What is your current role? Tell us a bit about your research
I am currently pursuing a higher degree research program in the Division of Public Health and Tropical Medicine at James Cook University in Australia. My current research focus is at the intersection of spatial statistics and machine learning, particularly in the realm of public health applications. In addition, I am keenly interested in exploring methods for spatially resolved omics analysis to understand complexity in infectious and cancerous diseases.
Why did you choose to participate in the ASAPbio Fellows program?
As an advocate for open science principles, I am passionate about promoting transparency, accessibility, and collaboration in scientific research. Participating in the 2024 ASAPbio Fellows program is an exciting opportunity for me to further explore the evolving landscape of preprints and to engage with fellow members of the preprints community. Noteworthily, the adoption of preprints is still nascent in Nigeria. Through this program, I aspire to acquire valuable insights, resources, and support to catalyze the integration of preprints into Nigeria’s research ecosystem.
What are you excited about in science communication?
I am enthusiastic about leveraging the power of storytelling to share scientific research findings with both the scientific community and broader audiences.
