In this episode Ruth Mwangi is interviewed by the editor Aline Afanoukoé.
Ruth Mwangi is a doctoral student in Agricultural Sciences, specializing in agricultural and food biotechnology. She is studying the potential of endophytic (a class of endosymbiotic microbes with many practical applications) and botanical extracts in the management of post-harvest losses in tomatoes. She dreams of producing building panels using mushrooms as polystyrene foam. This simple technology would allow us to make affordable, sustainable, environmentally friendly and recyclable building materials from agricultural waste. Ruth believes that educating women in science will promote the continent’s economic development and eradicate poverty.
She is one of the 20 African women researchers rewarded for the excellence of their scientific work through the For Women in Science Young Talents Program for Sub-Saharan Africa, led by The Fondation L’Oréal and UNESCO
