IBRO-Simons Computational Neuroscience Summer School, Noordhoek, Capetown, South Africa, 2023

Summer School in Computational Neuroscience

My curiosity about the scientific fundamentals of the brain led me to be selected for this summer school which was led by a distinguished team including Joseph Raimondo PhD, Tim Vogel PhD, Peter Latham PhD, and Demba Ba PhD, renowned professors in biophysics, theoretical neuroscience, and machine learning applications in neuroscience. The generosity of the teaching assistants and the collaborative spirit of my cohort made the experience truly memorable. It was an incredible opportunity to learn from leading experts and connect with like-minded peers.

IBRO School The Neurobiology of Stress Symposium UI, Nigerian, 2022

Stress Research Symposium – University of Ibadan, Nigeria

Prof. Solomon Umukoro, University of Ibadan, selected students across Africa and were given the opportunity to deepen their understanding on stress biology. My master’s research at Olabisi Onabanjo University provided the foundation for my successful application, earning me a fully funded travel award covering all expenses. During the symposium, I expanded my knowledge of physiological regulation and homeostasis, exploring concepts beyond classical feedback mechanisms, including stress outbursts and germ theory. The experience offered invaluable insights into stress biology and connected me with leading experts in the field.

IBRO School /Wellcome Trust Teaching Tools  in Neuriscience, University of Ghana, 2021

IBRO International School – Neuroscience Teaching

My passion for teaching was greatly inspired by my first International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) school, for which I received a fully funded award covering travel and all expenses. Prof. Sharon Juliano provided essential teaching resources, ensuring that all students could fully engage with the course. This experience reinforced my drive to continuously develop TEACHING skills, especially in learner-centered neuroscience education. I applied the knowledge and training gained at IBRO school in my role as a Graduate Assistant at Olabisi Onabanjo University and later as a remote lecturer at Olive International College of Naturopathic Medicine (OICNM).
