Anne Wekesa: “Young people need an awareness about wood !”

Wood Science Talks

Anne Wekesa is from Kenya, and she has been selected as one among 16 "Woman Ambassadors of Wood Science", a SWST-sponsored traveling exhibition designed to celebrate women ambassadors over time. In this Wood Science Talk Anne is talking on how she got enrolled into a wood science program in Kenya, how passionate she is about teaching young people, and about the importance of wood in her home country. She is dreaming about having once a wood technology lab at her home university in Kenya, with the hope that she might get help here from the wood science community. She is also explaining her research around bioenergy, carbon and wood products, and the link to climate change. Anne is happy that SWST got her, and she sees SWST as a truly global association.
