While studying medicine at University of Zimbabwe (UZ), I had ??? like where do medicines come from? Who makes them and how? 2 semesters later, I dropped out & my journey to finding answers began. Today, I got my 1st dose of a vaccine whose development I was part of. #pfizerproud

Science & Tech are critical for our development. But zvinodzidziswa nechirungu, which sometimes makes it difficult to understand even basic concepts. This creates a barrier especially for kids and even for parents. I think we should use local languages. What do you think?

A bit nostalgic, this was in 2013 on this day after we received the good news that we passed our PhD qualification exams in our cohort. We went to a Cardinals baseball game to celebrate as we were venturing into different research areas.

I grew up in the church under his teachings. Today he's gone to be with the Lord, his legacy will continue to speak for itself in his absence. You fought a good fight, RIP Baba Guti🕊️ 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾!

Not a big fun of turbulence during flight but the lady next to me was holding her crucifix very tightly and firmly. I could hear her silent whisper, “Lord help me, I’m your servant, I still need time”, and I can relate 😊😊.

She's 105 years old and just got her Master's degree from Stanford, what makes you persistently think you have no chance and it's over for you?
