Nigerian Scientist: “Science opens up the human mind to the realm of possibilities.”

During 2019, our blog posts will primarily feature a range of countries in which IFS has awarded grants to early-career scientists, drawing on responses to a 15-item survey with mostly open-ended questions that we are sending to former and present grantees in selected countries, as an element of this year’s process culminating in our new 2021-2030 strategy. This month we highlight Nigeria, where 309 grantees (69 to women and 240 to men) have been awarded by IFS since it was founded in 1974. As one respondent noted, “Science opens up the human mind to the realm of possibilities”.
