Hello everyone,
Glad to see so many Linkedin familiar faces here.
I am Manisha Roy, a biotechnology research scholar with Kidwai Cancer Institute in Bangalore, cervical cancer being the focus. Previously I was into the veterinary field, working on the molecular biology aspects of animal diseases. Altogether, I have seven plus years of experience in the area of scientific research.
I am just one deep-dive story old with Research Matters and looking forward to many more. Research and writing about it in leisure are two of my most favourite things.
Apart from this, I am an avid animal and environment lover and would like to see happiness return to mother nature one day.

Hi!
I am Ashwini. At the moment I am doing my MSc in environmental science at TU Delft (graduating this September). I love to write about the environment, especially topics like climate change and its impacts on wildlife and ecosystems.
What I am most passionate about is writing science (with simple illustrations) in a way that makes it sound fun and interesting even to kids.
You can find some of my writing here.
Happy to be here

Hi to all my fellow Researchers,
I am Arundhati, pursuing my PhD in Genetics from Dept of Genetics, University of Delhi South Campus. I am new to this forum and also to the field of Science Comm.
My ongoing research work is on “Crop improvements by Transgenic approaches”.
My research interest ranges from Food security and food policies to Plants to Apes. I have a keen interest in reading about Research or programs related to save Orangutans / Chimps / Gorilla. I am deeply inspired by Dr. Jane Goodall’s work, and I really look forward to work with her some day in future, or may be the kind of work that she does.
My hobbies include Food blogging and writing microtales (even though I have not written since last year, because of poor time management )
Hoping to have great interaction with everyone here in this forum !

Looking forward to having many interesting conversations and creating awareness about scientific writing on the whole.

Hello all,
I am Enam Reyaz, a PhD student from Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi.
My long stretched search for a platform to communicate scientific issues in the society lands me here.
I have always been deeply interested in writing, right from my school days, when I used to effectively pen down articles for the Kids and Teens section of the English daily, Hindustan Times.
Going through the articles and columns, makes me elated to see how science could be presented in so subtle ways.
I hope to contribute efficiently, and at the same time learn a ton from this forum.
Looking forward to this exciting expedition.

Hello All,
I’m Jayashree, PhD student at Indian Institute of Science, BSSE. I take a pleasure in simplifying science and explaining it in simple terms to people who lack formal background to understand the same. While I enjoy doing this over conversations with friends, family and peers from varied academic backgrounds, I’m equally interested in transforming the skill and achieve the same via writing where I can reach out to a larger audience.
I’m particularly interested in improving my writing skils for effective science communication and contribute to IBS articles. I’d be happy to know more about SciComm and how students can play a role in this not just to develop their skillset, but also enhance effective science communication to general public.
