind of a center and say, okay, what are they and what are we about to go about to make elephant elephant brush that fees? yes. so the reaction that the result is a big food. ok, so that's what we call it, an elephant elephant of 50 something. use something big. so what's your time to show here today is how reactions take place. so i have so please me the green stuff is associate and what is this is food color? just products be able to, to add more besides these. so for drama feed huh. most science with color reactions,
1:43 pm
blue and red. so we put this here, this which is nice and maybe to box too fast. again, i can tell you something that used to cut the fox best the, the option here is often has to do to either because you don't need to tell me twice. good. that's good. read. yeah. yeah. oh my goodness. it's all the way up to. oh, it's very warm, it's one to vs. so tommy reaction me, remember, reaction is every option that gives image, right? it's the 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
1:44 pm
a value you should know just to demonstrate that show you how the options to yeah. just be able to put it together because i i'm also on my neck. yeah. have something called up to you for me can just attach it to make a full head. yeah. get that idea. use this is just uh, gimme a call that mix together to form. um, we just need construction industry. find the, the, the phone that is usually applied in for it to be sure installation. yeah. so this is what, this is. yeah. okay. i like that. you really just broken down everything. it makes it accessible and to what you said it is fun. so we keep planning, we keep planning, keep great and we keep having fun. yes. i thank you so much to ruth, i'm the entire team here. that's fun and invitation. pleasure. so speaking of how we can put science so good use something that has everyone on edge at the moment is
1:45 pm
a i or at the official intelligence. on the one hand, many of us already using ai to help us answer questions or even transfer me to 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 up it go. the gold cup to confuse the top costs. you come with money. so the across the images, they capture a process to the machine, learning to detect pests and diseases. so thomas can take steps. preventative corrupts 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 content and try to figure out what is wrong with this and you kind of just deposition pinpoint
1:46 pm
exactly what is wrong in biology or that is disease with dice best. that's just a disturbing, deformed, and it can control each other call. it won't teaching hospital in the, in a cru see shown, the is also making it's to be here on a i platform is helping health care was read x ray images more effect. it's fixed the diagnosis, fiesta, you fucking families very much as new 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 to leapfrog. and what's other way to live broke then with a public robots. this one's called cello and it's develop well, benjamin notate has programmed aids to be a personal assistant and some questions,
1:47 pm
or even help you take your medication. at the right time, you can use cello to, you know, access the elderly within the customer service environments. you can actually place opposition tell that 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 escrow themselves menus because then how do you guys, how would he, i hope to make your job easier. 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
1:48 pm
more about whether use of a sticking us. perhaps you can tell us what you make of it. what do you use a full if a tone and have you had any good or bad experiences with it? well, okay, we have one more innovator to me. he's a young man from uganda, and his actually designs a mini computer, which he claims is more affordable and practical than those of you and i for abuse . 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 engineer, i have on pedagogy, believes everyone should be able to assess computers. so he puts his money where his mouth is. 2017 designed and affordable many computer, which it calls the fuse to stick. when you look at africa as the appointment, we very much left behind my admissions and words in terms of technology. so what i see eventually is kitchens. visit the
1:49 pm
perspective much people have about africa, but we cannot, you know, that we cannot mix things from our own. so through making things of our own people will actually get more access to these things. the mini computers loops and function similar to a memory stick. a set it's loaded with no mile computer programs, simply plug it into any smart screen and hit press 2. you've got to self a fully functioning computer. but it's because drop category would be it's cost. the fuse did come in the cost around $70.00, making it about 5 times more affordable than conventional computers. and you've done dental students so months. i assume we've got to hunt on a test unit and has been using it ever since. i've assessed one at the standard and
1:50 pm
50000 and it's been great ever since because i can do all my luck on the on the t v. d a print mary puts a write them down. i store my information. the also has my music as well. i can plug in my headsets 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 for a to far voice 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 awarded the has difficulties in fading for the the n as in yellow. ok. it is why it's more efficient than the the user, because a no more level use is our own $65.00. what then
1:51 pm
a desktop setup. we use about a 125. what will the flooring dump sites like? this is what most of the waste in composite lines. this includes e with like gold, discounted computers by compressing dec stuff technology in to pocket size devices . kind of go by wants to minimize his footprint on the environment. so with a smaller device means less material, 100, less material. eventually up of the projects life cycle. when it comes to disposing of the product, you'll have less weight in the last 2 years. can we go by how would useful, about 150 many computers haven't just received funding to produce smart devices, kind of got by hopes to scale these production and brick into the market.
1:52 pm
so from what we've just seen with through us, we know that learning science, even as a child can actually be fun. especially if you loved discovering and experimenting . so after watching and studying abroad attempt, let me and doctor wanted to provide the students with a place where they can discover the world of science outside the classroom. and she's built a whole center just for this. my name is ridiculous. edward medical doctor and the patient, the scientist. and i'm the co founder of 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, i was thinking i need to get out of this country and get more exposure apart from just seeing 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 or
1:53 pm
when i left the country to speed and 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 going outside to get as much as i can. so that when i come back i'm, i'd useful as it can be the, the question of the importance of science, technology, engineering, mathematics next time. and then i for the context is that science technology engineering. math is the one that has progressed through money to so far, and africa as a continent has a lot of opportunities to caption leapfrog, to you know, success that other countries have. i mean terms, an inborn,
1:54 pm
raised and educated, at least to my, my 1st degree in medicine and i've gone through public schools and not going through private school. so i have a good taste of both worlds and being in and ask for open 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 to growing up and make it demick situation to be on the people who need to have that. so give me what personal to one of the major things that i learned is i did not know much about myself and 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
1:55 pm
up for 3 years to 14 years. the 2nd main project is to package these experiences that kids having projects and science kits. and the 3rd last project is with secondary school kids. and this is, uh, would we put the caps every yeah, let me throw them problems. it's a outbreak of quite or how can you use science technology in math to solve that in the practical knowledge, to make sure that within 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 i think a couple church should, should do it to come back and grow this content lip from, you know, as well. that's all we have for you today. i hope you enjoy the show and learn something new. i know i did as always feel free to tell us what you think you can
