008 | A conversation with Dr. Befrika Murdianti (Dr. M), Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of the Ozarks

In today’s episode we have Dr. Befrika Murdianti. She’s an associate professor of chemistry at the University of the Ozarks. We will talk about her life, born and raised in Indonesia, and how her culture differs from other cultures, and how life in general is in a country like Indonesia. We also talk about the Indonesian earthquake in Sumatra, which caused damages and deaths, and how she experienced that natural disaster.

Dr. M practices Islam, and there was an event on campus called "Fast-A-Thon", basically to be part of the Ramadan for one day and fast from sunrise to sunset, event in which I participated, and we talked about that, and about how is it for a Muslim to fast for so long time for about a month.

We also got to know more about her professional career, and all her responsibilities here at Ozarks. A fun conversation full of interesting facts about her, her culture, religion, and of course... chemistry!
