The Role of Women in Nigerian Biochemistry

 

Introduction

The role of women in Nigerian biochemistry cannot be over-emphasized.
As we embark on this exploration of Nigerian biochemistry, we must focus our lens on a crucial aspect—the role of women in this dynamic field.
In a gender equality struggle, recognizing women biochemists’ contributions and addressing their unique challenges is vital.
Nigerian biochemistry plays a crucial role in the country’s scientific progress.

Historical background


The historical context of women’s participation in science in Nigeria 

In Nigeria, women have historically faced challenges in actively participating in scientific fields. Social and cultural norms have limited their involvement.

Traditionally, women were encouraged to focus on family duties and their roles were confined to domestic responsibilities.

This limited access to education and professional opportunities for Nigerian women, including those interested in pursuing biochemistry careers.

Challenges and barriers faced by women in pursuing biochemistry careers

  1. Lack of access to quality education: Women faced limited opportunities in acquiring higher education, especially in scientific fields.

  2. Societal expectations: Gendered expectations placed greater emphasis on marriage and family, diverting women away from pursuing professional careers.

  3. Gender discrimination: Women encountered prejudice and biases in male-dominated academic and professional environments.

  4. Work-life balance: Juggling professional commitments and family responsibilities presented significant challenges for women in biochemistry careers.

Pure Water: The Unsung Hero Of The Lab

Image
Pure water plays a pivotal role in almost every life science experiment, diagnostic test or chemical reaction. It’s so important, there’s even a  high impact journal  dedicated to reporting on new water-based research and purification methods. Sadly, lab water still rarely gets the attention it deserves.   The Ultimate Dissolution Solution Without pure water, very few experiments, tests or reactions would be possible. Thanks to its favorable chemical and physical properties, water is often considered the ‘universal solvent’ as it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. Perhaps even more importantly, many biochemical reactions will only take place within aqueous solutions. Ultra-Sensitive Analytics Some of the most interesting science being carried out at the moment pushes the boundaries of analytical sensitivity. Techniques such as inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and ICP atomic emission spect...

Copyleaks CEO: OpenAI’s o1 emergence could blur the lines between human researcher and AI assistant

Image
  The web is facing a deluge of AI-generated content, with an explosive 8,362% surge from November 2022 to March 2024, according to  a study by Copyleaks . From Q1 2023 to Q1 2024, the volume of AI-detected content jumped 2,848% based on an analysis of more than a million web pages per period using data from common web crawls. The rise of reasoning AI Simultaneously, AI tools are becoming more capable for academic tasks. OpenAI’s new “reasoning” model, o1, is a prime example. Designed to tackle complex problems in science and math, o1 has demonstrated remarkable STEM capabilities. In tests, it placed among the top 500 students in the U.S. Math Olympiad qualifier and demonstrated Ph.D.-level accuracy in physics, biology, and chemistry questions. This development echoes Google Deepmind’s announcement in July that its AI achieved a silver-medal standard in the Math Olympiad. Yamin sees this as a step in the right direction. GenAI is a double-edged sword in scientific publish...
