据加纳(Priscilla Kolibea Mante)的Priscilla Kolibea Mante说,大多数人甚至都没有意识到自己在歧视女性,他是一位领先的神经药物学家,他正在寻找基于植物的癫痫,焦虑,疼痛和抑郁症的植物治疗方法。

尽管女性可以做男人可以做的许多事情,但在许多社会中,她们也期望履行其传统角色,但她在接受采访时解释说SciDev.Net.

例如,即使她在晚上8点在办公室里结束,她仍然必须在回家时从头开始为家人准备一顿饭。

In 2019 you were the only African recipient of the L’Oreal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Rising Talents Award. The same year you were also selected for the Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World early career fellowship programme. How did that all make you feel?

实际上,迄今为止,2019年对我来说是最激动人心的一年,不仅是个人,而且是职业生涯。能够为L'Oreal-Unesco授予科学妇女奖的L'Oreal-Unesco是一个真正的荣幸。我被介绍给所有这些令人难以置信的科学家,并遇到了一些非常了不起的人。

在同年晚些时候,被选为发展中国家的早期职业奖学金的科学妇女组织,诚实地开始使我感到有些无敌。同年,我感觉到我发生的所有美好事物都在发生在我身上。

您可以研究加纳发现的植物的治疗特性,以治疗神经系统疾病。这些植物之一是cryptolepis saguinolenta,被称为加纳奎宁。告诉我们您对这种植物和其他植物的兴趣。

I’m a pharmacist so one of my strengths is in chemistry, in pharmaceutical chemistry. I have developed an interest in plants as therapeutics because, as we know, a lot of the medicines that we currently have, found their source from nature, which happens to be a very rich source for new therapeutics. We do not have too many highly effective medicines that can affect conditions of the brain. So, that’s why I’m very interested in developing new therapeutics.

您是加纳青年学院的主席,旨在培养年轻科学家。您认为自己是指导的“冠军”。为什么您认为指导在科学家中很重要?

When I started my career, I started to realise that there were a lot of things that I could have done if I had received the right guidance earlier. There are also a lot of things I would have done differently. Because of that I see myself as the person whose job it is to give younger people proper guidance. I like to open up people’s lives so that they can see what options they have in this world. The world is actually open and they are free to choose what they would like to do. They are free to try things. If it does not work out, they are free to start all over again.

您已经说过,您认为科学女性最大的挑战是管理负面看法并克服性别刻板印象。您在自己的职业生涯中是否经历过?如何改善科学女性的学习和工作环境?beplay足球体育的微博

作为女性,我们经常说,当一个女人决定从事职业时,并不总是像男性对手那样容易。我们一直在说这听起来像陈词滥调的程度。但是,这就是事实的真相。对于我们的女性来说,这绝非易事,尤其是当我们在非常传统的社会中长大时。现在,我们正处于妇女有机会的机会。我们几乎可以做任何允许男人做的事情,但是,这仍然不能使我们免除我们的传统角色。晚上8点离开办公室,我回到家,仍然必须从头开始做饭。我不得不经常解释为什么首先结婚不是我的计划,而首先获得博士学位实际上是我的计划。我觉得我们所遭受的许多歧视都是由于无意识的偏见而诞生的 - 大多数人甚至都没有意识到他们在歧视我们。
