			<description><![CDATA[<p>Anne Chisa, also known as Anne with an E, is the<a href="https://rootofthesciencepodcast.buzzsprout.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Root of Science Podcast host</a>, a PhD Candidate in Crop Science at the University of Kwazulu Natal doing her research on using human poop as a fertilizer. She is also a science communicator, Mc and Moderator. This episode talks about her hobbies and things she indulges in when not recording a podcast episode or doing her PhD.</p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><br><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><br><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><br><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><br><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><br><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).</p><br><p>Feel free to reach out too if you want to talk about a certain topic in the science career space or anything as a scientist that might have nothing to with science but affects scientists.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Anne Chisa, also known as Anne with an E, is the<a href="https://rootofthesciencepodcast.buzzsprout.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Root of Science Podcast host</a>, a PhD Candidate in Crop Science at the University of Kwazulu Natal doing her research on using human poop as a fertilizer. She is also a science communicator, Mc and Moderator. In this episode, she talks about her early beginnings in Malawi and how her journey in science has been.</p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><br><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><br><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><br><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><br><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><br><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).</p><br><p>Feel free to reach out too if you want to talk about a certain topic in the science career space or anything as a scientist that might have nothing to with science but affects scientists.

I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><br><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><br></p><p>Dr Rafael Galupa is today's guest for The Vulnerable Scientist Podcast. He is a Postdoctoral Researcher at EMBL where he engineers DNA to understand life. In this episode, Rafael talks about how looked for a lab to settle for and how different research labs were different in turns of culture. He also talks about studying sex chromosomes and cancer.</p><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><br><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><br><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><br><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><br><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Dr Vijay Kale has more than 12 years of industrial experience as a Project Toxicologist and Study Director in drug safety evaluation, particularly nonclinical Dtoxicology studies of small molecules and biopharmaceuticals including immuno-oncotherapeutics. He has directed Central Clinical Pathology laboratory, a prime resource for Nonclinical toxicology and pharmacology studies for seven new chemical entities and numerous Clinical Studies (Phase 1 &amp; BA/BE studies). He has also worked closely with various players in Drug Discovery and Drug Development such as Chemistry, DMPK, Cell and Molecular Biology, in vitro assay teams, Biotechnology, Clinical Research, Statistics, QAU, and Sponsors.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Michael Keenan</p><p>Michael Keenan is PhD Candidate at Wageningen University and Research. His dissertation focuses on understanding how risk and market access affect smallholder farmers’ marketing and investment decisions, agricultural households’ livelihoods, and internal conflict within agricultural-based economies. His research combines behavioural, theoretical, and empirical analysis at the intra-household level, household-level, and macroeconomic level to understand these relationships.&nbsp;</p><br><p>He is passionate about applying quantitative methods and big data to a range of economic development issues. His research is now expanding into understanding gender gaps in smallholder agriculture, urban migration patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the effects of digital innovations on rural areas' food systems.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He has been based in Nairobi, Kenya for the past three years and has experience conducting research in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania. He enjoys travelling, reading, and spending time with friends and family.</p><br><p>In this episode, He talks about his research and the Lows of his career.</p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><br><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Michael Keenan is PhD Candidate at Wageningen University and Research. His dissertation focuses on understanding how risk and market access affect smallholder farmers’ marketing and investment decisions, agricultural households’ livelihoods, and internal conflict within agricultural-based economies. To understand these relationships, His research combines behavioral, theoretical, and empirical analysis at the intra-household level, household-level, and mesoeconomic level.&nbsp;</p><br><p>He is passionate about applying quantitative methods and big data to a range of economic development issues. His research is now expanding into understanding gender gaps in smallholder agriculture, urban migration patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the effects of digital innovations on rural areas' food systems.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He has been based in Nairobi, Kenya for the past three years and has experience conducting research in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania. I enjoy travelling, reading, and spending time with friends and family.</p><br><p>In this episode, He talks about his journey into research from a business course.</p><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><br><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, I talk about the production limitations that I am currently facing in regards to the podcast Vulnerably and call on for support of you as a listener in any way possible.</p><br><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/Thevulnerablescientist" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;https://linktr.ee/Thevulnerablescientist</a></p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<description><![CDATA[<p>This is the first episode of this season,</p><br><p>I am majorly having a check-in podcast in this podcast and testing an intro and giving developments concerning the podcast. I will talk more of it as time goes by.</p><br><p>Out of the booth podcast blog about the Vulnerable Scientist: <a href="https://otbpodke.wordpress.com/2022/01/23/todays-podcast-is-the-vulnerable-scientist/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://otbpodke.wordpress.com/2022/01/23/todays-podcast-is-the-vulnerable-scientist/</a></p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Dr Bill Ratemo introduces himself and since he mention that he works in the Kenyan organisation that regulates GMOs, the National Biosafety authority, I thought I should probe further about this. In Part 2, he will tell his story.</p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Fredrick is a statistician who has moved from health research to now agricultural research.The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>This is the last part of Dr Afrah Khairallah's Story where she talks about the highs and her PhD research is explained in detail. </p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>This is the story of a woman in science who originates from Sudan and now going against the cultural current and pursuing a career in Bioinformatics in South Africa. This a story of quest for knowledge and a passion for science.</p><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

Her agency has worked with prominent science organisations such as SciFest Africa and CSIR.&nbsp;</p><p>She believes strongly in representation, and that young person can only become who they see. Through her weekly Instagram live sessions, she continues to give underrepresented scientists and science communicators a voice and allow them to be seen.</p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><br><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Amos Mhone is currently an MSc Graduate Fellow at International Livestock Research Institute doing conducting his research in bacteriophages as alternatives to antibiotics to help in antimicrobial resistance.</p><p>In this episode, Amos talks about his journey before going to university to study veterinary medicine and how it was like moving from the village to the city.</p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms.

I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Everyone scientist either young or established ones have a story to tell and <a href="https://ke.linkedin.com/in/florence-parsimei-2a05b5147" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Parsimei</a> is one of those people.</p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Milcah Kigoni talks about the highs in her career journey.&nbsp;Listen to the previous podcasts for the other part of her story.</p><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Feel free to share with the world your story.</p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience including scientists and non-scientists is the main motivation why I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork and post it and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns so far but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, I am reading from an article written on Vox: <a href="https://www.vox.com/2016/7/14/12016710/science-challeges-research-funding-peer-review-process" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.vox.com/2016/7/14/12016710/science-challeges-research-funding-peer-review-process</a></p><br><p>I got attracted to the article mainly because of the 7th reason which mainly talks of the struggles of young scientists all over the world.</p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience including scientists and non-scientists is the main motivation why I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork and post it and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns so far but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>Verena Ras is a South African telling her story of navigating her science career. In the episode, she also talks about her highs and lows which are the highlight of the Vulnerable scientist podcast.<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a></p><br><p>This is a repurposed interview from the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzHTcUBhZT8fPNvNyYOtbdg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">science media Afric</a>a interviews done in collaboration with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/planet-wizard-africa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Planet wizard Africa</a> </p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience, including scientists and non-scientists, is the main motivation I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork, post it, and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns, but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).

			<description><![CDATA[<p>This is pretty much me talking about starting this project as an MSc Student at ILRI  and how it came about. I have also talked about my day just to get a feel of what the podcast is all about.</p><br><p>The Vulnerable Scientist is a Kenyan-based podcast that focuses on scientists' stories about their daily lives, work, and how they got to where they are. I am your host Sarah Nyakeri, a scientist, informal science communicator and a hiker. I am a multidisciplinary individual that does digital marketing and website design during my free time.</p><p>The main questions asked that scientists are expected to answer vulnerable are: How are you, Introduce yourself, how did you become a scientist, What are the highs and lows you have experienced in your science career, tell the listeners about your hobbies, what question would you like to answer that has not been asked and how do you feel after having this conversation.</p><p>Why did I start this podcast? You might ask. When doing my MSc project, my experiments started to fail at a certain period and it was very frustrating. I thought, If I finally get a new vaccine target for CBPP in cows, it would be all smiles but no one will ever know what I went through. I also wondered how many scientists were going through the same rough patch but did not openly talk about it?</p><p>One day when I had just had a rough day, I talked into a mic about my day and I felt better. That was the first episode. At first, I thought it would just be journalling but after some fellow scientists heard it, they wanted to be Vulnerable too. Since then I have brought scientists from different fields to tell their stories of the highs and lows they have experienced with honesty and authenticity being the lead of our informal and long conversations.</p><p>I enjoy asking questions since I am a naturally curious person. Feedback from the audience including scientists and non-scientists is the main motivation why I message scientists or accept their request to be on the podcast, schedule an interview, edit audio, design the artwork and post it and share it on social media platforms. It is a full-time job that requires me to spend from my pocket with no monetary returns so far but I enjoy it.</p><p>If you want to be Vulnerable on the show, send me an audio message either on speak pipe (<a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/VulnerableScientistVoicemail&nbsp;</a>) or anchor (<a href="https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://anchor.fm/thevulnerablescientist/message</a>).
