I was privileged to have participated in the maiden series of the African Scholars Mentorship Network (ASMN) program. The program was a great value addition as I gained practical knowledge and skills critical for my professional and career development. I strongly recommend the program for early and mid career researchers and academics.

I must admit that being part of asmin was one of the most important decisions I ever made regarding my scholarly journey. I learnt so much through out the episodes. How to handle rejections, collaborations, resilience, publishing in reputable outlets, importance of team work and above all, the research pyramid. In a nutshell, it was a scholarly episodes filled with beauty, colour and knowledge. It was also highly interactive. This for sure can't be forgotten in a hurry. A big thank you to the organizers @prof Evans Osabuohien.

My participation in the African Scholars mentorship network has sparked research interest in me. As a young researcher, I found out that there are a lot of things I have not been doing in building my career. This mentorship network opened my eyes to the constant need to update my CV thereby, scouting for training online and onsite that I can participate in. Also, I discovered the need to collaborate and network with my peers at my level. The session on grant and motivation letter writing session has equipped me with the necessary writing skills needed to write a winning motivation letter and proposals for the grants. This experience goes a long way to make me a successful researcher.
