Relocating is a common experience for many young scientists. Researchers can broaden their scientific expertise, discuss new ideas, and create meaningful relationships and collaborations by moving abroad, or staying in their own country to contribute more for the scientific ideas, tracking the movement of early-stage of young researchers around the world would create a complex network joining the most diverse places, connecting the researchers to the old laureate. An interview with Dr. Osahon Jeffery Asowata during The Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) 2022 in Heidelberg -Germany.
Can you please introduce yourself and how you where been selected among the young researchers to be at this wonderful event HLF 2022 to us?
