A scholar named Dr. Chinasa Okorie-Humphrey has emphasized the significance of mentorship within academic settings, calling it essential for guiding the next generation of researchers.

Okorie-Humphrey, an expert in biochemistry, food chemistry, and biotechnology, revealed this in a statement released on Friday.

She pointed out that academics need to be deliberate in shaping the future of scientific exploration, emphasizing that guidance helps maintain and advance research discoveries.

Research has the power to uncover new possibilities, yet mentorship ensures that others can access these opportunities. My most significant accomplishment isn’t solely in the laboratory; it’s witnessing the students I’ve mentored surpass all my expectations.

“Mentorship goes beyond just offering advice; it’s about creating opportunities. Each discussion, each lab session shared, is a seed being sown for the future of food science,” she stated.

Okorie-Humphrey stated that through guidance, she is developing not only researchers but also leaders capable of addressing the scientific and societal aspects of food issues.

According to her, this corresponds to UNESCO’s initiative for enhanced mentorship systems in Africa to boost research capabilities and guarantee long-term development in scientific advancements.

Breakthroughs in food technology aren’t solely developed in labs; they emerge in educational settings, research teams, and the guiding connections that nurture future scientists.

“According to the World Economic Forum, globally, equipping young scientists for the food systems of the future involves not only technical education but also the cultivation of leadership skills,” he added.

“Science goes beyond experiments. It also requires bravery—bravery to pose new questions, and bravery to envision food systems that benefit all, not just a select few,” she said.
