On the other, context is dynamic and plays a role in determining the ethical considerations in research processes. Tensions exist. How do [...]]]></description>

Clarisse Uwizeye could be the next genius to turn science on its head, yet the world nearly lost her beautiful mind.
At age seven, Uwizeye barely escaped the genocide in her homeland of Rwanda, fleeing with her family to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Two years later, war came to Congo and the family had to run again, back to Rwanda. Her parents vanished, never to be seen again.

  Les &#233;tudiants m'ont dit que les  choses sont &#171;&#160;diff&#233;rentes&#160;&#187; &#224; AIMS. Je leur ai demand&#233; ce qu'ils  voulaient dire. Une &#233;tudiante a expliqu&#233; que &#171;&#160;nous allons &#224; l'int&#233;rieur  du probl&#232;me.&#160;&#187;<br />

Maintenant je  sais comment p&#233;n&#233;trer &#224; l'int&#233;rieur d'un probl&#232;me, et de le d&#233;monter afin de le  comprendre. Une fois que je l'ai fait, je peux aller dormir. Je sais que dans  la matin&#233;e, je serai en mesure de r&#233;soudre le probl&#232;me parce que je l&#8217;aurai  compris.&#160;&#187;<br />

Les apprenants d&#8217;AIMS, seront-ils et seront-elles en mesure  d&#8217;&#171;&#160;aller &#224; l'int&#233;rieur&#160;&#187; et de relever les d&#233;fis du continent&#160;?</p>]]></description>
