This is an interview with Desnor Chigumba, a Zimbabwean PhD Student in Chemical Biology at the University of Michigan. Desnor is a major voice in science communication (SciComm) with a particular focus on drug discovery, public health, chemical biology, and women in STEM. She offers information and tips on applying for a PhD in the United States (USA); the hurdles that some international students face during the application process and how to overcome them; the effects of lack representation in STEM education on the industry, and why we should decolonise RnD.
