About the author: Catherine Shari works as an emergency physician at the Emergency Department of Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.  On top of that, she is also an honorary lecturer with the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences.  More recently Catherine became a GloCal research fellow (2017/2018).  But Catherine didn’t always consider a research-based career.  Oddly, she didn’t consider a career in emergency medicine either.  Both research and emergency medicine found her.  We caught up with Catherine so she could share her story.
