SHARE Partner Honoured

Earlier this month, SHARE partner, Dr Sirajul Islam, Emeritus Scientist at ICDDR,B, was elected a Fellow of the Bangladesh Academy of Sciences (BAS).

Established in 1973, BAS is the most prestigious scientific body in Bangladesh and represents the country’s scientific community internationally. It currently comprises of around 50 of the country’s most distinguished scientists (its Fellows), a good number of reputed international scientists including Nobel Laureates (its Foreign Fellows) and eminent Bangladeshi scientists settled abroad (its expatriate Fellows).

This year, Dr Islam was the only candidate of the 14 that applied to be awarded a Fellowship for his services to sciences. It is a huge honour which recognises his contribution to academia nationally and internationally and SHARE passes on its warmest congratulations for this achievement.

Dr Islam is due to give an inaugural lecture in December, so watch this space to find out more.
