Ugbaad Aidid
Ugbaad is a PhD student in Education who has joined the Wellcome Connecting Science team and the Kavli Centre. Her PhD project will be exploring scientific approaches to ethics education. She will be looking at how ethics training works in practice for early career scientists and how this differs across institutions, fields and contexts (specifically South Africa and the UK). Ugbaad is passionate about collaborative approaches to education and before this was working at a social mobility charity. Ugbaad’s background includes leading a participatory project that sought to engage the local community in academic research and improve the civic engagements of the University of Bristol. She presented these research findings at the ESRC Festival of Social Sciences in November 2020.
