I had an amazing time with my former postdoc @DRondiya during my recent visit to the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.
Proud to be among the selected few outstanding early career scientists invited by the U.S. National Academies to attend the Third U.S.-Africa Frontiers of Science, Engineering, and Medicine Symposium at in Kigali, Rwanda.
Motivation
My advice is, never do to-morrow what you can to-day! “You may delay, but time will not.” – Benjamin Franklin

Floating solar (floatovoltaics) has the potential to provide a much-needed large-scale source of low-carbon energy. They could drastically raise power generation and conserve water in reservoirs. Check out the video for more insights!

Electronic waste—or e-waste—is arguably worse than plastic, producing tonnes of toxic waste every year and causing irreversible damage to the environment.
