 Hi, I'm Kim karaoke. I'm a data analyst with a market theme. This is where I work. Let's go in. I feel like I'm doing more I like working at elderly. I love the opportunity to grow and to do new challenging things It's a very open-door policy people love to assist each other and to help you develop I Work with people from very diverse backgrounds Some are international from Europe from Asia from the US or a lot of Kenyans as well and others from East Africa There's a very good mix of specialities here too. Not just scientists, but sociologists Anthropologists and economists and people with a whole lot of other skill sets and academic experience Here I'm at the main gate There are a number of organizations on the Ilri campus and this works fine because many of our scientists collaborate on projects There is a wide range of laboratories and facilities on our campus in Nairobi come on. Let me show you some This is the Ilri farm. It's roughly 70 hectares and at last count. We had 167 cattle 13 goats and 41 sheep This is a small animal unit. We are standing outside the liquid nitrogen plant Let's go in and take a look. Okay. So where are we now? We're in lab three. This is our training lab Okay, it's one of seven labs and here we have people from all over the region who've come to work with us. Okay Previously before these facilities a lot of these projects were scattered around the world even outside of Africa working on African problems So now we have a lot of students and scientists who are coming to address the problems in context on the ground We've had visitors like Bill Gates the president of Kenya officially opened our labs after the renovation last year a Lot of my colleagues at Cambridge before I moved here asked me what would it be like working in Kenya? And I've been very pleasantly surprised. It's at the cutting edge of science and we have top scientists and visitors coming all the time looking for collaborations and Looking to support what we're doing here and it really makes for a vibrant and dynamic environment
