Faculty member and researcher at Universidade Eduardo Mondlane; PhD in Biosciences and Public Health; Alumni at the United Nations Y4B Fellowship; Academic Editor at PLOS
𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽! I am profoundly grateful to the BWC ISU of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs for the incredible opportunity to participate in the Youth for Biosecurity Fellowship 2024. I was honored to be one of the 20 selected globally from 2,400 applicants across over 100 countries. It was a privilege to represent Universidade Eduardo Mondlane and my country, Mozambique, and to connect with young leaders worldwide who are making significant contributions to life sciences, biosecurity, and science diplomacy. This program was a three-month journey, including an online workshop on Biosecurity Diplomacy and a field visit to Geneva in August 2024. We engaged in numerous enriching activities, such as a briefing on the fourth session of the Biological Weapons Convention Working Group Meeting, Design Thinking training by the Global Health Security Fund, a visit to the Spiez Laboratory and our poster presentation. We also attended presentations by UNIDIR — UN Institute for Disarmament Research and the Nuclear Threat Initiative. Additionally, we participated in the fourth Meeting of the BWC Working Group on the Strengthening of the Convention and attended various side events. We visited the International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC, the World Health Organization, and GESDA - Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator, and I had the opportunity to present at a side event. Throughout the program, there were several discussions and networking opportunities with experts and diplomats. I want to express my gratitude to God for blessing me with this golden opportunity and to honor my father, Michael Milton Hlashwayo (in memoriam), who, as a veteran in the national fight for independence, taught me the value of working for peace. My participation in this Fellowship is a continuation of his legacy. I also want to especially honor my mother, Delfina Isabel M. Fernandes, whose dedication and support have been fundamental in helping me achieve my dreams, far beyond what I had ever imagined — from being the first PhD graduate from my faculty to completing my doctorate by age 28 and participating in this Fellowship. I extend my thanks to my siblings, nieces, nephews, supervisors, mentors, colleagues, and everyone who has contributed to my academic and professional journey. I would like to give special recognition to my mentor, Dr. Filomena Barbosa, and my PhD supervisor, Dr. Custódio Bila, for their continuous inspiration and support. Finally, I want to thank my fellows and everyone who made this experience so memorable. I am excited about what our #Youth4Biosec group will achieve together in the future! Thank you all so much!

I am excited to share a part of my journey only a few may know about. Back in 2014, I started my academic path in International Relations. However, after a few years, I realized that my true passion lay elsewhere, which led me to switch my undergraduate studies to Biomedical Science. Fast forward to today, those two seemingly different worlds have converged in a way I never imagined. At the beginning of May, I received the news that I was selected for the 2024 Youth for Biosecurity Fellowship at the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA). Throughout June and July, I had the unique opportunity to dive deep into the intersection of biosecurity, diplomacy, and politics through workshops. A great moment for me was during a workshop led by Clarissa Rios Rojas, where, for the first time, I saw these two worlds truly merge. Last week, I had the pleasure of being in-person in Geneva during the Working Group on the Strengthening of the Biological Weapons Convention at the UN. We were also able to make a short visit to Spiez Laboratory, International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC, World Health Organization, and GESDA - Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator who opened the doors for us. I do not want to seem boring and silly, but this opportunity was eye opening and a dream come true. Many thanks to the UNODA team (Rémi Bacouillard, Mélanie Gerber, Emil Iftekhar, Elena Orlyk, Yohann Bouvier, Marykate Monaghan and Mariia Koroleva) and the Global Health Security Fund team (Andrew Nerlinger, Lisa McDonald, Darja Könnig) for making this fellowship possible, and many thanks for your great hospitality and kindness. Many thanks to all my fellows (and now friends); may our paths cross again (hopefully) soon. #Biosecurity #Biosafety #UNODA #YouthEngagement #YouthDiplomacy #ScienceDiplomacy #HealthDiplomacy #GlobalHealth

Still coming back to reality after having an incredible time as a Youth for Biosecurity Fellow at the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA). My highlights? Bet on youth and then double down. Youth around the world aren't waiting for the future, they're doing amazing things right now. I plan to keep connected to the other fellows —now my friends. I can't wait to see what they will achieve! Huge thanks to Rémi Bacouillard, Mélanie Gerber, Lisa McDonald, Andrew Nerlinger, and all the lovely people at UNODA and the Global Health Security Fund for making us fellows feel at home from day 0. Much appreciation to GESDA - Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator, Spiez Laboratory, UNIDIR — UN Institute for Disarmament Research, World Health Organization, and the International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC for opening their doors to us. #Biosecurity #Biosafety #UNODA #YouthEngagement #YouthDiplomacy #ScienceDiplomacy

Get ready for an engaging Journal Club this Friday! ¡Prepárate para un interesante viernes en el Journal Club! Entender la biocustodia es crucial para los científicos de diversas disciplinas. Lo anterior garantiza el manejo seguro de materiales biológicos y previene el posible mal uso, que podría tener y las implicaciones globales. La educación adecuada en este campo fomenta prácticas científicas responsables y ayuda a mitigar los riesgos asociados con las tecnologías de doble uso entre profesionistas, pero tambien entre estudiantes de pregrado y postgrado. --- Understanding biosecurity is crucial for scientists from a variety of disciplines. It ensures the safe handling of biological materials and prevents potential misuse, which could have global implications.

It was truly inspiring to meet the #Youth4Biosecurity fellows in person as they completed a workshop on human-centered design led by the Global Health Security Fund team last week. During the session, three groups of fellows crafted "how might we" problem statements related to the challenge of building a community of practice of biosecurity professionals, with a focus on making diagnostic laboratories more sustainable, particularly in lower resourced settings. The fellows then brainstormed, developed, and presented innovative solutions to their biosecurity challenges from the perspective of those who face these problems every day. It was an incredible continuation of what promises to be a transformative journey for these emerging leaders 🏆 #Biosecurity #Biosafety #ScienceDiplomacy #HealthDiplomacy #GlobalHealth #Laboratories #CommunityofPractice #1972BWC #Youth4Biosec #UNODA
