Interdisciplinary Journeys

Session Overview

As a young academician seeking higher education, it is difficult to know what exactly you want to specialise in. In my younger days I thought that cookery was a rather interesting hobby. In case I got married, it would be important that I knew how to cook for my husband. But when I went to university, I changed to dietetics and thought I would look “smart” in a white uniform. But all that changed when I saw the numerous hungry faces on television in 1984. Little did I know then that those faces on television, would impact my interests and career path. Those faces took me on a long interdisciplinary career journey in the fields of nutrition, health and agriculture.

Come and hear our stories to get inspired. Sabrina has just embarked on her interdisciplinary journey through her PhD training, how did she do it? More importantly, how can you make your own interdisciplinary journey in agriculture, nutrition and health.
