Prof. Pauline Byakika-Kibwika to PhD students:

“Complete your PhD on time; your questions are relevant now, not 10 years from now. Science moves fast, and policy changes. Treatments evolve. Delay can make your work obsolete. Completing early allows your findings to influence policy, innovation, and development sooner.”
