of these places in europe smashing the rank one step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin clo, to discover some of us regular bragging sites on youtube, and also input 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 place of pool, lots of 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 punch and to find out what it takes to become an actual sciences. we'll find out why does it mean to children crazy about physics and chemistry. and

we've got a few of surprises in store for you. the now science plays an incredibly important tool in all of our lives, from innovations 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 career 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

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 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 do view. don't want 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 yield. 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.

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 the 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 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 bioinformatics. so by and so 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 and within africa will at some point,

she qualified for my to somebody uses together with some of her colleagues. laura is part of the buyer and some metrics hub of kenya. a network of young researches who want to build up the field 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, 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 the 1st thing that to and so we find it shouldn't be 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, if, unfortunately, to say, but, i mean

a is in college, my, my friends and people who we studied 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 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 in symmetric is the logical next step, who knows what groundbreaking research and recognition. so my flight ahead a so just a little sacked for you. did you know the just was 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 like laura and have colleagues grew in the meantime,

we're about to get so i enter 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 to be an experience for all of us. so yeah, this is in same and you're going to leave it. all right, so as i just it's dead. yeah, this is move to money. everyone. can you tell us what's happening right now? because i just look into you, you try to test it's really cool. this is, this is what it would be like if you just open up that. so what is this exactly? what is creating this?

so from times when, what air raises when, when, when what at the end of operations happens updates. very cool. so once the feel comes up and then close the device, precipitate to phone. 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 gives me for us to practice on the, on the application level network. so if i sign him, which is financial and i think well, be able to engage children across all of it. additional level talks even the necessary level. really. yeah. and also special level, but mostly young people. okay. so how does the students react when they see these?

i mean, i'm a grown up, i know what's going on and yes, 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 to just once would even be inside the dispute, which is really happening. because once we have inside the bucket was liquid nitrogen 20 plus. 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 happens now is that's 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 do that again. i you ready? i'm ready. it is to just, yeah. as well,

this is beautiful. so what you guys hear is like i talk to this this i just feel like i'm in some place out of faith. this is one of the most magical experience. uh, do you know who wow, yeah, this is great. you know, that actually people who are really 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 city in times of job countries like new jersey and molly, have use this technique to support cloud from nation and increase the chance of rain phone? no 80. those people must know that the methodology code department does not make 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 a with sense and kemi coast, which is free into the cloud to cos ring. so 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, caring, chemical compounds such as sofa sodium and acetone. this aircraft is capable of seating cloud low in high otc relative. yeah, we have hydro, this material is useful seating a little out to. it's either inside the stall or below. down here we have products useful, high o 2 to use 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. so we're still here having fun and being

educated and roasted 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 or not because when i talk about them either what, what is the lead to that? what you would have to do with it? what does it do? so when, when, when, when, when you write the page on the phone, you should be good. 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?

you've 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 then fees? yes. so the reaction that the result is a big. okay, so that's what we call an elephant elephant. 50 something huge, something big. yeah. so what's your time to show here today is how the options take place. so i have to police me. the green stuff is associate is and what is this is food color, just products to be able to, to add more, besides or for draw these. so for drama feed a lot. huh. most science with color reactions, blue and red. so i'm going to put this here,

this the winter. so i would, i would say, maybe 2 boxes times again. mm hm. i can tell you something that used to cut the fox less than the option here. but if it is up to date to either box, you don't need to tell me twice with us. can reset it. yeah. oh my goodness, it's all the way up to oh it's very warm, it's one to the comics reaction. mm. remember, i think it's the time because we have showed every option that gives it much, 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 a value, you know, just to demonstrate that show you how the interest?

yeah. and just be able to put it together because i i'm also on my next 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 of which of these instructions and us to find the the, the form that is usually applied in for it's alicia installation. yeah. so this is what this is. yeah. okay. i like that you really just broken down everything. it makes it accessible and true to what you've said. it is fun. so ricky planning, you planning, keep great and we keep having fun. yes. i don't. that's thank you so much to ruth. i'm the entire team here. that's fine. an invitation. pleasure. so speaking of how we can put science so good use something that has everyone on edge at the moment is 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 it 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 to the across. the images they capture a process to the machine, learning to, to fix pests and diseases. so thomas can take steps. preventative krupps from suicide, stomach andrews, konica, and his team from colorado 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 exactly what to solve it by that the way that is disease with the.
