"Cape Town- Caroline Pule, a doctoral candidate from Stellenbosch University (SU), has joined the frontline in the battle against Covid-19.
The virus has infected hundreds of thousands of people globally. South Africa, like many other countries, is also facing the unprecedented challenge of the Covid-19 pandemic, with currently over 1,000 infection cases and five deaths.

Pule recently volunteered for the CrowdFight Covid-19 initiative in South Africa. This global organisation enables all volunteer scientists from various countries to work together in the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic in their fields of expertise.
Pule says that as a medical scientist with a background of working with one of the deadliest communicable diseases, drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), and serving in a number of health and sciences organisations, it was only logical to do something, even if it was only through volunteering, to help South Africa and the rest of the world wrestle with the spread of the coronavirus.

The multifaceted Pule is not only a researcher in TB at the Division of Molecular Biology and Human Genetics within SU’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, but she also shares her enthusiasm for science in schools through outreach programmes.

She is vice-chairwoman of the Organisation for Women in Science for the Developing World, South African National Chapter (OWSD SANC). In addition, she is the director of the Caroline Pule Science and Literacy Foundation (CPSLF), which has a range of initiatives, including book donations, science clubs, a literacy centres campaign and a mentorship programme.

“Noticing what this Covid-19 pandemic is doing hit me very hard and I could not stop shedding tears of sadness. Due to my passion for global health, medical research and ensuring we have a disease-free nation, I got the urge to come forward and contribute in any way possible to mitigate the effects of Covid-19,” she says."

Developing Medical Scientist Journey of Caroline Pule

 

The Vice-Chair of the Organisation of Women in Science in the Developing World, South African National Chapter (OWSD SANC)


I really want to thank my God! For this prestigious appointment: the Vice-Chair of the Organisation of Women in Science in the Developing World, South African National Chapter (OWSD SANC) at this age. I finally can be happy to lead women in science globally, bringing me closer to getting into United Nations (UN) and World Health Organisation (WHO).😊🙏😇📚✈️👩‍🔬💃Glory to God!

I’m in tears of Joy to also be selected to represent the ExCo at Women in Science Gender Summit in my favourite city London, UK. God is good and I thank Him for the love and support as He grows me in this career field. Not only as Dr Pule by qualification but by the difference I pray to God to keep doing in my career field as I grow, in STEM, public health and my country and one day in the world.  
I continuously realize age is just a number and starting young to lead with authenticity it’s the key, sometimes it can be challenging trying to prove your point to your superiors and Gurus in STEM, Profs, Drs etc. But with God, self-esteem, respect, humility and having a passion for what you do, it’s all possible. With God on your side, you can change the world and live your dream life.

To young girls out there believe in yourselves and always know that your dreams are valid!! On a miraculous journey!!

The Caroline Pule's Show - Lupus Autoimmune Disease Awareness





The Caroline Pule's Show- Discussing "Lupus Autoimmune Disease Awareness"

In contribution to the "Lupus Month Awareness", in open studio I was joined by three phenomenal guests with more knowledge about Lupus in order to help, discuss and educate the community about this disease. Briefly, Lupus is an auto immune disease in which antibodies which usually protects the body against infection attacks the body`s own tissues. It is also known as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus- SLE and is an uncommon disease but not as rare as previously believed.Treatment largely consists of limiting exposure to the sun in less severe cases. 

Watch the whole show to gain more knowledge and be well informed about Lupus.

Thanks to open studio, CTV for making this show possible and a success!!
