I have been always in love with geosciences, especially when it comes to ancient terrestrial life including humans, and geological events of Africa. My relationship with these approaches became greater when I joined the middle Atbara paleontology project for four seasons, digging up bones, excavating stone tools, observing bedrock and igneous intrusions, and working on sedimentary sections. Now I am a masters student at Khartoum University and a PALEONILE fellow at the Museum für Naturkunde, working on investigating past climatic conditions of the Nile Basin by analyzing the oxygen and carbon stable isotopes of freshwater oyster shells.
