Send us a text Twitter, if used correctly, has created a platform for people to connect with others who have similar interests and opinions. But how crazy is that it can be a place where you can meet someone who has similar life experience AND has the same name. Well, that’s the case of my two guests today, Nathasia (Tasia) Muwanigwa and Nataša (Nata) Lazarević. Call it coincidence or serendipity. Still, the founders of Visibility STEM Africa(VSA) have a similar name, have both lived in several countries (with Botswana being a shared one), and are currently pursuing PhDs in STEM fields. Together, they saw the need for better representation of Africans in STEM fields and decided to create VSA. In Part 1 we get to briefly know them individually, chat about how the collaboration started and how they make the initiative work despite being on different continents. Stay tuned for part two: there is an exciting announcement to be made!Support the showFollow the show on:Twitter: @RootofscipodInstagram: @Rootofscipod YouTube: The Root Of The Science PodcastFacebook: The Root of The Science Podcast LinkedIn: The Root Of The Science PodcastWebsite
